Dimensionally induced one-dimensional to three-dimensional phase transition of the weakly interacting ultracold Bose gas

Abstract

We investigate the dimensionally induced phase transition from the normal to the Bose-Einstein-condensed phase for a weakly interacting Bose gas in an optical lattice. To this end we make use of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov-Popov theory, where we include numerically exact hopping energies and effective interaction strengths. At first we determine the critical chemical potential, where we find a much better agreement with recent experimental data than a pure Hartree-Fock treatment. This finding originates from an important correction due to quantum fluctuations, which are enhanced in lower dimensions. Furthermore, we determine for the one-dimensional to three-dimensional transition the power-law exponent of the critical temperature for two different noninteracting Bose gas models yielding the same value of 1/2, which indicates that they belong to the same universality class. For the weakly interacting Bose gas we find for both models that this exponent is robust with respect to finite interaction strengths.

Finite-temperature treatment of ultracold atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice

B. G. Wild, P. B. Blakie, David A. W. Hutchinson

We consider the effects of temperature upon the superfluid phase of ultracold, weakly interacting bosons in a one-dimensional optical lattice. We use a finite-temperature treatment of the Bose-Hubbard model based upon the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov formalism, considering both a translationally invariant lattice and one with additional harmonic confinement. In both cases we observe an upward shift in the critical temperature for Bose condensation. For the case with additional harmonic confinement, this is in contrast with results for the uniform gas.

Finite-temperature theory of superfluid bosons in optical lattices

D. Baillie, P. B. Blakie

A practical finite-temperature theory is developed for the superfluid regime of a weakly interacting Bose gas in an optical lattice with additional harmonic confinement. We derive an extended Bose-Hubbard model that is valid for shallow lattices and when excited bands are occupied. Using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov-Popov mean-field approach, and applying local-density and coarse-grained envelope approximations, we arrive at a theory that can be numerically implemented accurately and efficiently. We present results for a three-dimensional system, characterizing the importance of the features of the extended Bose-Hubbard model and compare against other theoretical results and show an improved agreement with experimental data.

Quantum phase transitions in low-dimensional weakly interacting disordered Bose gases

Joseph Saliba

In this thesis, we study the quantum phase transition triggered by an external random po- tential in ultra-cold low-dimensional weakly-interacting Bose gases at zero temperature. In one-dimensional systems, the quantum phases are characterized by the decay at long-range of the one-body density matrix. This decay exhibits an algebraic behaviour in the superfluid quasi-condensed phase while in the insulating Bose glass phase this it becomes exponen- tial, signaling the complete loss of coherence in the system. In two-dimensional systems, a characterization based on the long-range behaviour of the one-body density matrix appears to be highly demanding from a computational point of view. We therefore characterized the superfluid-insulator transition in two-dimensional systems by the low-energy behaviour of the cumulative density of states of the Bogoliubov excitations. While in the superfluid condensed phase this quantity grows as the square of the excitation energy in agreement with the existence of a finite velocity of sound, in the insulating Bose glass phase this power law is less than quadratic. This study is performed in the framework of an extended Bogoliubov approach properly adapted to treat low-dimensional Bose gases. Using a systematic numerical study, we draw the interaction-disorder phase diagrams of the superfluid-insulator transition in 1D and 2D. The phase boundary follows two different power- laws depending on the length scales characterizing the spatial correlations of the disorder and the strength of interactions. The power-law exponents were found to be in agreement with the ones predicted by scaling arguments, both in the white noise and the Thomas-Fermi regimes. In the two-dimensional system, the classical percolation threshold in the Thomas-Fermi limit was found to overestimate the critical disorder below which the onset of superfluidity should be observed for a given interaction strength.

Bose-Einstein condensation in a one-dimensional interacting system due to power-law trapping potentials

Mehmet Bayındır, B. Tanatar, Z. Gedik

We examine the possibility of Bose-Einstein condensation in one-dimensional interacting Bose gas subjected to confining potentials of the form ${V}_{\mathrm{ext}}{(x)=V}_{0}(|x|{/a)}^{\ensuremath{\gamma}},$ in which $\ensuremath{\gamma}<2,$ by solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation within the semiclassical two-fluid model. The condensate fraction, chemical potential, ground state energy, and specific heat of the system are calculated for various values of interaction strengths. Our results show that a significant fraction of the particles is in the lowest energy state for a finite number of particles at low temperature, indicating a phase transition for weakly interacting systems.

Finite-size scaling of the specific heat for a three-dimensional homogeneous weakly interacting Bose gas within a canonical statistics

Jian-hui Wang, Yong-li Ma

Within a canonical ensemble treatment, we study the finite-size scaling behaviour of the specific heat near the critical region for the weakly interacting Bose gases, and obtain the specific heat exponent α and correlation length exponent ν which agree well with experimental data and previous theoretical predictions. For the small and fixed interaction parameter an 1/3 with a being the scattering length and n the particle number density, we report for the first time that the dimensionless specific heats per particle c ( t , N ) for various system sizes ( L = ( N / n ) 1/3 in a square box potential) and reduced temperatures ( t = T / T c − 1) collapse onto a single form, and the borders of universality validity are obtained numerically. From scaling arguments, we study the interaction-induced shift of the transition temperature (Δ T c = T c − T 0 c ) and find that Δ T c / T 0 c = ban 1/3 with b = 0.42 ± 0.05, where T 0 c is the ideal-gas thermodynamic critical temperature. We also compare our findings with experimental and theoretical results for in cubic lattices, showing the very different behaviours for the two systems.

Critical temperature and thermodynamic properties of a homogeneous dilute weakly interacting Bose gas within the improved Hartree-Fock approximation at finite temperature

Nguyễn Văn Thụ, Thanh, Pham Duy

By means of Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective action approach we investigate a homogeneous dilute weakly interacting Bose gas at finite temperature in vicinity of critical region. A longstanding debate, the shift of critical temperature, is considered and obtained in the universal form $ΔT_C/T_C^{(0)} = cn_0^{1/3}a_s$ with constants $c$ and $a$. The non-condensate fraction is contributed by quantum fluctuations as well as thermal exitations and can be expressed in sum of three terms. These terms correspond to the quantum fluctuations, thermal fluctuations and both. Indeed, the specific heat capacity and critical exponents are calculated and in excellent agreement with those in previous works and experimental data.
