Abstract

We theoretically investigate topological properties of the one-dimensional superlattice anyon-Hubbard model, which can be mapped to a superlattice bose-Hubbard model with an occupation-dependent phase factor by fractional Jordan-Wigner transformation. The topological anyon-Mott insulator is identified by topological invariant and edge modes using exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group algorithm. When only the statistical angle is varied and all other parameters are fixed, a statistically induced topological phase transition can be realized, which provides insights into the topological phase transitions. What's more, we give an explanation of the statistically induced topological phase transition. The topological anyon-Mott phases can also appear in a variety of superlattice anyon-Hubbard models.

Density matrix renormalization group study of the Anyon-Hubbard model

J. Arcila-Forero, R Franco, Jereson Silva-Valencia

Recently optical lattices allow us to observe phase transition without the uncertainty posed by complex materials, and the simulations of these systems are an excellent bridge between materials-based condensed matter physics and cold atoms. In this way, the computational physics related to many-body problems have increased in importance. Using the density matrix renormalization group method, we studied a Hubbard model for anyons, which is an equivalent to a variant of the Bose-Hubbard model in which the bosonic hopping depends on the local density. This is an exact mapping between anyons and bosons in one dimension. The anyons interlope between bosons and fermions. For two anyons under particle exchange, the wave function acquires a fractional phase e iθ . We conclude that this system exhibits two phases: Mott-insulator and superfluid. We present the phase diagram for some angles. The Mott lobe increases with an increase of the statistical. We observed a reentrance phase transition for all lobes. We showed that the model studied is in the same universality class as the Bose-Hubbard model with two-body interactions.

Three-body-interaction effects on the ground state of one-dimensional anyons

J. Arcila-Forero, Roberto Franco, Jereson Silva-Valencia

We investigated a one-dimensional system of anyons that interact with each other under a local three-body term. Using a fractional Jordan-Wigner transformation, we arrived at a modified Bose-Hubbard model, which exhibits gapped and gapless phases. We built the phase diagram of the system fixing the hopping parameter or the statistics, showing the evolution of the critical points, which were estimated with von Neumann block entropy. A superfluid to Mott insulator quantum phase transition with one particle per site can be driven by the statistics or the interaction. Specifically, we show that for larger angles there is a finite critical value of the interaction at which the Mott phase appears. Also, we found that the critical angles increase with the hopping. Diverse gapless phases were observed away from the pseudofermion limit.

Critical points of the anyon-Hubbard model

J. Arcila-Forero, Roberto Franco, Jereson Silva-Valencia

Anyons are particles with fractional statistics that exhibit a nontrivial change in the wave function under an exchange of particles. Anyons can be considered to be a general category of particles that interpolate between fermions and bosons. We determined the position of the critical points of the one-dimensional anyon-Hubbard model, which was mapped to a modified Bose-Hubbard model where the tunneling depends on the local density and the interchange angle. We studied the latter model by using the density-matrix renormalization-group method and observed that gapped (Mott insulator) and gapless (superfluid) phases characterized the phase diagram, regardless of the value of the statistical angle. The phase diagram for higher densities was calculated and showed that the Mott lobes increase (decrease) as a function of the statistical angle (global density). The position of the critical point separating the gapped and gapless phases was found using quantum information tools, namely the block von Neumann entropy. We also studied the evolution of the critical point with the global density and the statistical angle and showed that the anyon-Hubbard model with a statistical angle $\ensuremath{\theta}=\ensuremath{\pi}/4$ is in the same universality class as the Bose-Hubbard model with two-body interactions.

Topological Bose-Mott Insulators in a One-Dimensional Optical Superlattice

Shi-Liang Zhu, Z. D. Wang, Yang‐Hao Chan +1 more

We study topological properties of the Bose-Hubbard model with repulsive interactions in a one-dimensional optical superlattice. We find that the Mott insulator states of the single-component (two-component) Bose-Hubbard model under fractional fillings are topological insulators characterized by a nonzero charge (or spin) Chern number with nontrivial edge states. For ultracold atomic experiments, we show that the topological Chern number can be detected through measuring the density profiles of the bosonic atoms in a harmonic trap.

Topological Mott insulator with bosonic edge modes in one-dimensional fermionic superlattices

Haiping Hu, Shu Chen, Tian-Sheng Zeng +1 more

We investigate topological phase transitions driven by interaction and identify a topological Mott insulator state in one-dimensional fermionic optical superlattices through a numerical density-matrix renormalization-group method. Remarkably, the low-energy edge excitations change from spin-1/2 fermionic single-particle modes to spin-1 bosonic collective modes across the phase transition. Due to spin-charge separation, the low-energy theory is governed by an effective spin superexchange model, whereas the charge degree of freedom is fully gapped out. Such topological Mott state can be characterized by a spin Chern number and gapless magnon modes protected by a finite spin gap. The proposed experimental setup is simple and may pave the way for the experimental observation of exotic topological Mott states.

Simulating bosonic Chern insulators in one-dimensional optical superlattices

Yu-Lian Chen, Guo-Qing Zhang, Dan-Wei Zhang +1 more

We study the topological properties of an extended Bose-Hubbard model with cyclically modulated hopping and on-site potential parameters, which can be realized with ultracold bosonic atoms in a one-dimensional optical superlattice. We show that the interacting bosonic chain at half filling and in the deep Mott insulating regime can simulate bosonic Chern insulators with a topological phase diagram similar to that of the Haldane model of noninteracting fermions. Furthermore, we explore the topological properties of the ground state by calculating the many-body Chern number, the quasiparticle energy spectrum with gapless edge modes, the topological pumping of the interacting bosons, and the topological phase transition from normal (trivial) to topological Mott insulators. We also present the global phase diagram of the many-body ground state, which contains a superfluid phase and two Mott insulating phases with trivial (a zero Chern number) and nontrivial topologies (a nonzero Chern number), respectively.
