| Abstract | Spectroscopic and interferometric measurements complement each other in extracting the fundamental prop-erties of quantum many-body systems. While spectroscopy provides precise measurements of equilibrated energies, interferometry can elucidate the dynamical evolution of the system. For an impurity immersed in a bosonic medium, both are equally important for understanding the quasiparticle physics of the Bose polaron. Here, we compare the interferometric and spectroscopic timescales to the underlying dynamical regimes of the impurity dynamics and the polaron lifetime, highlighting the capability of the interferometric approach to clearly resolve polaron dynamics. In particular, interferometric measurements of the coherence amplitude at strong interactions reveal faster quantum dynamics at large repulsive interaction strengths than at unitarity. These obser-vations are in excellent agreement with a short-time theoretical prediction including both the continuum and the attractive polaron branch. For longer times, qualitative agreement with a many-body theoretical prediction which includes both branches is obtained. Moreover, the polaron energy is extracted from interferometric measurements of the observed phase velocity in agreement with previous spectroscopic results from weak to strong attractive interactions. Finally, the phase evolution allows for the measurement of an energetic equilibration timescale, describing the initial approach of the phase velocity to the polaron energy. Theoretically, this is shown to lie within the regime of universal dynamics revealing a fast initial evolution towards the formation of polarons. Our results give a comprehensive picture of the many-body physics governing the Bose polaron and thus validates the quasiparticle framework for further studies. |
