Heavy polarons in ultracold atomic Fermi superfluids at the BEC-BCS crossover: Formalism and applications

Jia Wang, Xia-Ji Liu, Hui Hu

We investigate the system of a heavy impurity embedded in a paired two-component Fermi gas at the crossover from a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) to a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid via an extension of the functional determinant approach (FDA). FDA is an exact numerical approach applied to study manifestations of Anderson's orthogonality catastrophe (OC) in the system of a static impurity immersed in an ideal Fermi gas. Here, we extend the FDA to a strongly correlated superfluid background described by a BCS mean-field wave function. In contrast to the ideal Fermi gas case, the pairing gap in the BCS superfluid prevents the OC and leads to genuine polaron signals in the spectrum. Thus our exactly solvable model can provide a deeper understanding of polaron physics. In addition, we find that the polaron spectrum can be used to measure the superfluid pairing gap, and in the case of a magnetic impurity, the energy of the subgap Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound state. Our theoretical predictions can be examined with state-of-art cold-atom experiments.

Probing the dynamic structure factor of a neutral Fermi superfluid along the BCS-BEC crossover using atomic impurity qubits

Mark T. Mitchison, T. H. Johnson, Dieter Jaksch

We study an impurity atom trapped by an anharmonic potential, immersed within a cold atomic Fermi gas with attractive interactions that realizes the crossover from a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superfluid to a Bose-Einstein condensate. Considering the qubit comprising the lowest two vibrational energy eigenstates of the impurity, we demonstrate that its dynamics probes the equilibrium density fluctuations encoded in the dynamic structure factor of the superfluid. Observing the impurity's evolution is thus shown to facilitate nondestructive measurements of the superfluid order parameter and the contact between collective and single-particle excitation spectra. Our setup constitutes a model of an open quantum system interacting with a thermal reservoir, the latter supporting both bosonic and fermionic excitations that are also coupled to each other.
