    Abstract

    In recent years, alkaline-earth and alkaline-earth-like atoms have attracted much research interest in the field of ultracold atom. Especially, the recently discovered orbital Feshbach resonance makes it possible to investigate a strongly interacting gas of alkaline-earth or alkaline-earth-like atoms, which has greatly enriched the scope of quantum simulation in these systems. This paper focuses on the impurity problem in a Fermi gas of 173Yb atoms near orbital Feshbach resonance. In this problem, the impurity atom in 3P0 state will interact with the background Fermi sea in the ground state and the molecule or polaron state will be produced out of the Fermi sea. By using the Chevy-like ansatz, we investigate the properties of the molecule and attractive polaron states firstly and a transition between these two states will be found. Then, some properties of the repulsive polaron state will be introduced, such as the effective mass and the decay rate. Furthermore, the effect of an additional Fermi sea will be considered in this system. Finally, we will discuss the impurity problem in a two-dimensional system.
