• Title: Bound states of an ultracold atom interacting with a set of stationary impurities
• Authors: Marta Sroczy\'nska and Zbigniew Idziaszek
• Abstract summary: We consider two types of atom-impurity interaction: (i) zero-range potential represented by regularized delta, (ii) more realistic polarization potential. For the former we obtain analytical results for energies of bound states. For the latter we perform numerical calculations based on the application of finite element method.

• Abstract: In this manuscript we analyse properties of bound states of an atom interacting with a set of static impurities. We begin with the simplest system of a single atom interacting with two static impurities. We consider two types of atom-impurity interaction: (i) zero-range potential represented by regularized delta, (ii) more realistic polarization potential, representing long-range part of the atom-ion interaction. For the former we obtain analytical results for energies of bound states. For the latter we perform numerical calculations based on the application of finite element method. Then, we move to the case of a single atom interacting with one-dimensional (1D) infinite chain of static ions. Such a setup resembles Kronig-Penney model of a 1D crystalline solid, where energy spectrum exhibits band structure behaviour. For this system, we derive analytical results for the band structure of bound states assuming regularized delta interaction, and perform numerical calculations, considering polarization potential to model atom-impurity interaction. Both approaches agree quite well when separation between impurities is much larger than characteristic range of the interaction potential.

  A two-dimensional hydrogen atom offers a promising alternative for describing the quantum interaction between an electron and a proton in the presence of a straight cosmic string. We calculate the eigenenergies, probability distribution function, and expected values for the hydrogen atom with logarithmic potential under the influence of the topological defect. Our model leads to an interesting analogy with excitons in a two-dimensional monolayer semiconductor located within a specific semiconductor region.

• Trapped ion-mediated interactions between two distant trapped atoms [0.0]
  We show that when two largely separated atoms interact with a trapped ion via Rydberg excitation of the atoms, the ion-mediated interaction exceeds the direct atom-atom interaction by several orders of magnitude. Since the motion of the atoms is much slower than the motion of the ion, we resort to Born-Oppenheimer approximation to calculate the ion-mediated adiabatic potential.

  We use a functional integral approach to evaluate the quantum interaction energy between two neutral atoms. We show that the resulting expression for the energy becomes the Van der Waals interaction energy at the first non-trivial order. We also explore the opposite, strong-coupling limit, which yields a result for the interaction energy as well as a threshold for the existence of a vacuum decay probability.

  One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

  The presence of strong interactions in a many-body quantum system can lead to a variety of exotic effects. We show that even in a relatively simple setup the competition of length scales gives rise to a highly correlated state. Our findings are directly relevant to experiments using hybrid atom-ion setups that have recently attained the ultracold regime.
