Supersolid Phases in Ultracold Gases of Microwave Shielded Polar Molecules
read the original abstract
We propose a novel scheme to realize the supersolid phase in ultracold gases of microwave-shielded polar molecules by engineering an additional anisotropy in inter-molecular dipolar interaction via an elliptically polarized microwave. It is shown through quantum Monte-Carlo calculations that the interplay of the anisotropies between the interaction and trapping potential gives rise to rich quantum phases. Particularly, it is found that the supersolid phase emerges in the parameter regime accessible to current experiments. Our study paves the way for exploring the properties of supersolid phases in ultracold gases of polar molecules.

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium phases of microwave-dressed polar molecules beyond rotational symmetries
Microwave dressing breaks rotational symmetry in polar-molecule interactions, producing metastable droplet arrays as non-equilibrium states while suppressing the crystalline phase expected for antidipolar cases.

Formation and dynamics of self-bound droplets in dipolar molecular condensate
Self-bound quantum droplets exhibit nonmonotonous dependence on non-axisymmetric DDI strength, tighter binding with more particles, collapse at low s-wave scattering length, and direction-dependent collision outcomes ...

Programmable dipolar interaction geometry selects stripe-family order in a molecular lattice quantum simulator
Programmable non-axisymmetric dipolar interactions select a family of stripe solids rather than a single commensurate order in a hard-core Bose lattice model, as shown by quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

Microwave shielding of ultracold polar molecules on the transition $\boldsymbol{n=1 \rightarrow 2}$
Microwave shielding on the n=1→2 transition prevents collisions between ultracold polar molecules without producing bound states that would enhance three-body recombination.
