Restoring integrability in one-dimensional quantum gases by two-particle correlations

Abstract

We show that thermalization and the breakdown of integrability in the one-dimensional Lieb-Liniger model caused by local three-body elastic interactions is suppressed by pairwise quantum correlations when approaching the strongly correlated regime. If the relative momentum $k$ is small compared to the two-body coupling constant $c$ the three-particle scattering state is suppressed by a factor of ${(k/c)}^{12}$. This demonstrates that in one-dimensional quantum systems it is not the freeze out of two body collisions but the strong quantum correlations which ensures integrability.

Thermalization in a quasi-one-dimensional ultracold bosonic gas

I. E. Mazets, Jörg Schmiedmayer

We study the collisional processes that can lead to thermalization in one-dimensional (1D) systems. For two-body collisions, excitations of transverse modes are the prerequisite for energy exchange and thermalization. At very low temperatures, excitations of transverse modes are exponentially suppressed, thermalization by two-body collisions stops and the system should become integrable. In quantum mechanics, virtual excitations of higher radial modes are possible. These virtually excited radial modes give rise to effective three-body velocity-changing collisions, which lead to thermalization. We show that these three-body elastic interactions are suppressed by pairwise quantum correlations when approaching the strongly correlated regime. If the relative momentum k is small compared with the two-body coupling constant c , the three-particle scattering state is suppressed by a factor of ( k / c ) 12 , which is proportional to γ −12 , that is, to the square of the three-body correlation function at zero distance in the limit of the Lieb–Liniger parameter γ≫1. This demonstrates that in 1D quantum systems, it is not the freeze-out of two-body collisions but the strong quantum correlations that ensure absence of thermalization on experimentally relevant time scales.

Local correlations in a strongly interacting one-dimensional Bose gas

Dimitri M. Gangardt, Gora V. Shlyapnikov

We develop an analytical method for calculating local correlations in strongly interacting 1D Bose gases, based on the exactly solvable Lieb-Liniger model. The results are obtained at zero and finite temperatures. They describe the interaction-induced reduction of local many-body correlation functions and can be used for achieving and identifying the strong-coupling Tonks-Girardeau regime in experiments with cold Bose gases in the 1D regime.

One-body dynamical correlation function of the Lieb-Liniger model at finite temperature

Song Cheng, Yang-Yang Chen, Xi-Wen Guan +2 more

Building on quantum integrability, the authors address the finite temperature one-body dynamical correlation function of 1D Bose gases using an algorithm grounded in the concept of generalized particle-hole excitations relative to a reference state. The correlation function is analyzed from the momentum-energy plane and its line-shape and momentum distribution are presented, well beyond the applicable regime of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory predictions.

Strong Dissipation Inhibits Losses and Induces Correlations in Cold Molecular Gases

Niels Syassen, D. M. Bauer, Matthias Lettner +6 more

Atomic quantum gases in the strong-correlation regime offer unique possibilities to explore a variety of many-body quantum phenomena. Reaching this regime has usually required both strong elastic and weak inelastic interactions because the latter produce losses. We show that strong inelastic collisions can actually inhibit particle losses and drive a system into a strongly correlated regime. Studying the dynamics of ultracold molecules in an optical lattice confined to one dimension, we show that the particle loss rate is reduced by a factor of 10. Adding a lattice along the one dimension increases the reduction to a factor of 2000. Our results open the possibility to observe exotic quantum many-body phenomena with systems that suffer from strong inelastic collisions.

Exact results for three-body correlations in a degenerate one-dimensional Bose gas

Vadim Cheianov, H. Smith, Mikhail B. Zvonarev

Motivated by recent experiments we derive an exact expression for the correlation function entering the three-body recombination rate for a one-dimensional gas of interacting bosons. The answer, given in terms of two thermodynamic parameters of the Lieb-Liniger model, is valid for all values of the dimensionless coupling $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and contains the previously known results for the Bogoliubov and Tonks-Girardeau regimes as limiting cases. We also investigate finite-size effects by calculating the correlation function for small systems of three, four, five, and six particles.

One-particle dynamical correlations in the one-dimensional Bose gas

Jean-Sébastien Caux, Pasquale Calabrese, Nikita A

Abstract. The momentum- and frequency-dependent one-body correlation function of the one-dimensional interacting Bose gas (Lieb-Liniger model) in the repulsive regime is studied using the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz and numerics. We first provide a determinant representation for the field form factor which is welladapted to numerical evaluation. The correlation function is then reconstructed to high accuracy for systems with finite but large numbers of particles, for a wide range of values of the interaction parameter. Our results are extensively discussed, in particular their specialization to the static case. One-particle dynamical correlations in the one-dimensional Bose gas 2 1.

We show that thermalization and the breakdown of integrability in the one-dimensional Lieb-Liniger model caused by local three-body elastic interactions is suppressed by pairwise quantum correlations when approaching the strongly correlated regime. If the relative momentum kkk is small compared to the two-body coupling constant ccc the three-particle scattering state is suppressed by a factor of (k/c)12{(k/c)}^{12}(k/c)12. This demonstrates that in one-dimensional quantum systems it is not the freeze out of two body collisions but the strong quantum correlations which ensures integrability.
