Universal dynamical phase diagram of lattice spin models and strongly correlated ultracold atoms in optical lattices

Eugene Demler, Andrei Ya Mal'tsev, A. O. Prokofiev

Abstract We study semiclassical dynamics of anisotropic Heisenberg models in two and three dimensions. Such models describe lattice spin systems and hard core bosons in optical lattices. We solve numerically Landau–Lifshitz type equations on a lattice and show that in the phase diagram of magnetization and interaction anisotropy, one can identify several distinct regimes of dynamics. These regions can be distinguished based on the character of one dimensional solitonic excitations, and stability of such solitons to transverse modulation. Small amplitude and long wavelength perturbations can be analyzed analytically using mapping of non-linear hydrodynamic equations to KdV type equations. Numerically we find that properties of solitons and dynamics in general remain similar to our analytical results even for large amplitude and short distance inhomogeneities, which allows us to obtain a universal dynamical phase diagram. As a concrete example we study dynamical evolution of the system starting from a state with magnetization step and show that formation of oscillatory regions and their stability to transverse modulation can be understood from the properties of solitons. In regimes unstable to transverse modulation we observe formation of lump type solutions with modulation in all directions. We discuss implications of our results for experiments with ultracold atoms.

Strong Correlation Effects with Ultracold Bosonic Atoms in Optical Lattices

Immanuel Bloch

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices have proven to be a versatile model system in which strong correlation effects in a many-body quantum system can be studied [1]. The tunability and control over almost all underlying system parameters makes them rather unique and allows one to switch between different ground states of the underlying many-body quantum system. One of the most prominent effects in this respect is the quantum phase transition (QPT) from a superfluid (SF) to a Mott insulator (MI) that started the field of strong-correlation physics with ultracold gases. First theoretically proposed by Fisher et al. [2], the Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) was introduced into the field of ultracold atoms by Jaksch et al. [3], eventually being realized in subsequent experiments [4-7]. This article focuses on giving a brief summary of the main results achieved in the SF-MI transition with ultracold bosons in optical lattices. A brief introduction into the setup of optical lattices is followed by a discussion of key results such as the coherence properties, the density profiles, transport properties and SF characteristics across the QPT.
