Keeping the full quantum nature of the problem we compute the relaxation time of the Holstein polaron after it was driven far from the equilibrium by a strong oscillatory pulse. Just after the pulse the polaron's kinetic energy increases…

The Holstein Hamiltonian describes itinerant electrons whose site density couples to local phonon degrees of freedom. In the single site limit, at half-filling, the electron-phonon coupling results in a double well structure for the lattice…
