Nonlinear behavior of bosons in anisotropic optical lattices

Abstract

We investigate the behavior of an array of Bose-Einstein condensate tubes described by means of a Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. Using an anisotropic non-polynomial Schrodinger equation we link the macroscopic parameters in the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian to the ones that are tunable in experiments. Using a mean field approach we predict that increasing the optical lattice strength along the direction of the tubes, the condensate can experience a reentrant transition between a Mott insulating phase and the superfluid one.

Re-entrant transition of bosons in a quasiperiodic potential

Alberto Cetoli, Emil Lundh

We investigate the behavior of a two-dimensional array of Bose-Einstein condensate tubes described by means of a Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. Using a Wannier function expansion for the wave function in each tube, we compute the Bose-Hubbard parameters related to two different longitudinal potentials, periodic and quasiperiodic. We predict that —upon increasing the external potential strength along the direction of the tubes— the system can experience a re-entrant transition between a Mott insulating phase and the superfluid one.

Interacting Bose gases in quasi-one-dimensional optical lattices

Miguel A. Cazalilla, A F Ho, Thierry Giamarchi

We study a two-dimensional (2D) array of coupled 1D tubes of interacting bosons. Such systems can be produced by loading ultracold atoms in anisotropic optical lattices. We investigate the effects of coupling the tubes via hopping of the bosons (i.e. Josephson coupling). In the absence of a periodic potential along the tubes, or when such potential is incommensurate with the boson density, the system undergoes a transition from an array of incoherent Tomonaga–Luttinger liquids at high temperature to an anisotropic Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), at low temperature. We determine the transition temperature and long wavelength excitations of the BEC. In addition to the usual gapless (Goldstone) mode found in standard superfluids, we also find a gapped mode associated with fluctuations of the amplitude of the order parameter. When a commensurate periodic potential is applied along the tubes, they can become 1D Mott insulators. Intertube hopping leads to a deconfinement quantum phase transition between the 1D Mott insulators and the anisotropic BEC. We also take into account the finite size of the gas tubes as realized in actual experiments. We map out the phase diagram of the quasi-1D lattice and compare our results with the existing experiments on such systems.

Mott-Hubbard transition of bosons in optical lattices with three-body interactions

Bo-Lun Chen, Xiaobin Huang, Su-Peng Kou +1 more

In this paper, the quantum phase transition between the superfluid state and the Mott-insulator state is studied based on an extended Bose-Hubbard model with two- and three-body on-site interactions. By employing the mean-field approximation we find the extension of the insulating ``lobes'' and the existence of a fixed point in three-dimensional phase space. We investigate the link between experimental parameters and theoretical variables. The possibility to observe our results through some experimental effects in optically trapped Bose-Einstein condensates is also discussed.

Superfluid to Mott-insulator transition in an anisotropic two-dimensional optical lattice

We study the superfluid to Mott-insulator transition of bosons in an optical anizotropic lattice by employing the Bose-Hubbard model living on a two-dimensional lattice with anizotropy parameter κ.The compressible superfluid state and incompressible Mott-insulator (MI) lobes are efficiently described analytically, using the quantum U(1) rotor approach.The ground state phase diagram showing the evolution of the MI lobes is quantified for arbitrary values of κ, corresponding to various kind of lattices: from square, through rectangular to almost one-dimensional.

FINITE TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF OPTICAL LATTICES

Fuxiang Han, Yongmei Zhang

Within a mean-field treatment of the Bose–Hubbard model for an optical lattice, we have derived a self-consistent equation for the order parameter of possible phases in the optical lattice at finite temperatures. From the solutions to the self-consistent equation, we have inferred the temperature dependence of the order parameter and transition temperatures of Mott-insulator and superfluid phases into the normal phase. The condensation fraction in the superfluid phase has been deduced from the one-body density matrix and its temperature dependence has been given. In terms of the normalized correlation function of quasiparticles, strong coherence in the superfluid phase and its loss in Mott-insulator phases are demonstrated.
