An impurity immersed in a double Fermi Sea

Abstract

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.
