• Title: One-dimensional Fermi polaron after a kick: two-sided singularity of the momentum distribution, Bragg reflection and other exact results
• Authors: Oleksandr Gamayun, Oleg Lychkovskiy,
• Abstract summary: We calculate the distribution of the polaron momentum established when the post-kick relaxation is over. In the first process, the whole impulse is transferred to the polaron, without creating phonon-like excitations of the fluid. The latter process is, in fact, a Bragg reflection at the edge of the emergent Brillouin zone.

• Abstract: A mobile impurity particle immersed in a quantum fluid forms a polaron - a quasiparticle consisting of the impurity and a local disturbance of the fluid around it. We ask what happens to a one-dimensional polaron after a kick, i.e. an abrupt application of a force that instantly delivers a finite impulse to the impurity. In the framework of an integrable model describing an impurity in a one-dimensional gas of fermions or hard-core bosons, we calculate the distribution of the polaron momentum established when the post-kick relaxation is over. A remarkable feature of this distribution is a two-sided power-law singularity. It emerges due to one of two processes. In the first process, the whole impulse is transferred to the polaron, without creating phonon-like excitations of the fluid. In the second process, the impulse is shared between the polaron and the center-of-mass motion of the fluid, again without creating any fluid excitations. The latter process is, in fact, a Bragg reflection at the edge of the emergent Brillouin zone. We carefully analyze the conditions for each of the two processes. The asymptotic form of the distribution in the vicinity of the singularity is derived.

  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.

  We find a striking resemblance to the process of particle decay: the initial amplitude of the single particle decays in time. At long time the entanglement state is an entangled state of the heavy and massless particles. The entropy is shown to grow under time evolution describing the flow of information from the initial single particle to the final multiparticle state.

  Recent studies have demonstrated that higher than two-body bath-impurity correlations are not important for quantitatively describing the ground state of the Bose polaron. We employ the so-called Gross Ansatz approach to unravel the stationary and dynamical properties of the homogeneous one-dimensional Bose-polaron.

We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
