If you have a question about this talk, please contact Vincent Boyer. I shall describe some theoretical studies of the collective dynamics of rotational excitations of polar molecules loaded into an optical lattice in two dimensions. These excitations behave as hard-core bosons with a relativistic energy dispersion arising from the dipolar coupling between molecules. This has interesting consequences for the collective many-body phases. The rotational excitations can form a Bose-Einstein condensate at non-zero temperature, manifesting itself as a divergent T2 coherence time of the rotational transition even in the presence of inhomogeneous broadening. The dynamical evolution of a dense gas of rotational excitations shows regimes of non-ergodicity, characteristic of many-body localization and localization protected quantum order.
