Strong-coupling expansion for the spin-1 Bose-Hubbard model

Abstract

In this study, we perform a strong-coupling expansion up to third order of the hopping parameter $t$ for the spin-1 Bose-Hubbard model with antiferromagnetic interaction. As expected from previous studies, the Mott-insulator phase is considerably more stable against the superfluid phase when filling with an even number of bosons than when filling with an odd number of bosons. The phase-boundary curves are consistent with the perturbative mean-field theory in the limit of infinite dimensions. The critical value of the hopping parameter ${t}_{\mathrm{C}}$ at the peak of the Mott lobe depends on the antiferromagnetic interaction. This result indicates the reliability of the strong-coupling expansion when ${U}_{2}$ possesses large (intermediate) values for Mott lobe with an even (odd) number of bosons. Moreover, in order to improve our results, we apply a few extrapolation methods up to infinite order in $t$. The fitting results of the phase-boundary curves agree better with those of the perturbative mean-field approximation. In addition, the linear fit error of ${t}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is very small for the strong antiferromagnetic interaction.

Strong-coupling expansion for the Hubbard model in arbitrary dimension using slave bosons

P. J. H. Denteneer

A strong-coupling expansion for the antiferromagnetic phase of the Hubbard model is derived in the framework of the slave-boson mean-field approximation. The expansion can be obtained in terms of moments of the density of states of freely hopping electrons on a lattice, which in turn are obtained for hypercubic lattices in arbitrary dimension. The expansion is given for the case of half-filling and for the energy up to fifth order in the ratio of hopping integral t over on-site interaction U, but can straightforwardly be generalized to the non-half-filled case and be extended to higher orders in t/U. For the energy the expansion is found to have an accuracy of better than 1% for U/t\ensuremath{\ge}8. A comparison is given with an earlier perturbation expansion based on the linear-spin-wave approximation and with a similar expansion based on the Hartree-Fock approximation. The case of an infinite number of spatial dimensions is discussed. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Mott-insulator–to–superfluid transition in the Bose-Hubbard model: A strong-coupling approach

K. Sengupta, N. Dupuis

We present a strong-coupling expansion of the Bose-Hubbard model which describes both the superfluid and the Mott phases of ultracold bosonic atoms in an optical lattice. By performing two successive Hubbard-Stratonovich transformations of the intersite hopping term, we derive an effective action which provides a suitable starting point to study the strong-coupling limit of the Bose-Hubbard model. This action can be analyzed by taking into account Gaussian fluctuations about the mean-field approximation as in the Bogoliubov theory of the weakly interacting Bose gas. In the Mott phase, we reproduce results of previous mean-field theories and also calculate the momentum distribution function. In the superfluid phase, we find a gapless spectrum and compare our results with the Bogoliubov theory.

Strong-coupling expansion for the momentum distribution of the Bose-Hubbard model with benchmarking against exact numerical results

James K. Freericks, H. R. Krishnamurthy, Yasuyuki Kato +2 more

A strong-coupling expansion for the Green's functions, self-energies, and correlation functions of the Bose-Hubbard model is developed. We illustrate the general formalism, which includes all possible (normal-phase) inhomogeneous effects in the formalism, such as disorder or a trap potential, as well as effects of thermal excitations. The expansion is then employed to calculate the momentum distribution of the bosons in the Mott phase for an infinite homogeneous periodic system at zero temperature through third order in the hopping. By using scaling theory for the critical behavior at zero momentum and at the critical value of the hopping for the Mott insulator--to--superfluid transition along with a generalization of the random-phase-approximation-like form for the momentum distribution, we are able to extrapolate the series to infinite order and produce very accurate quantitative results for the momentum distribution in a simple functional form for one, two, and three dimensions. The accuracy is better in higher dimensions and is on the order of a few percent relative error everywhere except close to the critical value of the hopping divided by the on-site repulsion. In addition, we find simple phenomenological expressions for the Mott-phase lobes in two and three dimensions which are much more accurate than the truncated strong-coupling expansions and any other analytic approximation we are aware of. The strong-coupling expansions and scaling-theory results are benchmarked against numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations in two and three dimensions and against density-matrix renormalization-group calculations in one dimension. These analytic expressions will be useful for quick comparison of experimental results to theory and in many cases can bypass the need for expensive numerical simulations.

High-order strong-coupling expansion for the Bose-Hubbard model

Tao Wang, Xuefeng Zhang, Chunfeng Hou +2 more

Based on the process-chain method, we work out in detail a high-order strong-coupling expansion (HSCE) algorithm for determining the quantum phase boundary between the Mott insulator and the superfluid phase of the Bose-Hubbard model in different dimensions. A comparison with quantum Monte-Carlo results reveals the high efficiency and accuracy of the HSCE. With a symbolized evaluation of the algorithm we obtain an analytic expression for the strong-coupling boundary for different fillings up to eighth order. A subsequent Pad\'e approximation then yields a scaling function, which rescales lobes with different fillings to one lobe. As a further crosscheck, we perform a hopping expansion of the phase boundaries obtained from the effective potential Landau theory (EPLT) and find that the respective expansion coefficients coincide with those of HSCE.

Strong-coupling expansion for the two-species Bose-Hubbard model

M. Iskin

To analyze the ground-state phase diagram of Bose-Bose mixtures loaded into $d$-dimensional hypercubic optical lattices, we perform a strong-coupling power-series expansion in the kinetic energy term (plus a scaling analysis) for the two-species Bose-Hubbard model with onsite boson-boson interactions. We consider both repulsive and attractive interspecies interaction, and obtain an analytical expression for the phase boundary between the incompressible Mott insulator and the compressible superfluid phase up to third order in the hoppings. In particular, we find a re-entrant quantum phase transition from paired superfluid (superfluidity of composite bosons, i.e., Bose-Bose pairs) to Mott insulator and again to a paired superfluid in all one, two, and three dimensions, when the interspecies interaction is sufficiently large and attractive. We hope that some of our results could be tested with ultracold atomic systems.

Mott lobes of the S=1 Bose-Hubbard model with three-body interactions

A. F. Hincapie-F, R. Franco, Jereson Silva-Valencia

Using the density-matrix renormalization-group method, we studied the ground state of the one-dimensional $S=1$ Bose-Hubbard model with local three-body interactions, which can be a superfluid or a Mott insulator state. We drew the phase diagram of this model for both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interaction. Regardless of the sign of the spin-dependent coupling, we obtained that the Mott lobes area decreases as the spin-dependent strength increases, which means that the even-odd asymmetry of the two-body antiferromagnetic chain is absent for local three-body interactions. For antiferromagnetic coupling, we found that the density drives first-order superfluid-Mott insulator transitions for even and odd lobes. Ferromagnetic Mott insulator and superfluid states were obtained with a ferromagnetic coupling, and a tendency to a ``long-range'' order was observed.
