In this paper 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. We benchmark these approaches against established theories, evaluating their accuracy as a function of the impurity-bath coupling.","lang":"eng"}],"publisher":"Taylor and Francis","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","isi":1,"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"oa_version":"Published Version","doi":"10.1080/00268976.2019.1567852","ec_funded":1,"publication":"Molecular Physics","publication_identifier":{"issn":["00268976"]},"date_updated":"2023-09-07T13:16:42Z","day":"18","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2019","month":"01","author":[{"full_name":"Li, Xiang","id":"4B7E523C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Li","first_name":"Xiang"},{"last_name":"Bighin","first_name":"Giacomo","id":"4CA96FD4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-8823-9777","full_name":"Bighin, Giacomo"},{"full_name":"Yakaboylu, Enderalp","id":"38CB71F6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Enderalp","last_name":"Yakaboylu","orcid":"0000-0001-5973-0874"},{"full_name":"Lemeshko, Mikhail","orcid":"0000-0002-6990-7802","id":"37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Mikhail","last_name":"Lemeshko"}],"citation":{"short":"X.
