Polaron formation in insulators and the key role of hole scattering processes in band insulators, charge density waves, and Mott transitions

I Amelio, G Mazza, N Goldman - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
A mobile impurity immersed in a noninteracting Fermi sea is dressed by the gapless particle-
hole excitations of the fermionic medium. This conventional Fermi-polaron setting is well …

Bound impurities in a one-dimensional Bose lattice gas: low-energy properties and quench-induced dynamics

F Isaule, A Rojo-Francàs, B Juliá-Díaz - SciPost Physics Core, 2024 - scipost.org
We study two mobile bosonic impurities immersed in a one-dimensional optical lattice and
interacting with a bosonic bath. We employ the exact diagonalization method for small …

Quantum impurities in finite-temperature Bose gases: Detecting vortex proliferation across the BKT and BEC transitions

P Comaron, N Goldman, A Imamoglu… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Detecting vortices in neutral superfluids represents an outstanding experimental challenge.
Using stochastic classical-field methods, we theoretically show that a quantum impurity …

Polarons and bipolarons in Rydberg-dressed extended Bose-Hubbard model

GA Domínguez-Castro, L Santos, LA Ardila - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Impurities immersed in hard-core Bose gases offer exciting opportunities to explore polaron
and bipolaron physics. We investigate the ground state properties of a single and a pair of …

First order Quantum Hall to Wigner crystal phase transition on a triangular lattice: an iDMRG study

G Fedorovich, C Kuhlenkamp, A Imamoglu… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this work we study a system of interacting fermions on a triangular lattice in the presence
of an external magnetic field. We neglect spin and fix a density of one third, with one unit of …
