Ground-state energy of the interacting Bose gas in two dimensions: An explicit construction

Abstract

The isotropic scattering phase shift is calculated for nonrelativistic bosons interacting at low energies via an arbitrary finite-range potential in $d$ space-time dimensions. Scattering on a $(d\ensuremath{-}1)$-dimensional torus is then considered, and the eigenvalue equation relating the energy levels on the torus to the scattering phase shift is derived. With this technology in hand, and focusing on the case of two spatial dimensions, a perturbative expansion is developed for the ground-state energy of $N$ identical bosons which interact via an arbitrary finite-range potential in a finite area. The leading nonuniversal effects due to range corrections and three-body forces are included. It is then shown that the thermodynamic limit of the ground-state energy in a finite area can be taken in closed form to obtain the energy per particle in the low-density expansion by explicitly summing the parts of the finite-area energy that diverge with powers of $N$. The leading and subleading finite-size corrections to the thermodynamic limit equation of state are also computed. Closed-form results---some well known, others perhaps not---for two-dimensional lattice sums are included in an Appendix.

The Ground State Energy of a Dilute Bose Gas in Dimension n >3

Anders Aaen

We consider a Bose gas in spatial dimension $n>3$ with a repulsive, radially symmetric two-body potential $V$. In the limit of low density $ρ$, the ground state energy per particle in the thermodynamic limit is shown to be $(n-2)|\mathbb S^{n-1}|a^{n-2}ρ$, where $|\mathbb S^{n-1}|$ denotes the surface measure of the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $a$ is the scattering length of $V$. Furthermore, for smooth and compactly supported two-body potentials, we derive upper bounds to the ground state energy with a correction term $(1+Cγ)8π^4a^6ρ^2|\ln(a^4ρ)|$ in dimension $n=4$, where $γ:=\int V(x)|x|^{-2}\, dx$, and a correction term which is $\mathcal{O}(ρ^2)$ in higher dimensions.

Three-body scattering area for particles with infinite or zero scattering length in two dimensions

Junjie Liang, Shina Tan

We derive the asymptotic expansions of the wave function of three particles having equal mass with finite-range interactions and infinite or zero two-dimensional scattering length colliding at zero energy and zero orbital angular momentum, from which a three-body parameter $D$ is defined. The dimension of $D$ is length squared, and we call $D$ three-body scattering area. We find that the ground-state energy per particle of a zero-temperature dilute Bose gas with these interactions is approximately $\frac{{\ensuremath{\hbar}}^{2}D}{6m}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{2}$, where $\ensuremath{\rho}$ is the number density of the bosons and $m$ is the mass of each boson. Such a zero-temperature Bose gas is stable at $D>0$ in the thermodynamic limit, and metastable at $D<0$ in the isotropic harmonic trap if the number of bosons is less than ${N}_{\mathrm{cr}}\ensuremath{\approx}3.6413\sqrt{\frac{\ensuremath{\hbar}}{m\ensuremath{\omega}|D|}\phantom{{}^{1}}}$, where $\ensuremath{\omega}$ is the angular frequency of the harmonic trap. If the two-body interaction supports bound states, $D$ typically acquires a negative imaginary part, and we find the relation between this imaginary part and the amplitudes of the pair-boson production processes. We derive a formula for the three-body recombination rate constant of the many-boson system in terms of the imaginary part of $D$.

Simplified approach to the repulsive Bose gas from low to high densities and its numerical accuracy

Eric A. Carlen, Markus Holzmann, Ian Jauslin +1 more

In 1963, a simplified approach was developed to study the ground-state energy of an interacting Bose gas with a purely repulsive potential. It consists in the derivation of an equation, which is not based on perturbation theory and which gives the exact expansion of the energy at low densities. This equation is expressed directly in the thermodynamic limit and only involves functions of three variables, rather than $3N$. Here, we revisit this approach, introduce two more equations, and show that these yields accurate predictions for various observables for all densities for repulsive potentials with positive Fourier transform. Specifically, in addition to the ground-state energy, we have shown that the simplified approach gives predictions for the condensate fraction, two-point correlation function, and momentum distribution. We have carried out a variety of tests by comparing the predictions of the equations with quantum Monte Carlo calculations for exponential interaction potentials as well as a different, finite range potential of positive type, and have found remarkable agreement. We thus show that the simplified approach provides an alternative theoretical tool to understand the behavior of the many-body Bose gas, not only in the small and large density ranges, which have been studied before, but also in the range of intermediate density, for which much less is known.

The Ground State Energy of a Two-Dimensional Bose Gas

Søren Fournais, Théotime Girardot, Lukas Junge +2 more

We prove the following formula for the ground state energy density of a dilute Bose gas with density $ρ$ in $2$ dimensions in the thermodynamic limit \begin{align*} e^{\rm{2D}}(ρ) = 4πρ^2 Y\left(1 - Y \vert \log Y \vert + \left( 2Γ+ \frac{1}{2} + \log(π) \right) Y \right) + o(ρ^2 Y^{2}). \end{align*} Here $Y= |\log(ρa^2)|^{-1}$ and $a$ is the scattering length of the two-body potential. This result in $2$ dimensions corresponds to the famous Lee-Huang-Yang formula in $3$ dimensions. The proof is valid for essentially all positive potentials with finite scattering length, in particular it covers the crucial case of the hard core potential.

