Fermi spin polaron and dissipative Fermi-polaron Rabi dynamics
arXiv:2206.02317 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.108.063312
Abstract
We consider a spin impurity with multiple energy levels moving in a non-interacting Fermi sea, and theoretically solve this Fermi spin polaron problem at nonzero temperature by using a non-self-consistent many-body -matrix theory. We focus on the simplest case with spin half, where the two energy states of the impurity are coupled by a Rabi flip term. At small Rabi coupling, the impurity exhibits damped Rabi oscillations, where the decoherence is caused by the interaction with the Fermi sea, as recently reported in Fermi polaron experiments with ultracold atoms. We investigate the dependence of Rabi oscillations on the Rabi coupling strength and examine the additional nonlinear damping due to large Rabi coupling. At finite temperature and at nonzero impurity concentration, the impurity can acquire a pronounced momentum distribution. We show that the momentum/thermal average can sizably reduce the visibility of Rabi oscillations. We compare our theoretical predictions to the recent experimental data and find a good agreement without any adjustable parameter.
