Tunable Polarons of Slow-Light Polaritons in a Two-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensate.
When an impurity interacts with a bath of phonons it forms a polaron. For increasing interaction strengths the mass of the polaron increases and it can become self-trapped. For impurity atoms inside an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) the nature of this transition is not understood. While Feynman's variational approach to the Fröhlich model predicts a sharp transition for light impurities,...
متن کاملFinite Temperature Excitations of a Trapped Bose Gas by Feynman-Kac Path Integral Approach
We present results from a detailed Quantum Monte Carlo study of BEC applied to JILA experiment[Jin et al, Phys. Rev. Lett.78,764,1997]. This is the first Monte Carlo approach ( based on Feynman-Kac path integral method) to the above problem where good agreement is found for both the lowest lying m = 2 and m = 0 mode. We found an upward shift of experimental data for m = 0 mode at around T = 0.7...
متن کاملRenormalization group approach to the Fröhlich polaron model: application to impurity-BEC problem
When a mobile impurity interacts with a many-body system, such as a phonon bath, a polaron is formed. Despite the importance of the polaron problem for a wide range of physical systems, a unified theoretical description valid for arbitrary coupling strengths is still lacking. Here we develop a renormalization group approach for analyzing a paradigmatic model of polarons, the so-called Fröhlich ...
متن کاملAb initio Lattice Results for Fermi Polarons in Two Dimensions.
We investigate the attractive Fermi polaron problem in two dimensions using nonperturbative Monte Carlo simulations. We introduce a new Monte Carlo algorithm called the impurity lattice Monte Carlo method. This algorithm samples the path integral in a computationally efficient manner and has only small sign oscillations for systems with a single impurity. As a benchmark of the method, we calcul...
متن کاملA Generalized Mean Field Approach to the Polaron
The motion of an electron in a polar crystal has often been treated in a number of previous works motivated by its increasing interest in transport phenomena in semiconductors, which play an important role in the miniaturization of electronic devices. In addition to its possible connection with the real behavior of an electron and a crystal, this model represents one of the simplest examples of...
