The behavior of charge carriers in polar materials is governed by electron-phonon interactions, which affect their mobilities via phonon scattering and may localize carriers into self-induced deformation fields, forming self-trapped…

Polarons - fermionic charge carriers bearing a strong companion lattice deformation - exhibit a natural tendency for self-localization due to the recursive interaction between electrons and the lattice. While polarons are ubiquitous in…
This paper studies the quantum dynamics of a charged particle in a 2D square lattice, under the influence of electric and magnetic fields, the former being aligned with one of the lattice axes and the latter perpendicular to the lattice…

Polarons can naturally form in materials from the interaction of extra charge carriers with the atomic lattice. Ubiquitous, they are central to various topics and phenomena such as high-T$_c$ superconductivity, electrochromism,…
We present the first numerically exact study of self-trapped, a.k.a. soliton, states of electrons that form in materials with strong quadratic coupling to the phonon coordinates. Previous studies failed to observe predictions based on the…
Tailoring the properties of correlated oxides is accomplished by chemical doping, pressure, temperature or magnetic field. Photoexcitation is a valid alternative to reach out-of-equilibrium states otherwise inaccessible. Here, we…

The vast majority of hadrons observed in nature are not stable under the strong interaction, rather they are resonances whose existence is deduced from enhancements in the energy dependence of scattering amplitudes. The study of hadron…
Quantum vorticity in polariton systems has been traditionally investigated within the frame of many-body phenomena under the mean-field or coherent approaches. In the present work, we show that the fully quantized picture describes richer…
