We consider dipolar excitations propagating via dipole-induced exchange among immobile molecules randomly spaced in a lattice. The character of the propagation is determined by long-range hops (Levy flights). We analyze the eigen-energy…
We calculate ground state energies in the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory for $N$ electrons (with $N\le 20$) confined to a circular quantum dot and in presence of a static magnetic field. Comparison with the predictions of Hartree-Fock,…

We demonstrate that through localised Rydberg excitation in a three-dimensional cold atom cloud atomic motion can be rendered directed and nearly confined to a plane, without spatial constraints for the motion of individual atoms. This…
