Polarons in atomic gases and two-dimensional semiconductors
This review unifies studies of polarons—quasiparticles formed by impurities interacting with quantum many-body systems—across ultracold atomic gases and two-dimensional semiconductors (TMDs). It compares fermionic and bosonic environments, detailing how interactions like long-range forces shape polaron behavior. The work shows that understanding these quasiparticles offers fundamental insights into the phase diagrams of complex condensed matter systems.
