It focuses on the problem of the coupling of an impurity to a surrounding quantum bath, which can be described as a quasi-particle known as polaron. The large mass imbalance between the impurity (Cs) and the bath (Li) leads to unique many-body phenomena, but also poses significant experimental challenges for mixing the two species at ultracold temperature where Li is quantum degenerate. In this work, we realize a mixture of a degenerate Li Fermi Sea and a dilute thermal Cs gas by adopting a bichromatic trapping approach and implementing a tightly confining and movable single beam trap for Li at the Cs tune-out wavelength. This allows the sequential preparation of the Li Fermi Sea, which can be overlapped with Cs atoms in a controlled manner, compensating for the differential gravitational sag between the two species. To probe the Fermi-polaron scenario, an optical spectroscopic method based on two-photon Raman transitions between the two lowest Zeeman states of Cs is implemented. Guided by theoretical predictions of the polaron spectral function, ejection spectroscopy on Cs impurities is performed to map the polaron energy spectrum as a function of interaction strength near a Li-Cs Feshbach resonance at 890 G, which provides high tunability of the interspecies interactions. Limitations to this kind of experiments and strategies to overcome them are discussed, laying the groundwork for exploring polaron physics with heavy mass impurities.},

An octupole radio-frequency trap is used for trapping anions, and a dark spontaneous-force optical trap is employed to create ultracold rubidium (Rb) atoms. Spatial density distributions of the ion and atom clouds are determined via photodetachment tomography and saturation absorption imaging, respectively. A method to map the ions’ translational temperature onto their time of flight to the detector is presented. This technique is applied to determine the temperature of OH−anions as they undergo laser-induced forced evaporative cooling to temperatures below 4 K. The dynamics of associative electronic detachment reaction between closed-shell anions OH−and alkali atoms are investigated where for a ground-state Rb the influence of a dipole-bound state as a reaction intermediate is observed. The interaction dynamics of Rb with OH−(H2O) are also explored, where a smaller atom-to-ion mass ratio favors sympathetic cooling via elastic collisions. For atomic O−, the detachment processes involving ground-state Rb are found to be closed and efficient anion sympathetic cooling, via ultracold Rb, is observed.

abstract = {This thesis presents two anion cooling techniques based on their interaction with photons or ultracold atoms, pushing the frontier of anion cooling beyond state-of-the-art experiments. A hybrid atom-ion trap (HAITrap) is presented, combining an octupole radio frequency (rf) trap and a dark spontaneous-force optical trap for rubidium. The anions and atoms are probed via photodetachment tomography, time-of-flight thermometry and saturation absorption imaging, respectively. The anion photodetachment via a focused far-threshold laser beam removes anions selectively by their energy. This thesis reports forced evaporative cooling of OH− via dynamically moving the beam, below 4 Kelvin in 2 seconds. A derived thermodynamic model describes the evolution of anion temperature and number, including the importance of ion-ion thermalization and resulting rf-heating in such traps. It shows experimental and theoretical framework to prepare any anionic specie in a vast energy range. This thesis also reports the sympathetic cooling and the collision dynamics of anions with ultracold rubidium in a HAITrap. The cooling is experimentally demonstrated to 30(2) Kelvin for O− and 135(8) Kelvin for OH−. The different cooling behavior is explained by their dissimilar loss channels, which are identified and quantified. These limitations can be overcome in future experiments, providing a tool to cool anions translationally and internally.},

abstract = {In this thesis I present experimental and theoretical results showing that an ultracold gas under laser excitation to Rydberg states offers a controllable platform for studying the interesting complex dynamics that can emerge in driven-dissipative systems. The findings can be summarized according to the following three main insights: (i) The discovery of self-organized criticality (SOC) in our Rydberg system under facilitated excitation via three signatures: self-organization of the density to a stationary state; scale invariant behavior; and a critical response in terms of power-law distributed excitation avalanches. Additionally, we explore a mechanism inherent to our system which stabilizes the SOC state. We further investigate this stabilization via a controlled, variable driving of the system. These analyses can help answer the question of why scale invariant behavior is so prevalent in nature. (ii) A striking connection between the power-law growth of the Rydberg excitation number and epidemic spreading is found. Based on this, an epidemic network model is devised which efficiently describes the collective excitation dynamics. The importance of heterogeneity in the emergent Rydberg network and associated Griffiths effects provide a way to explain the observation of non-universal power laws. (iii) A novel quantum cellular automata implementation is proposed using atomic arrays together with multifrequency laser fields.
