One-dimensional Fermi polaron in a combined harmonic and periodic potential
We study an impurity in a one-dimensional potential consisting of a harmonic part and a periodic part using both the time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) algorithm and a variational ansatz. Attractive and repulsive contact interactions with a sea of fermions are considered. We find excellent agreement between TEBD and variational results …
