We analyze the properties of impurities immersed in a vortex lattice formed by ultracold
bosons in the mean field quantum Hall regime. In addition to the effects of a periodic lattice
potential, the impurity is dressed by collective modes with parabolic dispersion (Tkachenko
modes). We derive the effective polaron model, which contains a marginal impurity-phonon
interaction. The polaron spectral function exhibits a Lorentzian broadening for arbitrarily
small wave vectors even at zero temperature, in contrast with the result for optical or acoustic …
We analyze the properties of impurities immersed in a vortex lattice formed by ultracold bosons in the mean field quantum Hall regime. In addition to the effects of a periodic lattice potential, the impurity is dressed by collective modes with parabolic dispersion (Tkachenko modes). We derive the effective polaron model, which contains a marginal impurity-phonon interaction. The polaron spectral function exhibits a Lorentzian broadening for arbitrarily small wave vectors even at zero temperature, in contrast with the result for optical or acoustic phonons. The anomalous damping of Tkachenko polarons could be detected experimentally using momentum-resolved spectroscopy.
