Stochastic-field approach to the quench dynamics of the one-dimensional Bose polaron

Abstract

We consider the dynamics of a quantum impurity after a sudden interaction quench into a one-dimensional degenerate Bose gas. We use the Keldysh path integral formalism to derive a truncated Wigner like approach that takes the back action of the impurity onto the condensate into account already on the mean-field level and further incorporates thermal and quantum effects up to one-loop accuracy. This framework enables us not only to calculate the real space trajectory of the impurity but also the absorption spectrum. We find that quantum corrections and thermal effects play a crucial role for the impurity momentum at weak to intermediate impurity-bath couplings.Furthermore, we see the broadening of the absorption spectrum with increasing temperature.
