We numerically study the real-time dynamics of a single hole created in the $t-J$ model on a square lattice. Initially, the hole spreads ballistically with a velocity proportional to the hopping matrix element. At intermediate to long…

Exact diagonalization calculations show a continuous transition from delocalized to small polaron behavior as a function of intersite electron-lattice coupling. A transition, found previously at Hartree-Fock level [Yonemitsu et al., Phys.…

The vibronic mixing by an odd-parity vibrational mode of two opposite-parity nearly-degenerate electronic states at a molecular site may drive the small polaron off-center. An associated electric dipole may occur due to broken inversion…

Multidimensional spectroscopy is becoming an increasingly popular tool and there is an ongoing effort to access electronic transitions and many-body dynamics in correlated materials. We apply the protocol recently proposed by Wang to…

When an electron interacts with phonons, the electron can exhibit either free electron-like or polaron-like properties. The latter tends to occur for very strong coupling, and results in a phonon cloud accompanying the electron as it moves,…

Polaritons are quasiparticles arising from the strong coupling of electromagnetic waves in cavities and dipolar oscillations in a material medium. In this framework, localized surface plasmon in metallic nanoparticles defining optical…

We report spectroscopic observation of Rydberg polarons in an atomic Bose gas. Polarons are created by excitation of Rydberg atoms as impurities in a strontium Bose-Einstein condensate. They are distinguished from previously studied…

The Bose polaron has attracted theoretical and experimental interest because the mobile impurity is surrounded by a bath that undergoes a superfluid-to-normal phase transition. Although many theoretical works have studied this system in its…

A criterion, proposed by the present authors, is used to derive numerical results for the stability of a large bipolaron embedded in a polaron gas. The main conclusion is that an isolated metastable bipolaron can be stabilized by the…
