Quantum phase transitions in the dimerized extended Bose-Hubbard model

Abstract

We present an unbiased numerical density-matrix renormalization group study of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model supplemented by nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction and bond dimerization. It places the emphasis on the determination of the ground-state phase diagram and shows that, besides dimerized Mott and density-wave insulating phases, an intermediate symmetry-protected topological Haldane insulator emerges at weak Coulomb interactions for filling factor one, which disappears, however, when the dimerization becomes too large. Analyzing the critical behavior of the model, we prove that the phase boundaries of the Haldane phase to Mott insulator and density-wave states belong to the Gaussian and Ising universality classes with central charges $c=1$ and $c=1/2$, respectively, and merge in a tricritical point. Interestingly we can demonstrate a direct Ising quantum phase transition between the dimerized Mott and density-wave phases above the tricritical point. The corresponding transition line terminates at a critical end point that belongs to the universality class of the dilute Ising model with $c=7/10$. At even stronger Coulomb interactions the transition becomes first order.

Criticality at the Haldane-insulator charge-density-wave quantum phase transition

Florian Lange, Satoshi Ejima, Holger Fehske

Exploiting the entanglement concept within a matrix-product-state based infinite density-matrix renormalization group approach, we show that the spin-density-wave and bond-order-wave ground states of the one-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard model give way to a symmetry-protected topological Haldane state in case an additional alternating ferromagnetic spin interaction is added. In the Haldane insulator, the lowest entanglement level features a characteristic twofold degeneracy. Increasing the ratio between the nearest-neighbor and local Coulomb interaction $V/U$, the enhancement of the entanglement entropy, the variation of the charge, spin, and neutral gaps, and the dynamical spin and density response signal a quantum phase transition to a charge-ordered state. Below a critical point, which belongs to the universality class of the tricritical Ising model with central charge 7/10, the model is critical with $c=1/2$ along the transition line. Above this point, the transition between the Haldane insulator and charge-density-wave phases becomes first order.

Phases, transitions, and patterns in the one-dimensional Extended Bose-Hubbard model

Jamshid Moradi Kurdestany, Ramesh V. Pai, Subroto Mukerjee +1 more

We carry out an extensive study of the phase diagram of the extended Bose Hubbard model, with a mean filling of one boson per site, in one dimension by using the density matrix renormalization group and show that it can have Superfluid (SF), Mott-insulator (MI), density-wave (DW) and Haldane-insulator (HI) phases depending on the precise value of filling and how edge states are handled. We show that the critical exponents and central charge for the HI-DW, MI-HI and SF-MI transitions are consistent with those for models in the two-dimensional Ising, Gaussian, and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality classes, respectively; and we suggest that the SF-HI transition may be more exotic than a simple BKT transition.

Spectral and Entanglement Properties of the Bosonic Haldane Insulator

Satoshi Ejima, Florian Lange, Holger Fehske

We discuss the existence of a nontrivial topological phase in one-dimensional interacting systems described by the extended Bose-Hubbard model with a mean filling of one boson per site. Performing large-scale density-matrix renormalization group calculations we show that the presence of nearest-neighbor repulsion enriches the ground-state phase diagram of the paradigmatic Bose-Hubbard model by stabilizing a novel gapped insulating state, the so-called Haldane insulator, which, embedded into superfluid, Mott insulator, and density wave phases, is protected by the lattice inversion symmetry. The quantum phase transitions between the different insulating phases were determined from the central charge via the von Neumann entropy. The Haldane phase reveals a characteristic fourfold degeneracy of the entanglement spectrum. We finally demonstrate that the intensity maximum of the dynamical charge structure factor, accessible by Bragg spectroscopy, features the gapped dispersion known from the spin-1 Heisenberg chain.

Phases, transitions, and boundary conditions in a model of interacting bosons

Jamshid Moradi Kurdestany, Ramesh V. Pai, Subroto Mukerjee +1 more

We carry out an extensive study of the phase diagrams of the extended Bose Hubbard model, with a mean filling of one boson per site, in one dimension by using the density matrix renormalization group and show that it contains Superfluid (SF), Mott-insulator (MI), density-wave (DW) and Haldane-insulator (HI) phases. We show that the critical exponents and central charges for the HI-DW, MI-HI and SF-MI transitions are consistent with those for models in the two-dimensional Ising, Gaussian, and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality classes, respectively; and we suggest that the SF-HI transition may be more exotic than a simple BKT transition. We show explicitly that different boundary conditions lead to different phase diagrams.

Phase diagram of the extended Bose–Hubbard model

Davide Rossini, Rosario Fazio

By means of the density matrix renormalization group technique, we accurately determine the zero-temperature phase diagram of the one-dimensional extended Bose–Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbor interactions. We analyze the scaling of the charge and of the neutral ground-state energy gaps, as well as of various order parameters. In this way we come to an accurate location of the boundaries between the superfluid and the insulating phases. In this last region, we are able to distinguish between the conventional Mott insulating and density-wave phases and the Haldane insulator phase displaying long-range string ordering, as originally predicted by Dalla Torre et al (2006 Phys. Rev. Lett. 97 260401).

Quantum information analysis of the phase diagram of the half-filled extended Hubbard model

Cornelius Mund, Örs Legeza, R. M. Noack

We examine the phase diagram of the half-filled one-dimensional extended Hubbard model using quantum information entropies within the density-matrix renormalization group. It is well known that there is a charge-density-wave phase at large nearest-neighbor and a small on-site Coulomb repulsion and a spin-density wave at small nearest-neighbor and large on-site Coulomb repulsion. At intermediate Coulomb interaction strength, we find an additional narrow region of a bond-order phase between these two phases. The phase transition line for the transition out of the charge-density-wave phase changes from first order at strong coupling to second order in a parameter regime where all three phases are present. We present evidence that the additional phase-transition line between the spin-density-wave and bond-order phases is infinite order. While these results are in agreement with recent numerical work, our study provides an independent unbiased means of determining the phase boundaries by using quantum information analysis, yields values for the location of some of the phase boundaries that differ from those previously found, and provides insight into the limitations of numerical methods in determining phase boundaries, especially those of infinite-order transitions.