Dilute Bose gas in two dimensions: Density expansions and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Alexander Yu. Cherny, Arkady A Shanenko

A dilute homogeneous two-dimensional (2D) Bose gas at zero temperature is studied with the method developed earlier by the authors. This method allows for considering renormalization of an arbitrary pairwise potential in a self-consistent manner, without the pseudopotential delta-function representation. Low-density expansions are derived for the chemical potential, ground-state energy, pair distribution function, kinetic and interaction energies. The expansion parameter is found to be a dimensionless in-medium scattering amplitude u obeying the equation 1/u+ln u=-ln(na(2)pi)-2gamma, where na(2) and gamma are the gas parameter and the Euler constant, respectively. It is shown that the ground-state energy is mostly kinetic in the low-density limit. This result does not depend on a specific form of the pairwise interaction potential, contrary to the 3D case. A new form of the 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation is proposed within our scheme.

Abstract We prove the following formula for the ground state energy density of a dilute Bose gas with density $$\rho $$ ρ in 2 dimensions in the thermodynamic limit $$\begin{aligned} e^{\text {2D}}(\rho ) = 4\pi \rho ^2 Y\Big (1 - Y \vert \log Y \vert + \Big ( 2\Gamma + \frac{1}{2} + \log (\pi ) \Big ) Y \Big ) + o(\rho ^2 Y^{2}), \end{aligned}$$ e 2D ( ρ ) = 4 π ρ 2 Y ( 1 - Y | log Y | + ( 2 Γ + 1 2 + log ( π ) ) Y ) + o ( ρ 2 Y 2 ) , as $$\rho a^2 \rightarrow 0$$ ρ a 2 → 0 . Here $$Y= |\log (\rho a^2)|^{-1}$$ Y = | log ( ρ a 2 ) | - 1 and a is the scattering length of the two-body potential. This result in 2 dimensions corresponds to the famous Lee–Huang–Yang formula in 3 dimensions. The proof is valid for essentially all positive potentials with finite scattering length, in particular, it covers the crucial case of the hard core potential.

We consider a Bose gas in spatial dimension n>3n>3n>3 with a repulsive, radially symmetric two-body potential VVV. In the limit of low density ρρρ, the ground state energy per particle in the thermodynamic limit is shown to be (n−2)∣Sn−1∣an−2ρ(n-2)|\mathbb S^{n-1}|a^{n-2}ρ(n−2)∣Sn−1∣an−2ρ, where ∣Sn−1∣|\mathbb S^{n-1}|∣Sn−1∣ denotes the surface measure of the unit sphere in Rn\mathbb{R}^nRn and aaa is the scattering length of VVV. Furthermore, for smooth and compactly supported two-body potentials, we derive upper bounds to the ground state energy with a correction term (1+Cγ)8π4a6ρ2∣ln⁡(a4ρ)∣(1+Cγ)8π^4a^6ρ^2|\ln(a^4ρ)|(1+Cγ)8π4a6ρ2∣ln(a4ρ)∣ in dimension n=4n=4n=4, where γ:=∫V(x)∣x∣−2 dxγ:=\int V(x)|x|^{-2}\, dxγ:=∫V(x)∣x∣−2dx, and a correction term which is O(ρ2)\mathcal{O}(ρ^2)O(ρ2) in higher dimensions.

The dimension of DDD is length squared, and we call DDD three-body scattering area. We find that the ground-state energy per particle of a zero-temperature dilute Bose gas with these interactions is approximately $\frac{{\ensuremath{\hbar}}^{2}D}{6m}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{2}$, where $\ensuremath{\rho}$ is the number density of the bosons and mmm is the mass of each boson. Such a zero-temperature Bose gas is stable at D>0D>0D>0 in the thermodynamic limit, and metastable at D<0D<0D<0 in the isotropic harmonic trap if the number of bosons is less than ${N}_{\mathrm{cr}}\ensuremath{\approx}3.6413\sqrt{\frac{\ensuremath{\hbar}}{m\ensuremath{\omega}|D|}\phantom{{}^{1}}}$, where $\ensuremath{\omega}$ is the angular frequency of the harmonic trap.

We prove the following formula for the ground state energy density of a dilute Bose gas with density ρρρ in 222 dimensions in the thermodynamic limit \begin{align*} e^{\rm{2D}}(ρ) = 4πρ^2 Y\left(1 - Y \vert \log Y \vert + \left( 2Γ+ \frac{1}{2} + \log(π) \right) Y \right) + o(ρ^2 Y^{2}). \end{align*} Here Y=∣log⁡(ρa2)∣−1Y= |\log(ρa^2)|^{-1}Y=∣log(ρa2)∣−1 and aaa is the scattering length of the two-body potential. This result in 222 dimensions corresponds to the famous Lee-Huang-Yang formula in 333 dimensions.
