We study the repulsive Fermi polaron in a two-component, two-dimensional system of fermionic atoms inspired by the results of a recent experiment with $^{173}$Yb atoms [N. Darkwah Oppong textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{122}, 193604 (2019)]. We use the diffusion Monte Carlo method to report properties such as the polaron energy and the quasi-particle residue that have been measured in that experiment. To provide insight on the quasi-particle character of the problem, we also report results for the effective mass. We show that the effective range, together with the scattering length, is needed in order to reproduce the experimental results. Using different model potentials for the interaction between the Fermi sea and the impurity, we show that it is possible to establish a regime of universality, in terms of these two parameters, that includes the whole experimental regime. This illustrates the relevance of quantum fluctuations and beyond mean-field effects to correctly describe the Fermi polaron problem.

In this paper, we study the driven-dissipative p-spin models for $pgeq 2$. In thermodynamics limit, the equation of motion is derived by using a semiclassical approach. The long-time asymptotic states are obtained analytically, which exhibit multi-stability in some regions of the parameter space. The steady state is unique as the number of spins is finite. But the thermodynamic limit of the steady-state magnetization displays nonanalytic behavior somewhere inside the semiclassical multi-stable region. We find both the first-order and continuous dissipative phase transitions. As the number of spins increases, both the Liouvillian gap and magnetization variance vanish according to a power law at the continuous transition. At the first-order transition, the gap vanishes exponentially accompanied by a jump of magnetization in thermodynamic limit. The properties of transitions depend on the symmetry and semiclassical multistability, being qualitatively different among $p=2$, odd $p$ ($pgeq 3$) and even $p$ ($pgeq 4$).

In the mixture of ultracold spin-1 atoms of two different species A and B (e.g., $^{23}$Na (A) and $^{87}$Rb (B)), inter-species singlet-pairing process ${rm A}_{+1}+{rm B}_{-1}rightleftharpoons {rm A}_{-1}+{rm B}_{+1}$, can be induced by the spin-dependent inter-atomic interaction, where subscript $pm 1$ denotes the magnetic quantum number. Nevertheless, one cannot isolate this process from other spin-changing processes by tuning the bias real magnetic field. As a result, so far the singlet-pairing process have not been clearly observed in the experiments, and the measurement of the corresponding interaction strength becomes difficult. In this work we propose to control the singlet-pairing process via combining the real magnetic field and a laser-induced species-dependent synthetic magnetic field. With our approach one can significantly enhance this process and simultaneously supperess all other spin-changing processes. We illustrate our approach for both a confined two-atom system and a binary mixture of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. Our control scheme is helpful for the precise measurement of the weakly singlet-pairing interaction strength and the entanglement generation of two different atoms.

We report a magnetic domain wall in a uniform ferromagnetic spin-1 condensate, a stable topological excitation characterized by the magnetization having a dark soliton profile with nonvanishing superfluid density. In the absence of magnetic fields, this domain wall relates various distinct solitary excitations in binary condensates through $textrm{SO}(3)$ spin rotations, which otherwise are unconnected. We find an exact solution for a particular ratio of interaction parameters, and develop an accurate analytic solution applicable to the whole ferromagnetic phase. Studying the dynamics of a quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) system we show that standing wave excitations of the domain wall oscillate without decay, being stable against the snake instability. The domain wall is dynamically unstable to modes that cause the magnetization to twist. However, dynamics in the presence of noise reveals that this "spin twist" instability does not destroy the topological structure of the magnetic domain wall.

We study the thermodynamic properties of binary Bose mixtures, by developing a beyond mean-field Popov theory which properly includes the effects of quantum and thermal fluctuations in both the density and spin channels. Results for key thermodynamic quantities, such as the isothermal compressibility and the magnetic susceptibility, are derived from a perturbative calculation of the grand-canonical potential. We find that thermal fluctuations can play a crucial role on the miscibility condition of a binary mixture, favoring phase separation at finite temperature even if the mixture is soluble at zero temperature, as already anticipated in a previous work [Ota et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 075301 (2019)]. We further investigate the miscibility condition for binary mixtures in the presence of asymmetry in the intra-species interactions, as well as in the masses of the two components. Furthermore, we discuss the superfluid behavior of the mixture and the temperature dependence of the Andreev-Bashkin effect.

