We consider the problem of a charged impurity exerting a weak, slowly decaying force on its surroundings, treating the latter as an ideal compressible fluid. In the semiclassical approximation, the ion is described by the Newton equation…
Numerical results for the polaron dispersion are presented for an arbitrary number of space dimensions. Upper and lower bounds are calculated for the dispersion curves. They are rather close to each other in the cases of small…
We introduce the first bold diagrammatic Monte Carlo approach to deal with polaron problems at finite density non-perturbatively, i.e., by including vertex corrections to high orders. Using Holstein model on a square lattice as a…
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…
In this paper we study an impurity in Bose-Einstein-Condensate system at $T=0K$ and suppose the contact forms for boson-boson and boson-impurity interactions. Using Bogoliubov theory and a further approximation corresponding to only think…
We study spatial optical solitons in a one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal created by an array of thin-film nonlinear waveguides, the so-called Dirac-comb nonlinear lattice. We analyze modulational instability of the extended…

Diffusion Monte Carlo is one of the most accurate scalable many-body methods for solid state systems. However, to date, spin-orbit interactions have not been incorporated into these calcualtions at a first-principles level; only having been…

Isotope effects (IEs) are powerful tool to probe directly the dependence of many physical properties on the lattice dynamics. In this paper we invenstigate the onset of anomalous IEs in the spinless Holstein model by employing the dynamical…
In this paper the polaron problem for the Holstein model is studied in the weak coupling limit. We use second order perturbation theory to construct renormalized electron and phonons. Eigenstates of the Hamiltonian are labelled and the…
Fr\"{o}hlich's polaron Hamiltonian describes an electron coupled to the quantized phonon field of an ionic crystal. We show that in the strong coupling limit the dynamics of the polaron is approximated by an effective non-linear partial…
The long standing mystery of smallness of diffractive dissociation of hadrons to large effective masses (the Pomeron-proton cross section is only 2 mb) witnesses that the gluonic clouds of valence quarks are so small (r_0=0.3fm) that soft…
It is remarkable how the Froehlich polaron, one of the simplest examples of a Quantum Field Theoretical problem, as it basically consists of a single fermion interacting with a scalar Bose field of ion displacements, has resisted full…
We consider a Froehlich-type Hamiltonian on a hexagonal lattice. Aiming to describe nanotubes, we choose this 2-dimensional lattice to be periodic and to have a large extension in one (x) direction and a small extension in the other (y)…

Bloch oscillations, the oscillatory motion of a quantum particle in a periodic potential, are one of the most fascinating effects of coherent quantum transport. Originally studied in the context of electrons in crystals, Bloch oscillations…
