We consider the quasi-classical limit of Nelson-type regularized polaron models describing a particle interacting with a quantized bosonic field. We break translation-invariance by adding an attractive external potential decaying at…
We use a non-perturbative renormalization group approach to develop a unified picture of the Bose polaron problem, where a mobile impurity is strongly interacting with a surrounding Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). A detailed theoretical…

We study the dynamics of large polarons described by the Froehlich Hamiltonian in the limit of strong coupling. The initial conditions are (perturbations of) product states of an electron wave function and a phonon coherent state, as…
The paper is a reply to the arguments adduced by the authors of Ref. [arXiv:1204.4142] against the results obtained by the author in Refs. [6,7]. It is shown that these arguments are based on the erroneous approach made in Ref.…

We show that the effective mass of the Fr\"ohlich Polaron is bounded below by $c\alpha^{2/5}$ for some constant $c>0$ and for all coupling constants $\alpha$. The proof uses the point process representation of the path measure of the…
The single-polaron band structure of the Holstein model in one and two dimensions is studied using a new form of resummed strong-coupling perturbation theory. Well converged results are obtained for phonon frequencies of the order of the…

We consider the Fr\"ohlich Hamiltonian with large coupling constant $\alpha$. For initial data of Pekar product form with coherent phonon field and with the electron minimizing the corresponding energy, we provide a norm approximation of…
We use the Variational Exact Diagonalization to investigate the single polaron properties for four different dual models, combining a short-range off-diagonal (Peierls) plus a longer-range diagonal (Holstein or breathing-mode) coupling.…
The {\it{Polaron measure}} is defined as the transformed path measure $$\widehat{\mathbb P}_{\epsilon,T}= Z_{\epsilon,T}^{-1}\,\, \exp\bigg\{\frac{1}{2}\int_{-T}^T\int_{-T}^T\frac{\epsilon\e^{-\epsilon|t-s|}}{|\omega(t)-\omega(s)|} \,\d s…
When a mobile impurity interacts with a surrounding bath of bosons, it forms a polaron. Numerous methods have been developed to calculate how the energy and the effective mass of the polaron are renormalized by the medium for equilibrium…
In the study of open quantum systems, the polaron transformation has recently attracted a renewed interest as it offers the possibility to explore the strong system-bath coupling regime. Despite this interest, a clear and unambiguous…
We propose a class of variational Gaussian wavefunctions to describe Fr\"ohlich polarons at finite momenta. Our wavefunctions give polaron energies that are in excellent agreement with the existing Monte Carlo results for a broad range of…
The main quasi-particle characteristics of the one-dimensional polaron are estimated within and beyond the most general Gaussian approximation at arbitrary electron-phonon coupling. We have derived explicitly the ground-state energy and the…
