Here we show that even in a comparatively simple setup consisting of a charged impurity in a weakly interacting bosonic medium the competition of length scales gives rise to a highly correlated mesoscopic state. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we unravel its vastly different polaronic properties compared to neutral quantum impurities. Moreover, we identify a transition between the regime amenable to conventional perturbative treatment in the limit of weak atom-ion interactions and a many-body bound state with vanishing quasi-particle residue composed of hundreds of atoms. In order to analyze the structure of the corresponding states, we examine the atom-ion and atom-atom correlation functions which both show nontrivial properties. Our findings are directly relevant to experiments using hybrid atom-ion setups that have recently attained the ultracold regime.}, cin = {PGI-8}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-8-20190808}, pnm = {2124 - Advanced research methodologies for tomorrow (POF4-212) / 5221 - Advanced Solid-State Qubits and Qubit Systems (POF4-522)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2124 / G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5221}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000649372600001}, doi = {10.1038/s42005-021-00597-1}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/904590}, }
