Binding by dissipation — •Hendrik Weimer — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Leibniz Universität Hannover

I will demonstrate how dissipative forces can act as a binding mechanism between two strongly interacting particles, even when the interaction potential is purely repulsive [1]. The bound state arises as a quasi-stationary state of the dynamical evolution of the system. This method also carries the potential to serve as a cooling mechanism for strongly interacting quantum gases. Finally, I will discuss a possible experimental realization with ultracold Rydberg atoms.
