Abstract:
In this talk, I will first discuss the real-time Ramsey response of heavy quantum
impurities immersed in a Fermi gas at zero and at finite temperature. Then I will introduce
an ultracold atom setup, analogous to a spintronics device, which generates spin transport
induced by an impurity atom immersed in a spin-imbalanced two-component Fermi gas. By
manipulating the internal spin degrees of freedom of the Fermi system, one can directly
investigate the full counting statistics of spin flips. Moreover, since the impurity interacts
with a many-body environment that is out of equilibrium, our setup provides a way to
realize the non-equilibrium orthogonality catastrophe. For the impurity response at late
time, we are able to derive analytical expressions, which reveal an intimate connection of
the decay rate of the Ramsey contrast and the full counting statistics of spin flips. Our study
paves a way for controlling and harnessing fermionic many-body states in atomtronics.
