  text: In this Thesis, I study composite quantum impurities with variational techniques,
    both inspired by machine learning as well as fully analytic. I supplement this
    with exploration of other applications of machine learning, in particular artificial
    neural networks, in many-body physics. In Chapters 3 and 4, I study quasiparticle
    systems with variational approach. I derive a Hamiltonian describing the angulon
    quasiparticle in the presence of a magnetic field. I apply analytic variational
    treatment to this Hamiltonian. Then, I introduce a variational approach for non-additive
    systems, based on artificial neural networks. I exemplify this approach on the
    example of the polaron quasiparticle (Fröhlich Hamiltonian). In Chapter 5, I continue
    using artificial neural networks, albeit in a different setting. I apply artificial
    neural networks to detect phases from snapshots of two types physical systems.
    Namely, I study Monte Carlo snapshots of multilayer classical spin models as well
    as molecular dynamics maps of colloidal systems. The main type of networks that
    I use here are convolutional neural networks, known for their applicability to
    image data.

  text: "The oft-quoted dictum by Arthur Schawlow: ``A diatomic molecule has one atom
    too many'' has been disavowed. Inspired by the possibility to experimentally manipulate
    and enhance chemical reactivity in helium nanodroplets, we investigate the rotation
    of coupled cold molecules in the presence of a many-body environment.\r\nIn this
    thesis, we introduce new variational approaches to quantum impurities and apply
    them to the Fröhlich polaron - a quasiparticle formed out of an electron (or other
    point-like impurity) in a polar medium, and to the angulon - a quasiparticle formed
    out of a rotating molecule in a bosonic bath.\r\nWith this theoretical toolbox,
    we reveal the self-localization transition for the angulon quasiparticle. We show
    that, unlike for polarons, self-localization of angulons occurs at finite impurity-bath
    coupling already at the mean-field level. The transition is accompanied by the
    spherical-symmetry breaking of the angulon ground state and a discontinuity in
    the first derivative of the ground-state energy. Moreover, the type of symmetry
    breaking is dictated by the symmetry of the microscopic impurity-bath interaction,
    which leads to a number of distinct self-localized states. \r\nFor the system
    containing multiple impurities, by analogy with the bipolaron, we introduce the
    biangulon quasiparticle describing two rotating molecules that align with respect
    to each other due to the effective attractive interaction mediated by the excitations
    of the bath. We study this system from the strong-coupling regime to the weak
    molecule-bath interaction regime. We show that the molecules tend to have a strong
    alignment in the ground state, the biangulon shows shifted angulon instabilities
    and an additional spectral instability, where resonant angular momentum transfer
    between the molecules and the bath takes place. Finally, we introduce a diagonalization
    scheme that allows us to describe the transition from two separated angulons to
    a biangulon as a function of the distance between the two molecules."

  text: "Within the scope of this thesis,  we show that a driven-dissipative system
    with\r\nfew ultracold atoms can exhibit dissipatively bound states, even if the
    atom-atom\r\ninteraction is purely repulsive.  This bond arises due to the dipole-dipole
    inter-\r\naction, which is restricted to one of the lower electronic energy states,
    resulting\r\nin the distance-dependent coherent population trapping.  The quality
    of this al-\r\nready established method of dissipative binding is improved and
    the application\r\nis extended to higher dimensions and a larger number of atoms.
    \ Here, we simu-\r\nlate two- and three-atom systems using an adapted approach
    to the Monte Carlo\r\nwave-function  method  and  analyse  the  results.   Finally,
    \ we  examine  the  possi-\r\nbility  of  finding  a  setting  allowing  trimer
    \ states  but  prohibiting  dimer  states.\r\nIn the context of open quantum systems,
    such a three-body bound states corre-\r\nsponds to the driven-dissipative analogue
    of a Borromean state.  These states can\r\nbe detected in modern experiments with
    dipolar and Rydberg-dressed ultracold\r\natomic gases.\r\n"
