We propose a one-channel, simple model to describe the dynamics of ultracold dipolar molecules around a F\"orster resonance. Slightly above a specific electric field, a collisional shielding can take place, suppressing the molecular losses…

Chiroptical responses in atomic systems are usually weak, as they arise from the interference between electric- and much weaker magnetic-dipole transitions. We show that atoms arranged in chiral geometries can instead exhibit a strong…

Rydberg-atom ensembles are switched from a weakly- into a strongly-interacting regime via adiabatic transformation of the atoms from an approximately non-polar into a highly dipolar quantum state. The resultant electric dipole-dipole forces…
