• Abstract: Recent years have seen growing interest in sharp polaronic transitions in systems with strongly momentum-dependent interactions of an itinerant excitation (electron, hole, exciton) with dispersionless phonons. This work presents a scheme for investigating such phenomena in a controllable fashion within the framework of an analog quantum simulator based on an array of neutral atoms in optical tweezers. The envisioned analog simulator, in which the atoms interact through Rydberg-dressed resonant dipole-dipole interaction, allows one to study the rich interplay of Peierls- and breathing-mode-type excitation-phonon interactions. Based on a numerically-exact treatment of one special case of this system -- namely, the case with equal Peierls- and breathing-mode coupling strengths -- a sharp small-polaron transition was shown to take place for a critical value of the effective excitation-phonon coupling strength. This transition signifies the change from a completely bare (undressed by phonons) excitation below the transition point and a strongly phonon-dressed one (small polaron) above it. This work also highlights the comparative advantages of highly-controllable Rydberg-atom-based systems to other physical platforms for simulating polaronic phenomenology, which could be exploited to study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the small-polaron formation.

  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.

• Spectral features of polaronic excitations in a superconducting analog simulator [0.0]
  We investigate spectral properties of polaronic excitations within the framework of an analog quantum simulator. The system emulates a lattice model that describes a nonlocal coupling of an itinerant spinless-fermion excitation to dispersionless (Einstein-type) phonons. We show that -- based on the numerically evaluated spectral function and its well-known relation with the survival probability of the initial, bare-excitation Bloch state (the Loschmidt echo) -- one can make predictions about the system dynamics following an excitation-phonon interaction.
