Physicists studying quantum many-body physics very rarely reach exact solutions or conclusions, particularly in more than one dimension. This is also true for the Fermi polaron problem, describing instances in which the many-body ...
If you could immerse yourself in a quantum fluid, you would hear every event twice, because they support two sound waves with different speeds.
