Abstract

We use Gaudin's Fermi-Bose mapping operator to calculate exact solutions for the Lieb-Liniger model in a linear (constant-force) potential (the constructed exact stationary solutions are referred to as the Lieb-Liniger-Airy wave functions). The ground-state properties of the gas in the wedgelike trapping potential are calculated in the strongly interacting regime by using Girardeau's Fermi-Bose mapping and the pseudopotential approach in the $1/c$ approximation ($c$ denotes the strength of the interaction). We point out that quantum dynamics of Lieb-Liniger wave packets in the linear potential can be calculated by employing an $N$-dimensional Fourier transform as in the case of free expansion.

Free expansion of a Lieb-Liniger gas: Asymptotic form of the wave functions

Dario Jukić, Robert Pezer, Thomas Gasenzer +1 more

The asymptotic form of the wave functions describing a freely expanding Lieb-Liniger gas is derived by using a Fermi-Bose transformation for time-dependent states, and the stationary phase approximation. We find that asymptotically the wave functions approach the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) structure as they vanish when any two of the particle coordinates coincide. We point out that the properties of these asymptotic states can significantly differ from the properties of a TG gas in a ground state of an external potential. The dependence of the asymptotic wave function on the initial state is discussed. The analysis encompasses a large class of initial conditions, including the ground states of a Lieb-Liniger gas in physically realistic external potentials. It is also demonstrated that the interaction energy asymptotically decays as a universal power law with time, ${E}_{\mathrm{int}}\ensuremath{\propto}{t}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$.

Fermi-Bose Transformation for the Time-Dependent Lieb-Liniger Gas

Hrvoje Buljan, Robert Pezer, Thomas Gasenzer

Exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation describing a freely expanding Lieb-Liniger gas of delta-interacting bosons in one spatial dimension are constructed. We demonstrate that for any interaction strength the system enters a strongly correlated regime during such expansion. The asymptotic form of the wave function is shown to have the form characteristic for "impenetrable-core" bosons. Exact solutions are obtained by transforming a fully antisymmetric (fermionic) time-dependent wave function that obeys the Schrödinger equation for a free gas. This transformation employs a differential Fermi-Bose mapping operator that depends on the strength of the interaction and the number of particles.

Momentum distribution of a freely expanding Lieb-Liniger gas

Dario Jukić, Bruno Klajn, Hrvoje Buljan

We numerically study free expansion of a few Lieb-Liniger bosons, which are initially in the ground state of an infinitely deep hard-wall trap. Numerical calculation is carried out by employing a standard Fourier transform, as follows from the Fermi-Bose transformation for a time-dependent Lieb-Liniger gas. We study the evolution of the momentum distribution, the real-space single-particle density, and the occupancies of natural orbitals. Our numerical calculation allows us to explore the behavior of these observables in the transient regime of the expansion, where they are nontrivially affected by the particle interactions. We derive analytically (by using the stationary phase approximation) the formula which connects the asymptotic shape of the momentum distribution and the initial state. For sufficiently large times, the momentum distribution coincides (up to a simple scaling transformation) with the shape of the real-space single-particle density (the expansion is asymptotically ballistic). Our analytical and numerical results are in good agreement.

Single-particle density matrix for a time-dependent strongly interacting one-dimensional Bose gas

Robert Pezer, Thomas Gasenzer, Hrvoje Buljan

We derive a $1/c$ expansion for the single-particle density matrix of a strongly interacting time-dependent one-dimensional Bose gas, described by the Lieb-Liniger model ($c$ denotes the strength of the interaction). The formalism is derived by expanding Gaudin's Fermi-Bose mapping operator up to $1/c$ terms. We derive an efficient numerical algorithm for calculating the density matrix for time-dependent states in the strong coupling limit, which evolve from a family of initial conditions in the absence of an external potential. We have applied the formalism to study contraction dynamics of a localized wave packet upon which a parabolic phase is imprinted initially.

Fermi-Bose mapping for one-dimensional Bose gases

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov, Marvin D. Girardeau

One-dimensional Bose gases are considered, interacting either through the hard-core potentials or through the contact delta potentials. Interest in these gases gained momentum because of the recent experimental realization of quasi-one-dimensional Bose gases in traps with tightly confined radial motion, achieving the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) regime of strongly interacting atoms. For such gases the Fermi-Bose mapping of wavefunctions is applicable. The aim of the present communication is to give a brief survey of the problem and to demonstrate the generality of this mapping by emphasizing that: (i) It is valid for nonequilibrium wavefunctions, described by the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, not merely for stationary wavefunctions. (ii) It gives the whole spectrum of all excited states, not merely the ground state. (iii) It applies to the Lieb-Liniger gas with the contact interaction, not merely to the TG gas of impenetrable bosons.

Dynamical density-density correlations in the one-dimensional Bose gas

Jean-Sébastien Caux, Pasquale Calabrese

The zero-temperature dynamical structure factor of the one-dimensional Bose gas with delta-function interaction (Lieb-Liniger model) is computed as a function of momentum and frequency using a hybrid theoretical/numerical method based on the exact Bethe-ansatz solution. This allows one to interpolate continuously between the weakly coupled Thomas-Fermi and strongly coupled Tonks-Girardeau regimes. The results should be experimentally accessible with Bragg spectroscopy.
