Fermi polaron in atom-ion hybrid systems
arXiv:2401.05324 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.233002
Abstract
Atom-ion hybrid systems are promising platforms for the quantum simulation of polaron physics in certain quantum materials. Here, we investigate the ionic Fermi polaron, a charged impurity in a polarized Fermi bath, at zero temperature using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. We compute the energy spectrum, residue, effective mass, and structural properties. Significant deviations from field-theory prediction occur in the strong coupling regime due to large density inhomogeneities around the ion. We observe a smooth polaron-molecule transition in contrast with the neutral case. This study provides insights into solid-state systems like Fermi exciton polarons in thin semiconductors and quantum technologies based on atom-ion platforms.
