We study the quantum dynamics of massive impurities embedded in a strongly interacting two-dimensional atomic gas driven into the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) regime under the effect of a synthetic magnetic field. For suitable values of the atom-impurity interaction strength, each impurity can capture one or more quasi-hole excitations of the FQH liquid, forming a bound molecular state with novel physical properties. An effective Hamiltonian for such molecules is derived within the Born… Expand

Observation of Attractive and Repulsive Polarons in a Bose-Einstein Condensate.
Radio frequency spectroscopy of ultracold bosonic ^{39}K atoms is used to experimentally demonstrate the existence of a well-defined quasiparticle state of an impurity interacting with a BEC, and finds excellent agreement with theories that incorporate three-body correlations, both in the weak-coupling limits and across unitarity.
