Scaling property of the critical hopping parameters for the Bose-Hubbard model

Quantum phase transitions in the Fermi-Bose Hubbard model

We propose a multi-band Fermi-Bose Hubbard model with on-site fermion-boson conversion and general filling factor in three dimensions. Such a Hamiltonian models an atomic Fermi gas trapped in a lattice potential and subject to a Feshbach resonance. We solve this model in the two state approximation for paired fermions at zero temperature. The problem then maps onto a coupled Heisenberg spin model. In the limit of large positive and negative detuning, the quantum phase transitions in the Bose Hubbard and Paired-Fermi Hubbard models are correctly reproduced. Near resonance, the Mott states are g…

Quench dynamics and non equilibrium phase diagram of the Bose-Hubbard model

We investigate the time evolution of correlations in the Bose-Hubbard model following a quench from the superfluid to the Mott insulating phase. For large values of the final interaction strength the system approaches a distinctly non-equilibrium steady state that bears strong memory of the initial conditions. In contrast, when the final interaction strength is comparable to the hopping, the correlations are rather well approximated by those at thermal equilibrium. The existence of two distinct non-equilibrium regimes is surprising given the non-integrability of the Bose-Hubbard model. We rela…

The one-dimensional Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model in the heavy-fermion limit

We study the phase diagram of the zero-temperature, one-dimensional Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model for fixed fermion density in the limit of small fermionic hopping. This model can be regarded as an instance of a disordered Bose-Hubbard model with dichotomic values of the stochastic variables. Phase boundaries between compressible, incompressible (Mott-insulating) and partially compressible phases are derived analytically within a generalized strong-coupling expansion and numerically using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) methods. We show that first-order correlations in the partially com…

Quantum Phases of the Extended Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian: Possibility of a Supersolid State of Cold Atoms in Optical Lattices

Cold atom optical lattices typically simulate zero-range Hubbard models. We discuss the theoretical possibility of using excited states of optical lattices to generate extended range Hubbard models. We find that bosons confined to higher bands of optical lattices allow for a rich phase diagram, including the supersolid phase. Using Gutzwiller, mean field theory we establish the parameter regime necessary to maintain metastable states generated by an extended Bose-Hubbard model.

One-dimensional extended Bose-Hubbard model with a confining potential: a DMRG analysis

The extended Bose-Hubbard model in a quadratic trap potential is studied using a finite-size density-matrix renormalization group method (DMRG). We compute the boson density profiles, the local compressibility and the hopping correlation functions. We observed the phase separation induced by the trap in all the quantities studied and conclude that the local density approximation is valid in the extended Bose-Hubbard model. From the plateaus obtained in the local compressibility it was possible to obtain the phase diagram of the homogeneous system which is in agreement with previous results.

Accurate determination of the superfluid-insulator transition in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

The quantum phase transition point between the insulator and the superfluid phase at unit filling factor of the infinite one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model is numerically computed with a high accuracy, better than current state of the art calculations. The method uses the infinite system version of the time evolving block decimation algorithm, here tested in a challenging case.

Bose-Einstein condensation processes with nontrivial geometric multiplicites realized via ${\cal PT}-$symmetric and exactly solvable linear-Bose-Hubbard building blocks

It is well known that using the conventional non-Hermitian but ${\cal PT}-$symmetric Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian with real spectrum one can realize the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) process in an exceptional-point limit of order $N$. Such an exactly solvable simulation of the BEC-type phase transition is, unfortunately, incomplete because the standard version of the model only offers an extreme form of the limit characterized by a minimal geometric multiplicity $K=1$. In our paper we describe a rescaled and partitioned direct-sum modification of the linear version of the Bose-Hubbard model whi…

The effects of next to nearest neighbor hopping on Bose-Einstein condensation in cubic lattices

In this paper, we present results of our calculations on the effects of next to nearest neighbor boson hopping ($t^{\prime}$) energy on Bose-Einstein condensation in cubic lattices. We consider both non-interacting and repulsively interacting bosons moving in the lowest Bloch band. The interacting bosons are studied making use of the Bogoliubov method. We find that the bose condensation temperature is enhanced with increasing $t^{\prime}$ for bosons in a simple cubic (sc) lattice and decreases for bosons in body-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) lattices. We also find that int…

Threshold for Chaos and Thermalization in One-Dimensional Mean-Field Bose-Hubbard Model

We study the threshold for chaos and its relation to thermalization in the 1D mean-field Bose-Hubbard model, which in particular describes atoms in optical lattices. We identify the threshold for chaos, which is finite in the thermodynamic limit, and show that it is indeed a precursor of thermalization. Far above the threshold, the state of the system after relaxation is governed by the usual laws of statistical mechanics.

Phonon Bose-Einstein condensation in a Hubbard-phonon interacting system with infrared divergence

We show that a finite Hubbard-phonon interacting system exhibits phonon BEC at sufficiently low temperature. We also have the gauge symmetry breaking for phonons. The key tools are a unitary transformation introduced by Arai and Hirokawa \protect{\cite{AH1}} and the Araki-Woods representation. This system is essentially the same as a free system or the van Hove model.

Complexity in parametric Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians and structural analysis of eigenstates

We consider a family of chaotic Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians (BHH) parameterized by the coupling strength $k$ between neighboring sites. As $k$ increases the eigenstates undergo changes, reflected in the structure of the Local Density of States. We analyze these changes, both numerically and analytically, using perturbative and semiclassical methods. Although our focus is on the quantum trimer, the presented methodology is applicable for the analysis of longer lattices as well.
