Abstract

We study the ground state of few bosons with repulsive dipole-dipole interaction in a quasi-one-dimensional harmonic trap by means of the exact diagonalization method. Up to three interaction regimes are found, depending on the strength of the dipolar interaction and the ratio of transverse to axial oscillator lengths: a regime where the dipolar Bose gas resembles a system of weakly $\ensuremath{\delta}$-interacting bosons, a second regime where the bosons are fermionized, and a third regime where the bosons form a Wigner crystal. In the first two regimes, the dipole-dipole potential can be replaced by a $\ensuremath{\delta}$ potential. In the crystalline state, the overlap between the localized wave packets is strongly reduced and all the properties of the boson system equal those of its fermionic counterpart. The transition from the Tonks-Girardeau gas to the solidlike state is accompanied by a rapid increase of the interaction energy and a considerable change of the momentum distribution, which we trace back to the different short-range correlations in the two interaction regimes.

Evolution from a Bose-Einstein condensate to a Tonks-Girardeau gas: An exact diagonalization study

F. Deuretzbacher, Kai Bongs, K. Sengstock +1 more

We study ground state properties of spinless, quasi one-dimensional bosons which are confined in a harmonic trap and interact via repulsive delta-potentials. We use the exact diagonalization method to analyze the pair correlation function, as well as the density, the momentum distribution, different contributions to the energy and the population of single-particle orbitals in the whole interaction regime. In particular, we are able to trace the fascinating transition from bosonic to fermi-like behavior in characteristic features of the momentum distribution which is accessible to experiments. Our calculations yield quantitative measures for the interaction strength limiting the mean-field regime on one side and the Tonks-Girardeau regime on the other side of an intermediate regime.

Super-Tonks-Girardeau regime in trapped one-dimensional dipolar gases

G. E. Astrakharchik, Yu. E. Lozovik

Possible signatures are discussed of a super-Tonks-Girardeau gas in bosonic systems of trapped quasi-one-dimensional dipoles at zero temperature. We provide an estimation of the frequency of the lowest compressional mode and compare it to analytical results derived using the harmonic approach in the high-density regime. We construct an exact mapping of the ground-state wave function of a one-dimensional dipolar system of bosons, fermions, and a Bose-Fermi mixture and conclude that the local properties and energy are the same at zero temperature. The question as to what extent the dipolar potential can be treated as long or short range is discussed.

Fermionization of a strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture in a one-dimensional harmonic trap

Bess Fang, Patrizia Vignolo, Christian Miniatura +1 more

We consider a strongly interacting one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Fermi mixture confined in a harmonic trap. It consists of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas (1D Bose gas with repulsive hard-core interactions) and of a noninteracting Fermi gas (1D spin-aligned Fermi gas), both species interacting through hard-core repulsive interactions. Using a generalized Bose-Fermi mapping, we determine the one-body density matrices, exact particle density profiles, momentum distributions, and behavior of the mixture under 1D expansion when opening the trap. In real space, bosons and fermions do not display any phase separation: the respective density profiles extend over the same region and they both present a number of peaks equal to the total number of particles in the trap. In momentum space the bosonic component has the typical narrow TG profile, while the fermionic component shows a broad distribution with fermionic oscillations at small momenta. Due to the large boson-fermion repulsive interactions, both the bosonic and the fermionic momentum distributions decay as $C{p}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ at large momenta, like in the case of a pure bosonic TG gas. The coefficient $C$ is related to the two-body density matrix and to the bosonic concentration in the mixture. When opening the trap, both momentum distributions ``fermionize'' under expansion and turn into that of a Fermi gas with a particle number equal to the total number of particles in the mixture.

Super-Tonks-Girardeau State in an Attractive One-Dimensional Dipolar Gas

Marvin D. Girardeau, G. E. Astrakharchik

The ground state of a one-dimensional (1D) quantum gas of dipoles oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, with a strong 1/x(3) repulsive potential, is studied at low 1D densities n. Near contact the dependence of the many-body wave function on the separation x(jℓ) of two particles reduces to a two-body wave function Ψ(rel)(x(jℓ)). Immediately after a sudden rotation of the dipoles so that they are parallel to the longitudinal axis, this wave function will still be that of the repulsive potential, but since the potential is now that of the attractive potential, it will not be stationary. It is shown that as nd(2)→0 the rate of change of this wave function approaches zero. It follows that for small values of nd(2), this state is metastable and is an analog of the super Tonks-Girardeau state of bosons with a strong zero-range attraction. The dipolar system is equivalent to a spinor Fermi gas with spin z components σ(↑)=[perpendicular] (perpendicular to the longitudinal axis) and σ(↓)=[parallel] (parallel to the longitudinal axis). A Fermi-Fermi mapping from spinor to spinless Fermi gas followed by the standard 1960 Fermi-Bose mapping reduces the Fermi system to a Bose gas. Potential experiments realizing the sudden spin rotation with ultracold dipolar gases are discussed, and a few salient properties of these states are accurately evaluated by a Monte Carlo method.

Density distribution of ground state of one-dimensional Bose gas with dipole interaction

Shuang Hao, Yajiang Hao

Abstract Using the Bose–Fermi mapping method, we obtain the exact ground state wavefunction of one-dimensional (1D) Bose gas with the zero-range dipolar interaction in the strongly repulsive contact interaction limit. Its ground state density distributions for both repulsive and attractive dipole interactions are exhibited. It is shown that in the case of the finite dipole interaction the density profiles do not change obviously with the increase of dipole interaction and display the typical shell structure of Tonks–Girardeau gases. As the repulsive dipole interaction is greatly strong, the density decreases at the center of the trap and displays a sunken valley. As the attractive dipole interaction increases, the density displays more oscillations and sharp peaks appear in the strong attraction limit, which mainly originate from the atoms occupying the low single particle levels.

The granularity of weakly occupied bosonic fields beyond the local density approximation

M. Eckart, R. Walser, W. P. Schleich +2 more

We examine ground state correlations for repulsive, quasi one-dimensional bosons in a harmonic trap. In particular, we focus on the few particle limit N =2, 3, 4, ..., where exact numerical solutions of the many particle Schrödinger equation are available, by employing the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree method. Our numerical results for the inhomogeneous system are modeled with the analytical solution of the homogeneous problem using the Bethe ansatz and the local density approximation. Tuning the interaction strength from the weakly correlated Gross–Pitaevskii to the strongly correlated Tonks–Girardeau regime reveals finite particle number effects in the second-order correlation function beyond the local density approximation.
