• Abstract summary: We measure the spectral properties and real-time dynamics of mobile impurities injected into a homogeneous Bose--Einstein condensate. We map out both attractive and repulsive branches of polaron quasiparticles. For near-resonant interactions the polarons are no longer well defined, but the universality still holds.

• Abstract: Predicting the emergent properties of impurities immersed in a quantum bath is a fundamental challenge that can defy quasiparticle treatments. Here, we measure the spectral properties and real-time dynamics of mobile impurities injected into a homogeneous Bose--Einstein condensate, using two Feshbach resonances to tune both the impurity-bath and intrabath interactions. We map out both attractive and repulsive branches of polaron quasiparticles, resolving the repulsive polaron and the molecular state associated with the Feshbach resonance in the strongly interacting regime, and show that the latter also has a many-body character. Our measurements reveal remarkably universal behavior, controlled by the bath density and a single dimensionless interaction parameter; for near-resonant interactions the polarons are no longer well defined, but the universality still holds.

  Long-range interactions are a key resource in many quantum phenomena and technologies. We show how to design the polaritonic bands of these atomic metamaterials to feature a pair of frequency-isolated Weyl points. These Weyl excitations can thus mediate interactions that are simultaneously long-range, due to their gapless nature; robust, due to the topological protection of Weyl points; and decoherence-free, due to their subradiant character.

• 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.

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