Several fermions strongly interacting with a heavy mobile impurity in a one-dimensional harmonic trap

Abstract

We propose a numerically exact method for a mixture with a single impurity immersed in several majority fermions, confined in a harmonic potential. We separate one of the degrees of freedom through an appropriately tailored canonical transformation and perform exact diagonalization on the simplified Hamiltonian. This method is especially effective for a heavy impurity, where it outmatches the typical exact diagonalization approach. We used our method to calculate energy and density profiles of the first few eigenstates for the mixture with up to ten majority fermions.
