Abstract
We investigate the attractive Fermi polaron problem in two dimensions using non-perturbative Monte Carlo simulations. We introduce a new Monte Carlo algorithm called the impurity lattice Monte Carlo method. This algorithm samples the path integral in a computationally efficient manner and has only small sign oscillations for systems with a single impurity. As a benchmark of the method, we calculate the universal polaron energy in three dimensions in the scale-invariant unitarity limit and find agreement with published results. We then present the first fully non-perturbative calculations of the polaron energy in two dimensions and density correlations between the impurity and majority particles in the limit of zero range interactions. We find evidence for a smooth crossover transition from fermionic quasiparticle to molecular state as a function of interaction strength.
