Abstract
We Investigate The Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics Of One And Two Heavy Fermionic Impurities Being Harmonically Trapped And Repulsively Interacting With A Finite Ensemble Of Majority Fermions. A Quench Of The Potential Of The Majority Species From A Double-Well To A Harmonic Trap Is Applied, Enforcing Its Counterflow, Which In Turn Perturbs The Impurities. For Weak Repulsions, It Is Shown That The Mixture Undergoes A Periodic Mixing And Demixing Dynamics, While Stronger Interactions Lead To A More Pronounced Dynamical Spatial Separation. In The Presence Of Correlations, The Impurity Exhibits An Expansion Dynamics Which Is Absent In The Hartree-Fock Case, Resulting In An Enhanced Degree Of Miscibility. We Generalize Our Results To Different Impurity Masses And Demonstrate That The Expansion Amplitude Of The Impurity Reduces For A Larger Mass. Furthermore, We Showcase That The Majority Species Is Strongly Correlated And A Phase Separation Occurs On The Two-Body Level. Most Importantly, Signatures Of Attractive Impurity-Impurity Induced Interactions Mediated By The Majority Species Are Identified In The Time Evolution Of The Two-Body Correlations Of The Impurities, A Result That Is Supported By Inspecting Their Spatial Size.
