We investigate the problem of an infinitely heavy impurity interacting with a dilute Bose gas at zero temperature. When the impurity-boson interactions are short-ranged, we show that boson-boson interactions induce a quantum blockade effect, where a single boson can effectively block or screen the impurity potential. Since this behavior depends on the quantum granular nature of the Bose gas, it cannot be captured within a standard classical-field description. Using a combination of exact…

It is shown that a dynamical impurity-boson interaction, mediated by a closed-channel dimer, can induce an effective boson-bosons repulsion which strongly modifies the bound states consisting of the impurity and N bosons, resulting in two universal "multibody" resonances.
