Title: Stability and breakdown of Fermi polarons in a strongly interacting Fermi-Bose mixture

Abstract summary: We investigate an imbalanced mixture of bosonic $41$K impurities immersed in a Fermi sea of ultracold $6$Li atoms. We find that the energy of the Fermi polarons formed in the thermal fraction of the impurity cloud remains rather insensitive to the impurity concentration. A closer investigation of the behavior of the condensate by means of Rabi oscillation measurements support this observation.

Abstract: We investigate the properties of a strongly interacting imbalanced mixture of bosonic $^{41}$K impurities immersed in a Fermi sea of ultracold $^6$Li atoms. This enables us to explore the Fermi polaron scenario for large impurity concentrations including the case where they form a Bose-Einstein condensate. The system is characterized by means of radio-frequency injection spectroscopy and interspecies interactions are widely tunable by means of a well-characterized Feshbach resonance. We find that the energy of the Fermi polarons formed in the thermal fraction of the impurity cloud remains rather insensitive to the impurity concentration, even as we approach equal densities for both species. The apparent insensitivity to high concentration is consistent with a theoretical prediction, based on Landau's quasiparticle theory, of a weak effective interaction between the polarons. The condensed fraction of the bosonic $^{41}$K gas is much denser than its thermal component, which leads to a break-down of the Fermi polaron description. Instead, we observe a new branch in the radio-frequency spectrum with a small energy shift, which is consistent with the presence of Bose polarons formed by $^{6}$Li fermions inside the $^{41}$K condensate. A closer investigation of the behavior of the condensate by means of Rabi oscillation measurements support this observation, indicating that we have realized Fermi and Bose polarons, two fundamentally different quasiparticles, in one cloud.

Polaron formation in insulators and the key role of hole scattering processes: Band insulators, charge density waves and Mott transition [0.0]
A mobile impurity immersed in a non-interacting Fermi sea is dressed by the gapless particle-hole excitations of the fermionic medium. The polaron spectral function is shown to exhibit striking signatures of the underlying fermionic background. We find that the ladder approximation is inaccurate in these band systems, due to the fact that the particle and hole scattering phase spaces are comparable.

Fermi polaron in atom-ion hybrid systems [0.0]
We investigate the ionic Fermi polaron consisting of a charged impurity interacting with a polarized Fermi bath. We find a smooth polaron-molecule transition for strong coupling, in contrast with the neutral case, where the transition smoothens only for finite temperature and finite impurity density. This study may provide valuable insights into alternative solid-state systems such as Fermi excitons polarons in atomically thin semiconductors.

The strongly driven Fermi polaron [49.81410781350196]
Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

Thermal masses and trapped-ion quantum spin models: a self-consistent approach to Yukawa-type interactions in the $λ\!φ^4$ model [44.99833362998488]
A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

Collective spontaneous emission of two entangled atoms near an oscillating mirror [50.591267188664666]
We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

We study the spin diffusion dynamics of 13C in diamond, which we dynamically polarize at room temperature via optical spin pumping of engineered color centers. We find good thermal contact throughout the nuclear spin bath, virtually independent of the hyperfine coupling strength. Our results open intriguing opportunities to study the onset of thermalization in a system by controlling the internal interactions within the bath.
