Structure and Dynamics of Bose Polarons across the Mott-Insulator to Superfluid Transition

A mobile impurity particle immersed in a quantum degenerate gas leads to the formation of a quasiparticle, which can serve as a sensor for its environment. Here, we develop a unified wave function description of an impurity in a two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model across the Mott-insulator to superfluid transition. Usin...
