We consider the highly spin-imbalanced limit of a two-component Fermi gas, where there is a small density of $\downarrow$ impurities attractively interacting with a sea of $\uparrow$ fermions. In the single-impurity limit at zero…

In this review, we discuss the properties of a few impurity atoms immersed in a gas of ultracold fermions, the so-called Fermi polaron problem. On one side, this many-body system is appealing because it can be described almost exactly with…

We study the spectrum of an impurity coupled to a Fermi sea (e.g., minority atom in an ultracold gas, exciton in a solid) by attraction strong enough to form a molecule/trion. We introduce a diagrammatic scheme which allows treating a…
