After decades of improvements in cooling techniques of several atomic species and in
finding methods for the achievement of stable quantum mixtures, the field is now ready for …

This review describes the field of Bose polarons, arising when mobile impurities are
immersed into a bosonic quantum gas. The latter can be realized by a Bose-Einstein …

Atoms with a highly excited electron, called Rydberg atoms, can form unusual types of
molecular bonds,,–. The bonds differ from the well-known ionic and covalent bonds, not only …

Interactions between quasiparticles mediated by a surrounding environment are ubiquitous
and lead to a range of important effects from collective modes of low-temperature quantum …

Induced interactions and bound states of charge carriers immersed in a quantum medium
are crucial for the investigation of quantum transport. Ultracold atom-ion systems can …

The presence of strong interactions in a many-body quantum system can lead to a variety of
exotic effects. Here we show that even in a comparatively simple setup consisting of a …

We explore the interaction between two trapped ions mediated by a surrounding quantum
degenerate Bose or Fermi gas. Using perturbation theory valid for weak atom-ion …

We propose a novel type of Rydberg dimer, consisting of a Rydberg-state atom bound to a
distant positive ion. The molecule is formed through long-range electric-multipole interaction …

We study the properties of an impurity immersed in a weakly interacting Bose gas, ie, of a
Bose polaron. In the perturbatively tractable limit of weak impurity-boson interactions many …

Ultracold hybrid ion-atom gases represent an exciting frontier for quantum simulation
offering a new set of functionalities and control. Here, we study a mobile ion immersed in a …
