Abstract

We investigate a two-body quantum system with hard-core interaction potential in a two-dimensional harmonic trap. We provide the exact analytical solution of the problem. The energy spectrum of this system as a function of the range of the interaction reveals level crossings which can be explained examining the potential and kinetic part of the energy, as well as the localization and oscillatory properties of the wavefunctions quantified by the Fisher information. The latter is sensitive to the wavefunction localization between nodes promoting this property as a resource of quantum correlations in interacting particle systems.

Exactly solvable model of two trapped quantum particles interacting via finite-range soft-core interactions

Przemysław Kościk, Tomasz Sowiński

The exactly solvable model of two indistinguishable quantum particles (bosons or fermions) confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap and interacting via finite-range soft-core interaction is presented and many properties of the system are examined. Particularly, it is shown that independently on the potential range, in the strong interaction limit bosonic and fermionic solutions become degenerate. For sufficiently large ranges a specific crystallization appears in the system. The results are compared to predictions of the celebrated Busch et al. model and those obtained in the Tonks-Girardeau limit. The assumed inter-particle potential is very similar to the potential between ultra-cold dressed Rydberg atoms. Therefore, the model can be examined experimentally.

Analytical treatment of the interaction quench dynamics of two bosons in a two-dimensional harmonic trap

G. Bougas, S. I. Mistakidis, Peter Schmelcher

We investigate the quantum dynamics of two bosons, trapped in a two-dimensional harmonic trap, upon quenching arbitrarily their interaction strength and thereby covering the entire energy spectrum. Utilizing the exact analytical solution of the stationary system, we derive a closed analytical form of the expansion coefficients of the time-evolved two-body wave function, whose dynamics is determined by an expansion over the postquench eigenstates. The emergent dynamical response of the system is analyzed in detail by inspecting several observables such as the fidelity, the reduced one-body densities, the radial probability density of the relative wave function in both real and momentum space, and the Tan contact, which unveils the existence of short range two-body correlations. When the system is initialized in its bound state, it is perturbed in the most efficient manner as compared to any other initial configuration. Moreover, starting from an interacting ground state, the two-boson response is enhanced for quenches toward the noninteracting limit.

Quantized Hydrodynamic Theory of One-Dimensional Hard Core Bosons

Tarun Kanti Ghosh

We present a quantized hydrodynamic theory and its applications of one-dimensional hard-core bosons in a harmonic trap. Quantizing the Hamiltonian of a trapped hard-core bosons and diagonalize it in terms of the phase and density fluctuations associated with the Bose field operator. As an applications, we calculate discrete energy spectrum, dynamic structure factor, momentum transferred by a two-photon Bragg pulse, single-particle density matrix, momentum distribution, and two-particle correlation function. The dynamic structure factor has multiple peaks due to the discrete nature of the energy spectrum which can be observed by a two-photon Bragg pulse with long duration. The coherence length at zero temperature is very small due to the "fermionization" of the system. We also compute the momentum distributions which has oscillatory behavior at large momentum. The pair distribution function shows that there are many deep valleys at various relative separations which implies shell structure due to the Pauli blocking in real space.

Quantum correlations and degeneracy of identical bosons in a two-dimensional harmonic trap

Pere Mujal, Enric Sarlé, A. Polls +1 more

We consider a small number of identical bosons trapped in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic potential and also the $N$-boson system when it is feasible. The atom-atom interaction is modeled by means of a finite-range Gaussian interaction. The spectral properties of the system are scrutinized and, in particular, we derive analytic expressions for the degeneracies and their breaking for the lower-energy states at small but finite interactions. We demonstrate that the degeneracy of the low-energy states is independent of the number of particles in the noninteracting limit and also for sufficiently weak interactions. In the strongly interacting regime, we show how the many-body wave function develops holes whenever two particles are at the same position in space to avoid the interaction, a mechanism reminiscent of the Tonks-Girardeau gas in one dimension. The evolution of the system as the interaction is increased is studied by means of the density profiles, pair correlations, and fragmentation of the ground state for $N=2$, 3, and 4 bosons.

Variational Monte Carlo analysis of Bose–Einstein condensation in a two-dimensional trap

Zheng Rong-Jie, Jing Jin, Yi Ping Tang

The ground-state properties of a system with a small number of interacting bosons over a wide range of densities are investigated. The system is confined in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic trap, where the interaction between bosons is treated as a hard-core potential. By using variational Monte Carlo method, we diagonalize the one-body density matrix of the system to obtain the ground-state energy, condensate wavefunction and the condensate fraction. We find that in the dilute limit the depletion of central condensate in the 2D system is larger than in a 3D system for the same interaction strength; however as the density increases, the depletion at the centre of 2D trap will be equal to or even lower than that at the centre of 3D trap, which is in agreement with the anticipated in Thomas–Fermi approximation. In addition, in the 2D system the total condensate depletion is still larger than in a 3D system for the same scattering length.

Boson pairs in a one-dimensional split trap

D S Murphy, J F McCann, John Goold +1 more

We describe the properties of a pair of ultracold bosonic atoms in a one-dimensional harmonic trapping potential with a tunable zero-ranged barrier at the trap center. The full characterization of the ground state is done by calculating the reduced single-particle density, the momentum distribution, and the two-particle entanglement. We derive several analytical expressions in the limit of infinite repulsion (Tonks-Girardeau limit) and extend the treatment to finite interparticle interactions by numerical solution. As pair interactions in double wells form a fundamental building block for many-body systems in periodic potentials, our results have implications for a wide range of problems.
