Abstract

Nearest neighbor bosons possessing only on-site interactions do not form on-site bound pairs in their quantum walk due to fermionization. We obtain signatures of nontrivial on-site pairing in the quantum walk of strongly interacting two component bosons in a one dimensional lattice. By considering an initial state with particles from different components located at the nearest-neighbor sites in the central region of the lattice, we show that in the dynamical evolution of the system, competing intra- and intercomponent on-site repulsion leads to the formation of on-site intercomponent bound states. We find that when the total number of particles is three, an intercomponent pair is favored in the limit of equal intra- and intercomponent interaction strengths. However, when two bosons from each species are considered, intercomponent pairs and trimer are favored depending on the ratios of the intra- and intercomponent interactions. In both cases, we find that the quantum walks exhibit a reentrant behavior as a function of intercomponent interaction.

Non-trivial pairing in the quantum walk of two-component Bose-Hubbard model

Mrinal Kanti Giri, Suman Mondal, Bhanu Pratap Das +1 more

We investigate the quantum walk in a system of two-component bosons in one dimensional lattice. By considering an initial state with particles from different components residing in the nearest-nieghbour sites, we show that the competing intra- and inter-component repulsion leads to the formation of onsite inter-component bound states in the dynamical evolution - a phenomenon which is not favourable in the case of indistinguishable bosons. We obtain that when the total number of particles is three, an inter-component pair is favoured for equal inter- and intra-component interaction strengths. However, when two atoms from each species are considered, apart from the intra-component pairs, the system tends to favour a three particle bound state when the strength of inter-component interaction is half of the intra-component one. Moreover, in the regime of equal interactions both inter- and intra-component pairs are formed. In all the cases, we find that the quantum walks exhibit a re-entrant behaviour as a function of inter-species interaction.

Realizing nontrivial doublon formation using a quantum computer

Biswajit Paul, Tapan Mishra

Dynamical formation of doublons or on-site repulsively bound pairs of particles on a lattice is a highly nontrivial phenomenon. In this work, we show the signatures of doublon formation in a quantum computer by simulating the continuous time quantum walk in the framework of the one-dimensional extended Fermi-Hubbard model. By considering two up-component and one down-component particles initially created at the three neighboring sites at the middle of the lattice and allowing intra- (inter-)component nearest-neighbor (on-site) interactions, we show the formation of a stable on-site doublon in the quantum walk. The probability of such doublon formation is more (less) if the hopping strength of the down particle is weaker (stronger) compared to the up particle. On the contrary, for an initial doublon along with a free up particle, the stability of the doublon is more prominent than the doublon dissociation in the dynamics irrespective of the hopping asymmetry between the two components. We first numerically obtain the signatures of the stable doublon formation in the dynamics and then observe them using noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices.

Two component quantum walk in one-dimensional lattice with hopping imbalance

Mrinal Kanti Giri, Suman Mondal, Bhanu Pratap Das +1 more

We investigate the two-component quantum walk in one-dimensional lattice. We show that the inter-component interaction strength together with the hopping imbalance between the components exhibit distinct features in the quantum walk for different initial states. When the walkers are initially on the same site, both the slow and fast particles perform independent particle quantum walks when the interaction between them is weak. However, stronger inter-particle interactions result in quantum walks by the repulsively bound pair formed between the two particles. For different initial states when the walkers are on different sites initially, the quantum walk performed by the slow particle is almost independent of that of the fast particle, which exhibits reflected and transmitted components across the particle with large hopping strength for weak interactions. Beyond a critical value of the interaction strength, the wave function of the fast particle ceases to penetrate through the slow particle signalling a spatial phase separation. However, when the two particles are initially at the two opposite edges of the lattice, then the interaction facilitates the complete reflection of both of them from each other. We analyze the above mentioned features by examining various physical quantities such as the on-site density evolution, two-particle correlation functions and transmission coefficients.

Quantum walk of two interacting particles with mass imbalance

Mrinal Kanti Giri, Suman Mondal, Tapan Mishra

We investigate the quantum walk of two interacting particles of different mass in a one dimensional lattice. We show that the inter-particle interaction together with the mass imbalance exhibit distinct features in the quantum walk for different initial states. When the walkers are initially on the same site, both the heavy and light particles perform independent particle quantum walks for small interaction. However, stronger interactions lead to the quantum walk of the repulsively bound pair. For a different initial states when the walkers are on different sites initially, the heavy particle performs quantum walk almost independently and the light particle shows reflected and transmitted components across the heavy particle for small interactions. After a critical interaction strength, the light particle wave function ceases to penetrate through the heavy particle. However, when the quantum walkers are initially kept at the two opposite edges of the lattice, then the interaction facilitates the complete reflection of both heavy and light particles from each other. We analyze these features by examining various physical quantities such as the on-site density evolution, two-particle correlation functions and transmission coefficients.

Statistics-dependent quantum co-walking of two particles in one-dimensional lattices with nearest-neighbor interactions

Xizhou Qin, Yongguan Ke, Xi‐Wen Guan +3 more

We investigate continuous-time quantum walks of two indistinguishable particles [two bosons, or two fermions, or two hard-core bosons (HCBs)] in one-dimensional lattices with nearest-neighbor interactions. The results for two HCBs are consistent with the recent experimental observation of two-magnon dynamics [Fukuhara et al., Nature (London) 502, 76 (2013)]. The two interacting particles can undergo independent walking and/or co-walking depending on both quantum statistics and interaction strength. Two strongly interacting particles may form a bound state and then co-walk like a single composite particle with a statistics-dependent walk speed. Analytical solutions for the scattering and bound states, which appear in the two-particle quantum walks, are obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem in the two-particle Hilbert space. In the context of degenerate perturbation theory, an effective single-particle model for the quantum co-walking is analytically derived and the walk speed of bosons is found to be exactly three times that of fermions and HCBs. Our result paves the way for experimentally exploring quantum statistics via two-particle quantum walks.

Cluster dynamics in two-dimensional lattice gases with intersite interactions

Wei-Han Li, Arya Dhar, Xiaolong Deng +1 more

Sufficiently strong intersite interactions in extended-Hubbard and XXZ spin models result in dynamically bound clusters at neighboring sites. We show that the dynamics of these clusters in two-dimensional lattices is remarkably different and richer than that of repulsively bound on-site clusters in gases without intersite interactions. Whereas on-site pairs move in the same lattice as individual particles, nearest-neighbor dimers perform an interacting quantum walk in a different lattice geometry, leading to a peculiar dynamics characterized by multiple timescales. Although this is generally true, it is especially relevant in some lattices, including triangular and diamond lattices for hard-core bosons, and square lattices for soft-core bosons, where dimers move resonantly in either a kagome or a Lieb lattice. As a result, dimers show two very different transport velocities---a fast one comparable to the motion of individual particles, and a very slow one associated to flatband quasilocalization. Moreover, these lattices permit the resonant motion of longer clusters, and, remarkably, trimers move faster than quasi-flatband dimers for sufficiently strong optical lattices. This rich interplay between multiscaled quantum walk dynamics, quasilocalization, and flatband physics may be readily observed in experiments with lanthanide atoms.
