Abstract

We study the role of the dipolar-induced resonance (DIR) in a quasi-one-dimensional system of ultracold bosons. We first describe the effect of the DIR on two particles in a harmonic trap. Then, we consider a deep optical lattice loaded with ultracold dipolar bosons. In order to describe this system, we introduce a novel atom-dimer extended Bose-Hubbard model, which is the minimal model correctly accounting for the DIR. We analyze the impact of the DIR on the phase diagram at $T=0$ by exact diagonalization of a small-sized system. We show that the DIR strongly affects this phase diagram. In particular, we predict the mass density wave to occur in a narrow domain corresponding to weak nearest-neighbor interactions, and we predict the occurrence of a collapse phase for stronger dipolar interactions.

Matter Waves in Reduced Dimensions: Dipolar-Induced Resonances and Atomic Artificial Crystals

Nicola Bartolo

The experimental achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation and Fermi degeneracy with ultracold gases boosted tremendous progresses both in theoretical methods and in the development of new experimental tools. Among them, intriguing possibilities have been opened by the implementation of optical lattices: periodic potentials for neutral atoms created by interfering laser beams. Degenerate gases in optical lattices can be forced in highly anisotropic traps, reducing the effective dimensionality of the system. From a fundamental point of view, the behavior of matter waves in reduced dimensions sheds light on the intimate properties of interparticle interactions. Furthermore, such reduced-dimensional systems can be engineered to quantum-simulate fasci- nating solid state systems, like bidimensional crystals, in a clean and controllable environment. Motivated by the exciting perspectives of this field, we devote this Thesis to the theoretical study of two systems where matter waves propagate in reduced dimensions. The long-range and anisotropic character of the dipole-dipole interaction critically affects the behavior of dipolar quantum gases. The continuous experimental progresses in this flourishing field might lead very soon to the creation of degenerate dipolar gases in optical potentials. In the first part of this Thesis, we investigate the emergence of a single dipolar-induced resonance in the two-body scattering process in quasi-one dimensional geometries. We develop a two-channel approach to describe such a resonance in a highly elongated cigar-shaped harmonic trap, which approximates the single site of a quasi-one-dimensional optical lattice. At this stage, we develop a novel atom-dimer extended Bose-Hubbard model for dipolar bosons in this quasi-one-dimensional optical lattice. Hence we investigate the T = 0 phase diagram of the model by exact diagonalization of a small-sized system, highlighting the effects of the dipolar-induced resonance on the many-body behavior in the lattice. In the second part of the Thesis, we present a general scheme to realize cold-atom quantum simulators of bidimensional atomic crystals, based on the possibility to independently trap two different atomic species. The first one constitutes a two-dimensional matter wave which interacts only with the atoms of the second species, deeply trapped around the nodes of a two-dimensional optical lattice. By introducing a general analytic approach, we investigate the matter-wave transport properties. We propose some illustrative applications to both Bravais (square, triangular) and non-Bravais (graphene, kagomeÌ ) lattices, studying both ideal periodic systems and experimental- sized, eventually disordered, ones. The features of the artificial atomic crystal critically depend on the two-body interspecies interaction strength, which is shown to be widely tunable via 0D-2D mixed-dimensional resonances. Keywords: matter waves, reduced dimensions, dipolar-induced resonances, mixed-dimensional resonances, extended Bose-Hubbard model, atomic artificial crystals.

Rigorous two-body problem in a 1D lattice with long-range interactions

Tom Kristensen, Andrea Simoni

We study the scattering and the bound-state properties of two ultracold particles interacting via a short-range and a dipolar (long-range) interaction in a strictly 1D optical lattice. Our rigorous model take naturally into account the effects of the shape of the fundamental energy band and also of the role of the excited energy bands of the lattice. We first compare our exact results for a short-range interaction with the usual Bose-Hubbard (BH) model. By doing this, we highlight the effect of the excited bands, the non on-site interaction and the tunneling between distant neighbor that are not included into the usual BH model. A key result of our model is that the effective interaction deeply depend on the particle quasi-momenta and can then present a resonant behavior even for deep lattices. As a second phase of this study, we focus on the scattering of two polar particles in a lattice. The long-range interaction and the energy band structure of the lattice induce peculiar Wigner threshold laws. Our exact two-body calculations allow us to assess the validity of an extended Bose-Hubbard model for dipolar gases. This work was supported by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (contract no.

Effect of the band structure in a rigorous two-body model with long-range interactions in 1D optical lattices

Tom Kristensen, Andrea Simoni, Jean–Michel Launay

We compute scattering and bound state properties for two ultracold molecules in a pure 1D optical lattice. We introduce reference functions with complex quasi-momentum that naturally account for the effect of excited energy bands. Our exact results for a short-range interaction are first compared with the simplest version of the standard Bose-Hubbard (BH) model. Such comparison allows us to highlight the effect of the excited bands, of the non-on-site interaction and of tunneling with distant neighbor, that are not taken into account in the BH model. The effective interaction can depend strongly on the particle quasi-momenta and can present a resonant behavior even in a deep lattice. As a second step, we study scattering of two polar particles in the optical lattice. Peculiar Wigner threshold laws stem from the interplay of the long range dipolar interaction and the presence of the energy bands. We finally assess the validity of an extended Bose-Hubbard model for dipolar gases based on our exact two-body calculations.

Quantum phases of dipolar bosons in one-dimensional optical lattices

Rebecca Kraus, Titas Chanda, Jakub Zakrzewski +1 more

We theoretically analyze the phase diagram of a quantum gas of bosons that interact via repulsive dipolar interactions. The bosons are tightly confined by an optical lattice in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry. In the single-band approximation, their dynamics is described by an extended Bose-Hubbard model where the relevant contributions of the dipolar interactions consist of density-density repulsion and correlated tunneling terms. We evaluate the phase diagram for unit density using numerical techniques based on the density-matrix renormalization group algorithm. Our results predict that correlated tunneling can significantly modify the parameter range of the topological insulator phase. At vanishing values of the onsite interactions, moreover, correlated tunneling promotes the onset of a phase with a large number of low-energy metastable configurations.

Extended Bose-Hubbard model with dipolar and contact interactions

Krzysztof Biedroń, Mateusz Łącki, Jakub Zakrzewski

We study the phase diagram of the one-dimensional boson gas trapped inside an optical lattice with contact and dipolar interaction, taking into account next-nearest terms for both tunneling and interaction. Using the density-matrix renormalization group, we calculate how the locations of phase transitions change with increasing dipolar interaction strength for average density $\ensuremath{\rho}=1$. Furthermore, we show the emergence of pair-correlated phases for a large dipolar interaction strength and $\ensuremath{\rho}\ensuremath{\ge}2$, including a supersolid phase with an incommensurate density wave ordering manifesting the corresponding spontaneous breaking of the translational symmetry.

Dipolar molecules in optical lattices revisited

Tomasz Sowiński, Omjyoti Dutta, Philipp Hauke +2 more

We study the extended Bose--Hubbard model describing an ultracold gas of dipolar molecules in an optical lattice, taking into account all on-site and nearest-neighbor interactions, including occupation-dependent tunneling and pair tunneling terms. Using exact diagonalization and the multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz, we show that these terms can destroy insulating phases and lead to novel quantum phases. These considerable changes of the phase diagram have to be taken into account in upcoming experiments with dipolar molecules.
