Abstract

We study finite-temperature phase structures of hard-core bosons in a two-dimensional optical lattice subject to an effective magnetic field by employing the gauged CP${}^{1}$ model. Based on the extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we study their phase structures at finite temperatures for several values of the magnetic flux per plaquette of the lattice and mean particle density. Despite the presence of the particle number fluctuation, the thermodynamic properties are qualitatively similar to those of the frustrated $XY$ model, with only the phase as a dynamical variable. This suggests that cold-atom simulators of the frustrated $XY$ model are available irrespective of the particle filling at each site.

Finite-temperature phase diagram of two-component bosons in a cubic optical lattice: Three-dimensional t - J model of hard-core bosons

Yuki Nakano, Takumi Ishima, Naohiro Kobayashi +3 more

We study the three-dimensional bosonic $t$-$J$ model, i.e., the $t$-$J$ model of ``bosonic electrons,'' at finite temperatures. This model describes the $s=\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg spin model with the anisotropic exchange coupling ${J}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}=\ensuremath{\alpha}{J}_{z}$ and doped bosonic holes, which is an effective system of the Bose-Hubbard model with strong repulsions. The bosonic ``electron'' operator ${B}_{r\ensuremath{\sigma}}$ at the site $r$ with a two-component (pseudo)spin $\ensuremath{\sigma}(=1,2)$ is treated as a hard-core boson operator. By means of Monte Carlo simulations, we study its finite-temperature phase structure including the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ dependence, the possible phenomena-like appearance of checkerboard long-range order, supercounterflow, superfluidity, phase separation, etc. The obtained results, which clarify the relation between various phases, may be taken as predictions about experiments of two-component cold bosonic atoms in a cubic optical lattice.

Finite-temperature phase diagram of the three-dimensional hard-core bosonic t - J model

Yuki Nakano, Takumi Ishima, Naohiro Kobayashi +3 more

We study the three-dimensional bosonic $t$-$J$ model, that is, the $t$-$J$ model of ``bosonic electrons'' at finite temperatures. This model describes a system of an isotropic antiferromagnet with doped bosonic holes and is closely related to systems of two-component bosons in an optical lattice. The bosonic ``electron'' operator ${B}_{x\ensuremath{\sigma}}$ at the site $x$ with a two-component spin $\ensuremath{\sigma}(=$$1,2)$ is treated as a hard-core boson operator and represented by a composite of two slave particles: a spinon described by a Schwinger boson (CP${}^{1}$ boson) ${z}_{x\ensuremath{\sigma}}$ and a holon described by a hard-core-boson field ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{x}$ as ${B}_{x\ensuremath{\sigma}}={\ensuremath{\phi}}_{x}^{\ifmmode\dagger\else\textdagger\fi{}}{z}_{x\ensuremath{\sigma}}$. By means of Monte Carlo simulations of this bosonic $t$-$J$ model, we study its phase structure and the possible phenomena like appearance of antiferromagnetic long-range order, Bose-Einstein condensation, phase separation, etc. Obtained results show that the bosonic $t$-$J$ model has a phase diagram that suggests some interesting implications for high-temperature superconducting materials.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of ultracold bosons in optical lattices

Barbara Capogrosso-Sansone

In this dissertation I present results for lattice boson systems based on quantum Monte Carlo simulations by the Worm algorithm. Lattice bosons can be realized by ultracold gases in optical lattices and, under certain conditions, they are described by the Bose-Hubbard model. I will discuss the ground state, i.e. the phase diagram and properties of elementary excitations, as well as finite temperature thermodynamic properties of the two- and three-dimensional systems. These results provide bench-marks and guidance for experimentalists. I will also discuss the phase diagram of the one-dimensional hard-core Bose-Hubbard model with three-body interactions. The model is realized by cold polar molecules in optical lattices. The ground state presents a novel solid phase at unconventional filling, characterized by coexisting charge density wave and bond orders. Such phase has not been predicted by the preexisting mean field theory.

Finite-Temperature Phase Diagram of Hard-Core Bosons in Two Dimensions

Guido Schmid, Synge Todo, Matthias Troyer +1 more

We determine the finite-temperature phase diagram of the square lattice hard-core boson Hubbard model with nearest neighbor repulsion using quantum Monte Carlo simulations. This model is equivalent to an anisotropic spin-1/2 XXZ model in a magnetic field. We present the rich phase diagram with a first order transition between a solid and superfluid phase, instead of a previously conjectured supersolid and a tricritical end point to phase separation. Unusual reentrant behavior with ordering upon increasing the temperature is found, similar to the Pomeranchuk effect in 3He.

Dynamical properties of bosons in an optical lattice with a synthetic magnetic field

Kenichi Kasamatsu, Akira Kato, Yuki Nakano +1 more

We study the dynamical properties of bosons in an optical lattice subject to a synthetic magnetic field at zero temperature. First, we consider a superfluid regime where the nearest-neighbor hopping is much larger than the on-site repulsion and a large number of bosons are occupied in each site. Then, the dynamics is well described by the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Second, we study the dynamics of hard-core bosons as a limit of the strong interparticle interaction by solving the truncated Green's functions for the boson and density operators. We discuss the evolution of the density and the vorticity, which are clearly distinct between two regimes.

Frustrated Bose condensates in optical lattices

Tanja Đurić, Derek K. K. Lee

We study the Bose-condensed ground states of bosons in a two-dimensional optical lattice in the presence of frustration due to an effective vector potential, for example, due to lattice rotation. We use a mapping to a large-$S$ frustrated magnet to study quantum fluctuations in the condensed state. Quantum effects are introduced by considering a $1/S$ expansion around the classical ground state. The large-$S$ regime should be relevant to systems with many particles per site. As the system approaches the Mott insulating state, the hole density becomes small. Our large-$S$ results show that, even when the system is very dilute, the holes remain a (partially) condensed system. Moreover, the superfluid density is comparable to the condensate density. In other words, the large-$S$ regime does not display an instability to noncondensed phases. However, for cases with fewer than 1/3 flux quantum per lattice plaquette, we find that the fractional condensate depletion increases as the system approaches the Mott phase, giving rise to the possibility of a noncondensed state before the Mott phase is reached for systems with smaller $S$.
