We demonstrate coherence between exciton-polariton condensates created resonantly at different times. The coherence persists much longer than the individual particle dephasing time, and this persistence increases as the particle density increases. The observed coherence time exceeds that of the injecting laser pulse by more than an order of magnitude. We show that this significant coherence enhancement relies critically on the many-body particle interactions, as verified by its dependence on particle density, interaction strength, and bath temperature, whereas the mass of the particles plays no role in the condensation of resonantly injected polaritons. Furthermore, we observe a large nonlinear phase shift resulting from intra-condensate interaction energy. Our results provide a new approach for probing ultrafast dynamics of resonantly-created condensates and open new directions in the study of coherence in matter.

The circular dichroism (CD) of photoelectrons generated by near-infrared (NIR) laser pulses using multiphoton ionization of excited He ions in the 3p(m= +1) state is investigated. The ions were prepared by circularly polarized extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses. For circularly polarized NIR pulses co- and counter-rotating relative to the polarization of the XUV pulse, a complex variation of the CD is observed as a result of intensity- and polarization-dependent Freeman resonances, with and without additional dichroic AC-Stark shifts.

The microscopic pair structure of superfluids has profound consequences on their properties. Delocalized pairs are predicted to be less affected by static disorder than localized pairs. Ultracold gases allow tuning the pair size via interactions, where for resonant interaction superfluids show largest critical velocity, i.

Rabi oscillations have long been thought to be out of reach in simulations using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), a prominent symptom of the failure of the adiabatic approximation for nonperturbative dynamics. We present a reformulation of TDDFT which requires response quantities only, thus enabling an adiabatic approximation to predict such dynamics accurately because the functional is evaluated on a density close to the ground state, instead of on the fully nonperturbative density. Our reformulation applies to any real-time dynamics, redeeming TDDFT far from equilibrium.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how energy flows between vibrational modes in gas-phase fluorobenzene after it's excited with a multi-THz pump, emphasizing the importance of anharmonic coupling.
- - It concludes that simple models based only on anharmonic coupling coefficients are insufficient, highlighting the need to consider the full motion of each mode during excitation.
- - The findings suggest that vibrational modes with A1 or B2 symmetry play a more significant role in energy transfer due to their favorable symmetry-allowed pathways.
