Abstract

The spectrum of phonon-like collective excitations in the system of Bose-atoms in optical lattice (more generally, in the system of quantum particles described by the Bose-Hubbard model) is investigated.Such excitations appear due to displacements of particles with respect to their local equilibrium positions.The two-level model taking into account the transitions of bosons between the ground state and the first excited state in potential wells, as well as interaction between them, is used.Calculations are performed within the random phase approximation in the hard-core boson limit.It is shown that excitation spectrum in normal phase consists of the one exciton-like band, while in the phase with BE condensate an additional band appears.The positions, spectral weights and widths of bands strongly depend on chemical potential of bosons and temperature.The conditions of stability of a system with respect to the lowering of symmetry and displacement modulation are discussed.

Bose-Einstein condensation and/or modulation of "displacements" in the two-state Bose-Hubbard model

Stasyuk, O. V. Velychko

Instabilities resulting in Bose-Einstein condensation and/or modulation of "displacements" in a system of quantum particles described by a two-state Bose-Hubbard model (with an allowance for the interaction between particle displacements on different lattice sites) are investigated.A possibility of modulation, which doubles the lattice constant, as well as the uniform displacement of particles from equilibrium positions are studied.Conditions for realization of the mentioned instabilities and phase transitions into the SF phase and into the "ordered" phase with frozen displacements are analyzed.The behaviour of order parameters is investigated and phase diagrams of the system are calculated both analytically (ground state) and numerically (at non-zero temperatures).It is revealed that the SF phase can appear as an intermediate one between the normal and "ordered" phases, while a supersolid phase is thermodynamically unstable and does not appear.The relation of the obtained results to the lattices with the double-well local potentials is discussed.

Two-state Bose-Hubbard model in the hard-core boson limit

Stasyuk, O. V. Velychko

Phase transition into the phase with Bose-Einstein (BE) condensate in the two-band Bose-Hubbard model with the particle hopping in the excited band only is investigated.Instability connected with such a transition (which appears at excitation energies δ < |t ′ 0 |, where |t ′ 0 | is the particle hopping parameter) is considered.The re-entrant behaviour of spinodales is revealed in the hard-core boson limit in the region of positive values of chemical potential.It is found that the order of the phase transition undergoes a change in this case and becomes the first one; the re-entrant transition into the normal phase does not take place in reality.First order phase transitions also exist at negative values of δ (under the condition δ > δ crit ≈ -0.12|t ′ 0 |).At µ < 0 the phase transition mostly remains to be of the second order.The behaviour of the BE-condensate order parameter is analyzed, the (Θ, µ) and (|t ′ 0 |, µ) phase diagrams are built and localizations of tricritical points are established.The conditions are found at which the separation on the normal phase and the phase with the BE condensate takes place.

Fermion Spectrum Of Bose-Fermi-Hubbard Model In The Phase With Bose-Einstein Condensate

Володимир Олександрович Краснов

We investigate the fermion spectrum within the Bose–Fermi–Hubbard model used for the description of boson-fermion mixtures of ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices. We used the method based on the Hubbard operator approach for an on-site basis. The equation for fermion Green’s function in the Bose–Fermi–Hubbard model is built; Green’s functions of higher orders are decoupled in the Hubbard-I approximation (the case of the strong on-site interaction). The corresponding spectral densities are calculated. In the case of hard-core bosons, the condition of appearance of additional bands in the fermion spectrum is investigated. It is shown that these bands exist only in the state with a Bose–Einstein condensate and appear because of the mixing of states with different numbers of bosons. These additional bands can be interpreted as a manifestation of composite excitations (when the appearance of a fermion on the site is accompanied by the simultaneous creation (or annihilation) of a boson).

Investigation of the Bosonic Spectrum of Two-Dimensional Optical Graphene-Type Lattices. Superfluid Phase

Ihor V. Stasyuk, O. V. Velychko, I. R. Dulepa

The energy spectrum of a system of Bose atoms in the superfluid phase in an optical lattice of the graphene type has been studied. The dispersion laws for the energy bands and the single particle spectral densities are calculated in the random phase approximation and in the framework of the hard-core boson formalism, and their changes at the transition from the normal phase to the superfluid one are described. As a result of this transformation, the number of subbands doubles. In the case of the subband energetic equivalence, the Dirac points in the spectrum survive, and their number becomes twice as much. When the subbands are energetically nonequivalent, the Dirac points are absent. The shape of spectral densities is shown to be sensitive to the changes in the temperature and the chemical potential position.

Investigation of the Bosonic Spectrum of Two-Dimensional Optical Graphene-Type Lattices. Normal Phase

Ihor V. Stasyuk, I. R. Dulepa, O. V. Velychko

The band spectrum of bosonic atoms in two-dimensional honeycomb optical lattices with the graphene-type structure has been studied. The dispersion laws in the bands and the one-particle spectral densities are calculated for the normal phase in the random phase approximation. The temperature-dependent gapless spectrum with Dirac points located at the Brillouin zone boundary is obtained for the lattice with energetically equivalent sites, with the corresponding chemical potential lying outside the allowed energy band. Different on-site energies in the sublattices are shown to induce the appearance of a gap in the spectrum, so that the chemical potential can be located between the subbands, which gives rise to a substantial reconstruction of the band spectrum. The frequency dependences of the one-particle spectral density for both sublattices are determined as functions of the chemical potential level, the spectral gap magnitude, and the temperature.

Quantum Dynamics of Strongly Correlated Ultracold Bose Gases in Optical Lattices

Markus Hild

Ultracold bosonic gases in optical lattices are strongly correlated quantum systems similar to solids. The strong correlation between the electrons in a solid on the one hand, and the bosonic atoms in optical lattice on the other, exhibit various quantum phenomena like insulation, conductivity, localization of electrons and atoms, respectively. Controlled by the intensity of the lattice laser, the ultracold bosonic gas can be transferred from a regime with superfluid character for shallow lattices into a regime of strong correlations, the Mott insulator. As an additional external parameter besides the lattice depth, one can generate spatial inhomogeneities by superimposing an additional standing wave (so-called two-color superlattices), which gives rise to localization effects or the formation of a Bose-glass phase. In the present work, numerical simulations are employed in order to investigate characteristic signatures of the quantum phases in the low-energy excitation spectrum of one-dimensional systems. We simulate temporal small amplitude modulations of the optical lattice in analogy to experiments, and evaluate the response of the system from the time-evolved initial state. The lattice systems are described in the framework of the Bose-Hubbard model. For the evaluation of the time-evolved state, we employ several numerical methods. We analyze systems of small size (6 particles on 6 sites) using an exact time-evolution by integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The formulation of an importance truncation scheme enables us to retain only the relevant components of the model space in the strongly correlated regime and, thus, allows for the investigation of systems with 10 particles on 10 sites using exact time-evolution. Based on this method, we present results of the Mott-insulating regime as well as for the Bose-glass phase. Furthermore, we employ particle-hole methods, which allow for the treatment of systems with experimental lattice sizes and particle numbers. Starting from the equation of motion method we adapt the Tamm-Dancoff approximation as well as the random-phase approximation for the occupation number representation of the Bose-Hubbard model. We present results of simulations of up to 50 particles on 50 sites and discuss the impact of the lattice depth on the low-energy excitations (U-resonance). Moreover, the impact of a two-color superlattice and the variation of its amplitude is investigated.
