Dark Continuum in the Spectral Function of the Resonant Fermi Polaron

Quantum Gases 2016-11-30 v3

Abstract

We present controlled numerical results for the ground state spectral function of the resonant Fermi polaron in three dimensions. We establish the existence of a "dark continuum"---a region of anomalously low spectral weight between the narrow polaron peak and the rest of the spectral continuum. The dark continuum develops when the s-wave scattering length is of the order of the inverse Fermi wavevector, a1/kFa\lesssim 1/k_{\rm F}, i.e. in the absence of a small interaction-related parameter when the spectral weight is not expected to feature a near-perfect gap structure after the polaron peak.
