Abstract

We investigate local quantum field theories for one-dimensional (1D) Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions, which are closely connected with each other by Girardeau's Bose-Fermi mapping. While the Lagrangian for bosons includes only a two-body interaction, a marginally relevant three-body interaction term is found to be necessary for fermions. Because of this three-body coupling, the three-body contact characterizing a local triad correlation appears in the energy relation for fermions, which is one of the sum rules for a momentum distribution. In addition, we apply in both systems the operator product expansion to derive large-energy and momentum asymptotics of a dynamic structure factor and a single-particle spectral density. These behaviors are universal in the sense that they hold for any 1D scattering length at any temperature. The asymptotics for the Tonks-Girardeau gas, which is a Bose gas with a hardcore repulsion, as well as the Bose-Fermi correspondence in the presence of three-body attractions are also discussed.

Comparative study of one-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions from the viewpoint of universal relations for correlation functions

Yuta Sekino, Shina Tan, Yusuke Nishida

One-dimensional spinless Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions have the close interrelation via Girardeau's Bose-Fermi mapping, leading to the correspondences in their energy spectra and thermodynamics. However, correlation functions are in general not identical between these systems. We derive in both systems the exact universal relations for correlation functions, which hold for any energy eigenstate and any statistical ensemble of the eigenstates with or without a trapping potential. These relations include the large-momentum behaviors of static structure factors and of momentum distributions as well as energy relations, which connect the sums of kinetic and interaction energies to the momentum distributions. The relations involve two- and three-body contacts, which are the integrals of local pair and triad correlations, respectively. We clarify how the relations for bosons and fermions differ and are connected with each other. In particular, we find that the three-body contact makes no contribution to the bosonic energy relation, but it plays a crucial role in the fermionic one. In addition, we compute the exact momentum distribution for any number of fermions in the unitary limit.

Universal Contact for a Tonks-Girardeau Gas at Finite Temperature

Patrizia Vignolo, Anna Minguzzi

We determine the finite-temperature momentum distribution of a strongly interacting 1D Bose gas in the Tonks-Girardeau (impenetrable-boson) limit under harmonic confinement and explore its universal properties associated to the scale invariance of the model. We show that, at difference from the unitary Fermi gas in three dimensions, the weight of its large-momentum tails--given by Tan's contact--increases with temperature and calculate the high-temperature universal second contact coefficient using a virial expansion.

Fermionization of a strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixture in a one-dimensional harmonic trap

Bess Fang, Patrizia Vignolo, Christian Miniatura +1 more

We consider a strongly interacting one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Fermi mixture confined in a harmonic trap. It consists of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas (1D Bose gas with repulsive hard-core interactions) and of a noninteracting Fermi gas (1D spin-aligned Fermi gas), both species interacting through hard-core repulsive interactions. Using a generalized Bose-Fermi mapping, we determine the one-body density matrices, exact particle density profiles, momentum distributions, and behavior of the mixture under 1D expansion when opening the trap. In real space, bosons and fermions do not display any phase separation: the respective density profiles extend over the same region and they both present a number of peaks equal to the total number of particles in the trap. In momentum space the bosonic component has the typical narrow TG profile, while the fermionic component shows a broad distribution with fermionic oscillations at small momenta. Due to the large boson-fermion repulsive interactions, both the bosonic and the fermionic momentum distributions decay as $C{p}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ at large momenta, like in the case of a pure bosonic TG gas. The coefficient $C$ is related to the two-body density matrix and to the bosonic concentration in the mixture. When opening the trap, both momentum distributions ``fermionize'' under expansion and turn into that of a Fermi gas with a particle number equal to the total number of particles in the mixture.

A study on quantum gases: bosons in optical lattices and the one-dimensional interacting Bose gas

Felipe Taha Sant’Ana

Bosonic atoms confined in optical lattices are described by the Bose-Hubbard model and can exist in two different phases, Mott insulator or superfluid, depending on the strength of the system parameters. In the vicinity of the phase boundary, there are degeneracies that occur between every two adjacent Mott lobes. Because of this, nondegenerate perturbation theory fails to give meaningful results for the condensate density: it predicts a phase transition in a point of the phase diagram where no transition occurs. Motivated by this, we develop two different degenerate perturbative methods to solve the degeneracy-related problems. Moreover, we study the one-dimensional repulsively interacting Bose gas under harmonic confinement, with special attention to the asymptotic behavior of the momentum distribution, which is a universal $k^{-4}$ decay characterized by the Tan's contact. The latter constitutes a direct signature of the short-range correlations in such an interacting system and provides valuable insights about the role of the interparticle interactions. We investigate the system constituted of $N$ interacting particles in the strongly interacting limit. In such a regime, the strong interparticle interaction makes the bosons behave similarly to the ideal Fermi gas. Because of the difficulty in analytically solving the system for $N$ particles at finite interaction, the Tonks-Girardeau regime provides a favorable scenario to probe the contact. Therefore, we are able to provide an analytical formula for the Tan's contact. Furthermore, we analyze the scaling properties of the Tan's contact in terms of $N$ in the high-temperature regime as well as in the strongly interacting regime. Finally, we compare our analytical calculations of the Tan's contact to quantum Monte Carlo simulations and discuss some fundamental differences between the canonical and the grand-canonical ensembles.

Universal Tan relations for quantum gases in one dimension

Ovidiu I. Pâţu, Andreas Klümper

We investigate universal properties of one-dimensional multicomponent systems composed of fermions, bosons, or an arbitrary mixture, with contact interactions and subjected to an external potential. The masses and the coupling strengths between different types of particles are allowed to be different and we also take into account the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field. We show that the momentum distribution of these systems exhibits a universal ${n}_{\ensuremath{\sigma}}(k)\ensuremath{\sim}{C}_{\ensuremath{\sigma}}/{k}^{4}$ decay with ${C}_{\ensuremath{\sigma}}$ being the contact of species $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ which can be computed from the derivatives of an appropriate thermodynamic potential with respect to the scattering lengths. In the case of integrable fermionic systems, we argue that at fixed density and repulsive interactions the total contact reaches its maximum in the balanced system and monotonically decreases to zero as we increase the magnetic field. The converse effect is present in integrable bosonic systems: the contact is largest in the fully polarized state and reaches its minimum when all states are equally populated. We obtain short distance expansions for the Green's function and pair distribution function and show that the coefficients of these expansions can be expressed in terms of the density, kinetic energy, and contact. In addition, we derive universal thermodynamic identities relating the total energy of the system, pressure, trapping energy, and contact. Our results are valid at zero and finite temperature for homogeneous or trapped systems and for few-body or many-body states.

Fermi-Bose mapping for one-dimensional Bose gases

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov, Marvin D. Girardeau

One-dimensional Bose gases are considered, interacting either through the hard-core potentials or through the contact delta potentials. Interest in these gases gained momentum because of the recent experimental realization of quasi-one-dimensional Bose gases in traps with tightly confined radial motion, achieving the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) regime of strongly interacting atoms. For such gases the Fermi-Bose mapping of wavefunctions is applicable. The aim of the present communication is to give a brief survey of the problem and to demonstrate the generality of this mapping by emphasizing that: (i) It is valid for nonequilibrium wavefunctions, described by the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, not merely for stationary wavefunctions. (ii) It gives the whole spectrum of all excited states, not merely the ground state. (iii) It applies to the Lieb-Liniger gas with the contact interaction, not merely to the TG gas of impenetrable bosons.
