• Title: BEC immersed in a Fermi sea: Theory of static and dynamic behavior across phase separation
• Authors: Bo Huang
• Abstract summary: We study the static and dynamic behavior of a BEC immersed in a large Fermi sea of ultracold atoms under conditions of tunable interspecies interaction. We develop mean-field models to simulate the system over a wide range of repulsion strength. We show that the mediated interaction between bosons induced by the Fermi sea can be understood as an adiabatic second-order mean-field effect.

• Abstract: We theoretically study the static and dynamic behavior of a BEC immersed in a large Fermi sea of ultracold atoms under conditions of tunable interspecies interaction. The degenerate Bose-Fermi mixture is kept in an elongated trap, typical for a single-beam optical dipole trap. We focus on the case of repulsive Bose-Fermi interaction and develop mean-field models to simulate the system over a wide range of repulsion strength. We further get analytical solutions in the regimes of phase separation and weak interaction. We obtain static density profiles and the frequency of the radial breathing mode, which is an elementary dynamic phenomenon of the mixture. Our results unveil the structure of the Bose-Fermi interface and describe the origin of the frequency shift of the breathing mode when the components become phase-separated at strong repulsion. We show that the mediated interaction between bosons induced by the Fermi sea can be understood as an adiabatic second-order mean-field effect, which is valid also beyond the weak-interaction regime for relevant experimental conditions. These results are consistent with our recent observations in a mixture of $^{41}$K and $^6$Li.

  We show that optical spectroscopy can experimentally identify phase-trapped and phase-delocalized dynamical regimes of condensation. In the weak-bias regime, the trapped dynamics of the order parameter's phase lead to an in-gap absorption line at a frequency almost independent of the bias voltage. Close to the transition between the trapped and freely oscillating states, we find a strong response upon application of a weak electric probe field.

  We study the emergence of dynamical phases of a Bose-Einstein condensate that is optomechanically coupled to a dissipative cavity mode. We derive an effective model for the atomic motion, where the cavity degrees of freedom are eliminated. We show that such limit cycle solutions are metastable configurations of the adiabatic model.

  We study subradiance in a Bose-Einstein condensate positioned at the mode crossing of two optical cavities. metastable density structures that suppress emission into one cavity mode prevent relaxation to the stationary, superradiant grating. We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

  We study the collective oscillations of spin-polarized fermionic impurities immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate. For strong interactions, the Fermi gas perfectly mimics the superfluid hydrodynamic modes of the condensate. With an increasing number of bosonic thermal excitations, the dynamics of the impurities cross over from the collisionless to the hydrodynamic regime.

  We investigate a cold atomic Bose-Fermi mixture confined in an optical lattice potential solely affecting the bosons. Under attractive Bose-Fermi interaction, the insulating phase may adopt a fermionic wedding-cake-like configuration. For repulsive interaction, the trap destabilizes the Peierls phase, causing the two species to separate.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