A recent experiment reported for the first time the preparation of a Fermi degenerate gas of polar molecules and observed a suppression of their chemical reaction rate compared to the one expected from a purely classical treatment. While it was hypothesized that the suppression in the ultracold regime had its roots in the Fermi statistics of the molecules, this argument is inconsistent with the fact that the Fermi pressure should set a lower bound for the chemical reaction rate. Therefore it can not be explained from standard two-body $p$-wave inelastic collisions. Here we develop a simple model of chemical reactions that occur via the formation and decay of molecular complexes. We indeed find that pure two-body molecule losses are unable to explain the observed suppression. Instead we extend our description beyond two-body physics by including effective complex-molecule interactions possible emerging from many-body and effective medium effects at finite densities and in the presence of trapping light. %Under this framework we observe that additional complex-molecule collisions, which manifest as a net three-body molecular interaction could give rise to the additional suppression. Although our effective model is able to quantitatively reproduce recent experimental observations, a detailed understanding of the actual physical mechanism responsible for these higher-order interaction processes is still pending.

The ground-state properties of the Hubbard chain with on-site repulsion and anisotropic nearest-neighbor attraction are investigated by means of density matrix renormalization group calculations. The non-local attraction acts between fermions of one spin component only, mimicking the effect of p-wave Feshbach resonances in cold-atom systems. We analyze the onset of itinerant ferromagnetism, pinpointing the critical attraction strength where partially and fully ferromagnetic states occur. In the cold-atom setup, where the two (pseudo) spin populations are separately conserved, ferromagnetism occurs with the nucleation of a fully imbalanced band-insulating domain hosting the attractive component only. The size of this domain grows with the attraction strength, therefore increasing the (opposite) imbalance of the other domain, until the two spin components are fully separated. In the presence of a harmonic trap, the ferromagnetic state hosts a partially imbalanced domain in the center with an excess of the attractive component and filling lower than one. This central region is surrounded by fully imbalanced domains, located in the trap tails, hosting only fermions belonging to the other component.

We study the quantum ground state of ultracold bosons in a two-dimensional square lattice. The bosons interact via the repulsive dipolar interactions and s-wave scattering. The dynamics is described by the extended Bose-Hubbard model including correlated hopping due to the dipolar interactions, the coefficients are found from the second quantized Hamiltonian using the Wannier expansion with realistic parameters. We determine the phase diagram using the Gutzwiller ansatz in the regime where the coefficients of the correlated hopping terms are negative and can interfere with the tunneling due to single-particle effects. We show that this interference gives rise to staggered superfluid and supersolid phases at vanishing kinetic energy, while we identify parameter regions at finite kinetic energy where the phases are incompressible. We compare the results with the phase diagram obtained with the cluster Gutzwiller approach and with the results found in one dimension using DMRG.

A one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate may experience nonlinear periodic modulations known as ``cnoidal waves''. We argue that such structures represent promising candidates for the study of supersolidity-related phenomena in a non-equilibrium state. A mean-field treatment makes it possible to rederive Leggett's formula for the superfluid fraction of the system and to estimate it analytically. We determine the excitation spectrum, for which we obtain analytical results in the two opposite limiting cases of (i) a linearly modulated background and (ii) a train of dark solitons. The presence of two Goldstone (gapless) modes -- associated with the spontaneous breaking of $mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetry and of continuous translational invariance -- at large wavelength is verified. We also calculate the static structure factor and the compressibility of cnoidal waves, which show a divergent behavior at the edges of each Brillouin zone.

We also calculate the static structure factor and the compressibility of cnoidal waves, which show a divergent behavior at the edges of each Brillouin zone.","PeriodicalId":8838,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Quantum Gases","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84372331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
