• Authors: Renato Pessoa, S. A Vitiello and L. A Pe\~na Ardila
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Charged quasiparticles dressed by the low excitations of an electron gas, constitute one of the fundamental pillars for understanding quantum many-body effects in some materials. Quantum simulation of quasiparticles arising from atom-ion hybrid systems may shed light on solid-state uncharted regimes. Here we investigate the ionic Fermi polaron consisting of a charged impurity interacting with a polarized Fermi bath. Employing state-of-the-art quantum Monte Carlo techniques tailored for strongly correlated systems, we characterize the charged quasiparticle by computing the energy spectrum, quasiparticle residue, and effective mass, as well as the structural properties of the system. Our findings in the weak coupling regime agree with field-theory predictions within the ladder approximation. However, stark deviations emerge in the strongly interacting regime attributed to the vastly large density inhomogeneity around the ion, resulting in strong correlations for distances on the order of the atom-ion potential range. Moreover, 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 beyond the short-range limit.

  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.

  Superconductivity and charge density waves are observed in close vicinity in strongly correlated materials. We investigate the nature of such an intertwined state of matter stabilized in the phase diagram of the elementary $t$-$tprime$-$U$ Hubbard model. We provide conclusive evidence that the macroscopic wave functions of the superconducting fragments are well-described by soliton solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau equation.

• Cavity Induced Collective Behavior in the Polaritonic Ground State [0.0]
  We investigate collective phenomena in a system of many particles in a harmonic trap coupled to a homogeneous quantum cavity field. The cavity field mediates pairwise long-range interactions and enhances the effective mass of the particles. The light-matter interaction also modifies the photonic properties of the polariton system, as the ground state is populated with bunched photons.

  We investigate the static properties of one and two ionic impurities in a bosonic bath using quantum Monte Carlo methods. We identify three bipolaronic regimes depending on the strength of the atom-ion potential and the number of its two-body bound states. Our findings show that numerical simulations are indispensable for describing highly correlated impurity models.

• Ionic polaron in a Bose-Einstein condensate [0.0]
  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.
