We study the properties of an impurity of mass $M$ moving through a spatially homogeneous three-dimensional fully polarized Fermi gas of particles of mass $m$. In the weakly attractive limit, where the effective coupling constant $gto0^-$ and perturbation theory can be used, both for a broad and a narrow Feshbach resonance, we obtain an explicit analytical expression for the complex energy $Delta E(KK)$ of the moving impurity up to order two included in $g$. This also gives access to its longitudinal and transverse effective masses $m_parallel^*(KK)$, $m_perp^*(KK)$, as functions of the impurity wave vector $KK$. Depending on the modulus of $KK$ and on the impurity-to-fermion mass ratio $M/m$ we identify four regions separated by singularities in derivatives with respect to $KK$ of the second-order term of $Delta E(KK)$, and we discuss the physical origin of these regions. Remarkably, the second-order term of $m_parallel^*(KK)$ presents points of non-differentiability, replaced by a logarithmic divergence for $M=m$, when $KK$ is on the Fermi surface of the fermions. We also discuss the third-order contribution and relevance for cold atom experiments.

The notion of a polaron, originally introduced in the context of electrons in ionic lattices, helps us to understand how a quantum impurity behaves when being immersed in and interacting with a many-body background. We discuss the impact of the impur
ities on the medium particles by considering feedback effects from polarons that can be realized in ultracold quantum gas experiments. In particular, we exemplify the modifications of the medium in the presence of either Fermi or Bose polarons. Regarding Fermi polarons we present a corresponding many-body diagrammatic approach operating at finite temperatures and discuss how mediated two- and three-body interactions are implemented within this framework. Utilizing this approach, we analyze the behavior of the spectral function of Fermi polarons at finite temperature by varying impurity-medium interactions as well as spatial dimensions from three to one. Interestingly, we reveal that the spectral function of the medium atoms could be a useful quantity for analyzing the transition/crossover from attractive polarons to molecules in three-dimensions. As for the Bose polaron, we showcase the depletion of the background Bose-Einstein condensate in the vicinity of the impurity atom. Such spatial modulations would be important for future investigations regarding the quantification of interpolaron correlations in Bose polaron problems.
We present a variational calculation of the energy of an impurity immersed a double Fermi sea of non-interacting Fermions. We show that in the strong-coupling regime, the system undergoes a first order transition between polaronic and trimer states.
Our result suggests that the smooth crossover predicted in previous literature for a superfluid background is the consequence of Cooper pairing and is absent in a normal system.
Recently, the topics of many-body localization (MBL) and one-dimensional strongly interacting few-body systems have received a lot of interest. These two topics have been largely developed separately. However, the generality of the latter as far as e
xternal potentials are concerned -- including random and quasirandom potentials -- and their shared spatial dimensionality, makes it an interesting way of dealing with MBL in the strongly interacting regime. Utilising tools developed for few-body systems we look to gain insight into the localization properties of the spin in a Fermi gas with strong interactions. We observe a delocalized--localized transition over a range of fillings of a quasirandom lattice. We find this transition to be of a different nature for low and high fillings, due to the diluteness of the system for low fillings.
We simulate a balanced attractively interacting two-component Fermi gas in a one-dimensional lattice perturbed with a moving potential well or barrier. Using the time-evolving block decimation method, we study different velocities of the perturbation
and distinguish two velocity regimes based on clear differences in the time evolution of particle densities and the pair correlation function. We show that, in the slow regime, the densities deform as particles are either attracted by the potential well or repelled by the barrier, and a wave front of hole or particle excitations propagates at the maximum group velocity. Simultaneously, the initial pair correlations are broken and coherence over different sites is lost. In contrast, in the fast regime, the densities are not considerably deformed and the pair correlations are preserved.
We consider the highly spin-imbalanced limit of a two-component Fermi gas, where there is a small density of $downarrow$ impurities attractively interacting with a sea of $uparrow$ fermions. In the single-impurity limit at zero temperature, there exi
sts the so-called polaron-molecule transition, where the impurity sharply changes its character by binding a $uparrow$ fermion at sufficiently strong attraction. Using a recently developed variational approach, we calculate the thermodynamic properties of the impurity, and we show that the transition becomes a smooth crossover at finite temperature due to the thermal occupation of excited states in the impurity spectral function. However, remnants of the single-impurity transition are apparent in the momentum-resolved spectral function, which can in principle be probed with Raman spectroscopy. We furthermore show that the Tan contact exhibits a characteristic non-monotonic dependence on temperature that provides a signature of the zero-temperature polaron-molecule transition. For a finite impurity density, we argue that descriptions purely based on the behavior of the Fermi polaron are invalid near the polaron-molecule transition, since correlations between impurities cannot be ignored. In particular, we show that the spin-imbalanced system undergoes phase separation at low temperatures due to the strong attraction between $uparrowdownarrow$ molecules induced by the Fermi sea. Thus, we find that the impurity spectrum and the induced impurity-impurity interactions are key to understanding the phase diagram of the spin-imbalanced Fermi gas.
