合成磁场作用下光晶格中超冷原子的超流-绝缘体转变

Superfluid-Insulator transition of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice in the presence of a synthetic magnetic field

S. Sinha, K. Sengupta

摘要:

研究了二维正方形光晶格中超冷玻色子原子在p/q(p和q为互质整数)磁通量子通过的合成磁场作用下的莫特绝缘体-超流跃迁.我们发现,从莫特侧过渡的方法,玻色子的动量分布表现出第一磁布里渊区内的q前体峰。我们还提供了一个有效的理论过渡,并表明它涉及q相互作用玻色子场。我们构造,从平均场分析这个有效的理论,超流基态附近的过渡和计算,q= 2,3,有隙和无隙的集体模式,这些国家。我们建议用实验来检验我们的理论。

英文摘要:

We study the Mott insulator-superfluid transition of ultracold bosonic atoms in a two-dimensional square optical lattice in the presence of a synthetic magnetic field with p/q (p and q being co-prime integers) flux quanta passing through each lattice plaquette. We show that on approach to the transition from the Mott side, the momentum distribution of the bosons exhibits q precursor peaks within the first magnetic Brillouin zone. We also provide an effective theory for the transition and show that it involves q interacting boson fields. We construct, from a mean-field analysis of this effective theory, the superfluid ground states near the transition and compute, for q=2,3, both the gapped and the gapless collective modes of these states. We suggest experiments to test our theory.
