Motion of an impurity in a two-leg ladder
arXiv:2101.06526 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.103.094310
Abstract
We study the motion of an impurity in a two-leg ladder interacting with two fermionic baths along each leg, a simple model bridging cold atom quantum simulators with an idealised description of the basic transport processes in a layered heterostructure. Using the linked-cluster expansion we obtain exact analytical results for the single-particle Green's function and find that the long-time behaviour is dominated by an intrinsic orthogonality catastrophe associated to the motion of the impurity in each one-dimensional chain. We explore both the case of two identical legs as well as the case where the legs are characterised by different interaction strengths: in the latter case we observe a subleading correction which can be relevant for intermediate-time transport at an interface between different materials. In all the cases we do not find significant differences between the intra- and inter-leg Green's functions in the long-time limit.
