Transport of strong-coupling polarons in optical lattices

We study the transport of ultracold impurity atoms immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and trapped in a tight optical lattice. Within the strong-coupling regime, we derive an extended Hubbard model describing the dynamics of the impurities in terms of polarons, i.e. impurities dressed by a...
