AbstractThe presence of strong interactions in a many-body quantum system can lead to a variety of exotic effects. Here we show that even in a comparatively simple setup consisting of a charged impurity in a weakly interacting bosonic medium the competition of length scales gives rise to a highly correlated mesoscopic state. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we unravel its vastly different polaronic properties compared to neutral quantum impurities. Moreover, we identify a transition between the regime amenable to conventional perturbative treatment in the limit of weak atom-ion interactions and a many-body bound state with vanishing quasi-particle residue composed of hundreds of atoms. In order to analyze the structure of the corresponding states, we examine the atom-ion and atom-atom correlation functions which both show nontrivial properties. Our findings are directly relevant to experiments using hybrid atom-ion setups that have recently attained the ultracold regime.

AbstractWe consider the Fröhlich Hamiltonian in a mean-field limit where many bosonic particles weakly couple to the quantized phonon field. For large particle numbers and a suitably small coupling, we show that the dynamics of the system is approximately described by the Landau–Pekar equations. These describe a Bose–Einstein condensate interacting with a classical polarization field, whose dynamics is effected by the condensate, i.e., the back-reaction of the phonons that are created by the particles during the time evolution is of leading order.

The Impact

The notion of a polaron, originally introduced in the context of electrons in ionic lattices, helps us to understand how a quantum impurity behaves when being immersed in and interacting with a many-body background. We discuss the impact of the impurities on the medium particles by considering feedback effects from polarons that can be realized in ultracold quantum gas experiments. In particular, we exemplify the modifications of the medium in the presence of either Fermi or Bose polarons. Regarding Fermi polarons we present a corresponding many-body diagrammatic approach operating at finite temperatures and discuss how mediated two- and three-body interactions are implemented within this framework. Utilizing this approach, we analyze the behavior of the spectral function of Fermi polarons at finite temperature by varying impurity-medium interactions as well as spatial dimensions from three to one. Interestingly, we reveal that the spectral function of the medium atoms could be a useful quantity for analyzing the transition/crossover from attractive polarons to molecules in three-dimensions. As for the Bose polaron, we showcase the depletion of the background Bose-Einstein condensate in the vicinity of the impurity atom. Such spatial modulations would be important for future investigations regarding the quantification of interpolaron correlations in Bose polaron problems.

Loss Of Coherence

AbstractWe suggest to subject anharmonically trapped Bose–Einstein condensates to sinusoidal forcing with a smooth, slowly changing envelope, and to measure the coherence of the system after such pulses. In a series of measurements with successively increased maximum forcing strength, one then expects an adiabatic return of the condensate to its initial state as long as the pulses remain sufficiently weak. In contrast, once the maximum driving amplitude exceeds a certain critical value there should be a drastic loss of coherence, reflecting significant heating induced by the pulse. This predicted experimental signature is traced to the loss of an effective adiabatic invariant, and to the ensuing breakdown of adiabatic motion of the system’s Floquet state when the many-body dynamics become chaotic. Our scenario is illustrated with the help of a two-site model of a forced bosonic Josephson junction, but should also hold for other, experimentally accessible configurations.

Under investigation in this paper is a variable-coefficient Gross–Pitaevskii equation which describes the Bose–Einstein condensate. Lax pair, bilinear forms and bilinear Bäcklund transformation for the equation under some integrable conditions are derived. Based on the Lax pair and bilinear forms, double Wronskian solutions are constructed and verified. The [Formula: see text]th-order nonautonomous solitons in terms of the double Wronskian determinant are given. Propagation and interaction for the first- and second-order nonautonomous solitons are discussed from three cases. Amplitudes of the first- and second-order nonautonomous solitons are affected by a real parameter related to the variable coefficients, but independent of the gain-or-loss coefficient [Formula: see text] and linear external potential coefficient [Formula: see text]. For Case 1 [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] leads to the accelerated propagation of nonautonomous solitons. Parabolic-, cubic-, exponential- and cosine-type nonautonomous solitons are exhibited due to the different choices of [Formula: see text]. For Case 2 [Formula: see text], if the real part of the spectral parameter equals 0, stationary soliton can be formed. If we take the harmonic external potential coefficient [Formula: see text] as a positive constant and let the real parts of the two spectral parameters be the same, bound-state-like structures can be formed, but there are only one attractive and two repulsive procedures. For Case 3 [[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are taken as nonzero constants], head-on interaction, overtaking interaction and bound-state structure can be formed based on the signs of the two spectral parameters.
