How to experimentally detect a GGE? - Universal Spectroscopic Signatures of the GGE in the Tonks gas

Abstract

In this work we study the properties of the density density correlation function of the 1-D Lieb-Liniger model with infinite repulsion in the GGE regime. The GGE describes the equilibrated system in the long time limit after a quench from a generic initial state. In the case that the initial and hence the final state has low entropy per particle we find that the density density correlation function has a universal form, in particular it depends on a few parameters corresponding to "key" momenta and has power law dependence on the distance. This provides an experimental signature of the GGE which may readily be identified through spectroscopy. These signatures are universal and robust to initial sate preparation.

Equilibration and Generalized GGE in the Lieb Liniger gas

Garry Goldstein, Natan Andrei

We study the nonequilibrium properties of the one dimensional Lieb Liniger model in the finite repulsion regime. Introducing a new version of the Yudson representation applicable to finite size systems and appropriately taking the infinite volume limit we are able to study equilibration of the Lieb Liniger gas in the thermodynamic limit. We provide a formalism to compute various correlation functions for highly non equilibrium initial states. We are able to find explicit analytic expressions for the long time limit of the expectation of the density, density density and related correlation functions. We show that the gas equilibriates to a diagonal ensemble which we show is equivalent to a generalized version of the GGE for sufficiently simple correlation functions, which in particular include density correlations.

Interaction quenches in the Lieb-Liniger model

Márton Kormos, Aditya Shashi, Yang-Zhi Chou +1 more

We obtain exact results on interaction quenches in the 1D Bose gas described by the integrable Lieb-Liniger model. We show that in the long time limit integrability leads to significant deviations from the predictions of the grand canonical ensemble and a description within the generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE) is needed. For a non-interacting initial state and arbitrary final interactions, we find that the presence of infinitely many conserved charges generates a non-analytic behavior in the equilibrated density of quasimomenta. This manifests itself in a dynamically generated Friedel-like oscillation of the non-local correlation functions with interaction dependent oscillation momenta. We also exactly evaluate local correlations and the generalized chemical potentials within GGE.

Quench between a Mott insulator and a Lieb-Liniger liquid

Garry Goldstein, Natan Andrei

In this work we study a quench between a Mott insulator and a repulsive Lieb-Liniger liquid. We explicitly find the stationary state when a long time has passed after the quench. It is given by a generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE) density matrix, which we completely characterize, calculating the quasiparticle density that describes the system after the quench. In the long-time limit we find an explicit form for the local three-body density-density-density correlation function and the asymptotic long-distance limit of the two-point density-density correlation function. The latter is shown to have Gaussian decay at large distances.

Short-Distance Correlation Properties of the Lieb-Liniger System and Momentum Distributions of Trapped One-Dimensional Atomic Gases

Maxim Olshanii, Vanja Dunjko

We derive exact closed-form expressions for the first few terms of the short-distance Taylor expansion of the one-body correlation function of the Lieb-Liniger gas. As an intermediate result, we obtain the high-p asymptotics of the momentum distribution of both free and harmonically trapped atoms and show that it obeys a universal 1/p(4) law for all values of the interaction strength. We discuss the ways to observe the predicted momentum distributions experimentally, regarding them as a sensitive identifier for the Tonks-Girardeau regime of strong correlations.

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, ${E}_{\mathrm{int}}\ensuremath{\propto}{t}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$.

Quantum Quench from interacting massive to free massless bosons in one dimension

Spyros Sotiriadis

One of the fundamental principles of statistical physics is that only partial information about a system's state is required for its macroscopic description. This is not only true for thermal ensembles, but also for the unconventional ensemble, known as Generalized Gibbs Ensemble (GGE), that is expected to describe the relaxation of integrable systems after a quantum quench. By analytically studying the quench dynamics in a prototypical one-dimensional critical model, the massless free bosonic field theory, we find evidence of a novel type of equilibration characterized by the preservation of an enormous amount of memory of the initial state that is accessible by local measurements. In particular, we show that the equilibration retains memory of non-Gaussian initial correlations, in contrast to the case of massive free evolution which erases all such memory. The GGE in its standard form, being a Gaussian ensemble, fails to predict correctly the equilibrium values of local observables, unless the initial state is Gaussian itself. Our findings show that the equilibration of a broad class of quenches whose evolution is described by Luttinger liquid theory with an initial state that is non-Gaussian in terms of the bosonic field, is not correctly captured by the corresponding bosonic GGE, raising doubts about the validity of the latter in general one-dimensional gapless integrable systems such as the Lieb-Liniger model. We also propose that the same experiment by which the GGE was recently observed [Langen et al., Science 348 (2015) 207-211] can also be used to observe its failure, simply by starting from a non-Gaussian initial state.
