studies of polarons in a BEC exist (see for example [26 29]), no experimental observation has yet been achieved, although neutral impurities in ultracold bosonic baths have been realized [30 33]. We will focus on e ects of multiple bands, tilted lattices and interactions between impurities. We treat the BEC within the Bogoliubov approximation, and extend the non-perturbative LangFirsov transformation [27] to a system with two (impurity) bands, which yields an e ective Polaron Hamiltonian including coherent hopping and longer-range interactions Phonon and Polaron physics Hp i,j Next: J a i a j i, a i a i s! s bs bs i,j, Vi,j ni nj where a and b denote Cs atoms and Bogoliubov phonons, i, j are lattice site indices and labels the Bloch bands.

One focus will be on polaronic Bloch oscillations in an accelerated lattice, which can be monitored detection ofand polaron by RFdepends spectroscopy in situ whose frequency on the strongly enhanced e ective mass of the polaron. While singleband polaronic Bloch oscillations have been studied Figure 5: Cs impurity in a Rb BEC. Due to many-polaron phases before [27, 29], little is known about the e ect of a an optical lattice, multiple Bloch bands of the second impurity Bloch into which single atoms impurity arise. relaxation dynamics ofband, supersonic can be excited in a controlled fashion. We will investigate damped Bloch oscillations and Landauimpurity in tunneling, BEC and calculate the drift velocity of the polarons and the resulting current-voltage Zener characteristics. After controlled preparation of an impurity in the excited band, we will calculate the interband relaxation rate and the decoherence time that have already been measured in a di erent setup with 6 Li in 23 Na [34], and the resulting non-equilibrium steady state which results when the interband drive (induced e.g. by microwaves) is continuous. In addition, the RF response of the dilute impurity system will be calculated, as previously for the single-band case [35], and measured in project A12 (Widera), thus allowing for detection of the polaron binding energy and the quasiparticle residue. By combining an accelerated optical lattice with periodic lattice modulation, photon-assisted tunneling resonances will be studied [36], where we expect the polaron mass to be visible. Transregio 49furthermore investigate the case of multiple bosonic impurities, where clustering of polarons We will Frankfurt Kaiserslautern / Mainz [37]/ or long-range ordered polaronic phases are expected. These calculations will be based on bosonic Gutzwiller and R-DMFT, applied to the e ective polaron Hamiltonian (5). The residual dissipative coupling to the phonon bath in the steady state will first be neglected, and later included via 13
