Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- Researchers report a stable repulsive Bose polaron realised in a two-dimensional quantum gas.
- The impurities and their surrounding quantum medium are encoded in different vibrational states.
- The work is described as realising repulsive polarons in the strongly correlated regime, published in Physical Review (APS, DOI 10.1103/m5qj-j8bm).

## Why it matters

It offers an experimental platform in ultracold atomic gases for studying strongly interacting impurities in a quantum medium, a regime relevant to condensed-matter and few-body physics.
