Downfolding a quantum many-body system: the quasi-1D Fermi polaron

L. Barisic, Giuliano Orso, Frédéric Chevy +1 more

We investigate the properties of an impurity immersed in an ensemble of spin-polarized fermions confined in a tight quantum wire. We use a non-perturbative variational approach that accounts for virtual transverse excitations and regularizes the zero-range interaction. We compute the polaron's energy, effective mass, and spectral weight, and benchmark our results against the exactly solvable Yang-Gaudin model of a purely 1D system. While the two models agree in the weakly interacting regime, we find significant deviations in the strongly attractive limit, including a divergence of the effective mass and evidence for a polaron-to-molecule transition inherited from the underlying 3D physics, which is absent in the purely 1D description. Our work quantifies the accuracy of quasi-1D systems as analog quantum simulators and highlights the emergence of beyond-1D physics even in nominally 1D settings.

Radio Frequency Spectroscopy Of a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Fermi Gas

Yingyi Zhang

This dissertation presents the first experiments on radio frequency (rf) spectroscopy of a quasi-two dimensional strongly interacting ultracold atomic Fermi gas. A 50-50 mixture of spin-up and spin-down atoms is confined in a series of pancake-shaped traps produced using an optical standing-wave. To make the system quasi-two dimensional, I adjust the Fermi energy in the weakly confined direction to be comparable to the harmonic oscillator energy level spacing in the tightly confined direction. For a perfectly two dimensional system, at low enough temperature, spin-up and spin-down atoms should form dimers in the ground state of the tightly confined direction. However, in our quasi-two dimensional system I find that the simple dimer theory does not agree with the measured radio-frequency spectra. Instead, the data can be explained by polaron to polaron transitions, which is a many-body effect. Here, a polaron is a spin-down impurity surrounded by a cloud of particle-hole pairs in a spin-up Fermi sea. With this unique strongly interacting quasi-two dimensional system, I am able to study the interplay between confinement induced two-body pairing and many-body physics in confined mesoscopic systems of several hundred atoms, which has not been previously explored and offers new challenges for predictions.
