Abstract

We continue to study frequency-dependent complex bulk viscosities of one-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions, which exhibit the weak-strong duality according to our recent work. Here we show that they are contributed to by Drude peaks divergent at zero frequency as typical for transport coefficients of quantum integrable systems in one dimension. In particular, their Drude weights are evaluated based on the Kubo formula in the high-temperature limit at arbitrary coupling as well as in the weak-coupling and strong-coupling limits at arbitrary temperature, where systematic expansions in terms of small parameters are available. In all three limits, the Drude peaks are found at higher orders compared to the finite regular parts.

Bulk Viscosity of Dual Bose and Fermi Gases in One Dimension

Tomohiro Tanaka, Yusuke Nishida

One-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions are known to exhibit the weak-strong duality, where the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of one system at weak coupling are identical to those of the other system at strong coupling. Here, we show that such duality extends beyond the thermodynamics to the frequency-dependent complex bulk viscosity, which is provided by the contact-contact response function. In particular, we confirm that the bulk viscosities of the Bose and Fermi gases agree in the high-temperature limit, where the systematic expansion in terms of fugacity is available at arbitrary coupling. We also compute their bulk viscosities perturbatively in the weak-coupling limit at arbitrary temperature, which via the duality serve as those of the Fermi and Bose gases in the strong-coupling limit.

Thermal conductivity of a weakly interacting Bose gas in quasi-one-dimension

Tomohiro Tanaka, Yusuke Nishida

Transport coefficients are typically divergent for quantum integrable systems in one dimension, such as a Bose gas with a two-body contact interaction. However, when a one-dimensional system is realized by confining bosons into a tight matter waveguide, an effective three-body interaction inevitably arises as leading perturbation to break the integrability. This fact motivates us to study the thermal conductivity of a Bose gas in one dimension with both two-body and three-body interactions. In particular, we evaluate the Kubo formula exactly to the lowest order in perturbation by summing up all contributions that are naively higher orders in perturbation but become comparable in the zero-frequency limit due to the pinch singularity. Consequently, a self-consistent equation for a vertex function is derived, showing that the thermal conductivity in quasi-one-dimension is dominated by the three-body interaction rather than the two-body interaction. Furthermore, the resulting thermal conductivity in the weak-coupling limit proves to be identical to that computed based on the quantum Boltzmann equation and its temperature dependence is numerically determined.

Viscous flow in a one-dimensional spin-polarized Fermi gas: The role of integrability on viscosity

Jeff Maki, Shizhong Zhang

The transport properties of one-dimensional Fermi gases at low temperatures are often described by the Luttinger liquid (LL) model. However, to study dissipative effects, one needs to examine interactions beyond the LL model. In this work, we provide a simple model that allows for a direct microscopic calculation of the bulk viscosity, namely, the one-dimensional spin polarized $p$-wave Fermi gas. To leading order in the finite interaction strength, we find that the bulk viscosity is finite and consistent with the requirement of scale symmetry. We further show that the bulk viscosity satisfies the Bose-Fermi duality relating the weakly interacting limit of the spin polarized Fermi gas to the strongly interacting limit of the Lieb-Liniger model and vice versa. This work establishes the bulk viscosity to leading order in scale-breaking interactions in both the strongly and weakly interacting limits for both high and low temperatures.

Viscosity and scale invariance in the unitary Fermi gas

Tilman Enss, R. Haussmann, W. Zwerger

We compute the shear viscosity of the unitary Fermi gas above the superfluid transition temperature, using a diagrammatic technique that starts from the exact Kubo formula. The formalism obeys a Ward identity associated with scale invariance which guarantees that the bulk viscosity vanishes identically. For the shear viscosity, vertex corrections and the associated Aslamazov-Larkin contributions are shown to be crucial to reproduce the full Boltzmann equation result in the high-temperature, low fugacity limit. The frequency dependent shear viscosity $\eta(\omega)$ exhibits a Drude-like transport peak and a power-law tail at large frequencies which is proportional to the Tan contact. The weight in the transport peak is given by the equilibrium pressure, in agreement with a sum rule due to Taylor and Randeria. Near the superfluid transition the peak width is of the order of $0.5 T_F$, thus invalidating a quasiparticle description. The ratio $\eta/s$ between the static shear viscosity and the entropy density exhibits a minimum near the superfluid transition temperature whose value is larger than the string theory bound $\hbar/(4\pi k_B)$ by a factor of about seven.

Universal transport properties of continuous quantum gases

Zi-yang Liu, Xiangguo Yin, Yunbo Zhang +2 more

The Drude weight characterizes ballistic transport in quantum many-body systems. Although analytical calculations of Drude weights have been extensively studied in integrable models, their direct connections to finite-temperature macroscopic state functions remain unestablished, especially for continuous multicomponent quantum gases. In the present work, we use generalized hydrodynamics and the thermodynamic Bethe ansätz to calculate exactly the Drude weights for one-dimensional continuous integrable systems, including the Lieb-Liniger and Bose-Fermi mixture models. We derive universal exact relations between Drude weight matrix components and key thermodynamic densities (particle density, enthalpy, entropy). Analytic expressions for Drude weight are obtained across different physical regimes, i.e. strong- and weak-coupling regimes in addition to universal scaling laws near the quantum phase transitions. To bridge theory and experiment, we simulate two experimental protocols, linear potential quench and bipartitioning quench, to enable reliable measurements of the Drude weights. Using these protocols, we calculate the charge and energy Drude weight for Lieb-Liniger gas and compare with recent measurements reported in [Science 391, 290 (2026)], showing excellent agreement with particle density and enthalpy, respectively, thus offering deeper physical insights into experimental observations. Our findings directly link ballistic transport properties to thermodynamics, providing rigorous theoretical benchmarks for future ultracold atomic gas experiments.

Bulk viscosity of resonating fermions revisited: Kubo formula, sum rule, and the dimer and high-temperature limits

Keisuke Fujii, Yusuke Nishida

The bulk viscosity of two-component fermions with a zero-range interaction is revisited both in two and three dimensions. We first point out that the ``standard'' Kubo formula employed in recent studies has flaws to give rise to an unphysical divergent bulk viscosity even in a limit where it is supposed to vanish. The corrected Kubo formula as well as the sum rule is, then, carefully rederived so as to confirm that the bulk viscosity, indeed, vanishes in the free, unitarity, and dimer limits. We also discuss that the recently found discrepancy between the Kubo formalism and the kinetic theory for the bulk viscosity is attributed to the fact that the quasiparticle approximation assumed by the latter breaks down even in the high-temperature limit.
