Abstract

The Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) has been widely explored to develop a profound understanding of the strongly correlated behavior of interacting bosons. Quantum simulators not only allow the exploration of the BHM but also extend it to models with interesting phenomena such as gapped phases with multiple orders and topological phases. In this work, an extended Bose-Hubbard model involving a dimerized one-dimensional model of long-range interacting hard-core bosons is studied. Bond-order density wave phases (BODW) are characterized in terms of their symmetry breaking and topological properties. At certain fillings, interactions combined with dimerized hoppings give rise to an emergent symmetry-breaking leading to BODW phases, which differs from the case of non-interacting models that require an explicit breaking of the symmetry. Specifically, the BODW phase at filling $\ensuremath{\rho}=1/3$ possesses no analog in the noninteracting model in terms of its symmetry-breaking properties and the unit cell structure. Upon changing the dimerization pattern, the system realizes topologically trivial BODW phases. At filling $\ensuremath{\rho}=1/4$, on-site density modulations are shown to stabilize the topological BODW phase. Our work provides the bridge between interacting and noninteracting BODW phases and highlights the significance of long-range interactions in a dimerized lattice by showing unique BODW phases that do not exist in the noninteracting model.

Competing insulating phases in a dimerized extended Bose-Hubbard model

We study the ground-state properties of the extended Bose-Hubbard model in a one-dimensional dimerized optical lattice. In the limit of strong on-site repulsion, i.e., hardcore bosons, and strong nearest-neighbor interaction, a stable density-wave (DW) phase is obtained at half-filling as a function of lattice dimerization. Interestingly, at quarter-filling we obtain the signatures of an insulating phase which has the character of both the bond order (BO) and the DW insulators, which we call a bond-order density-wave (BODW) phase. Moreover, we show that for a fixed hopping dimerization there occurs a BO-DW phase crossover as a function of the nearest-neighbor interaction and the BODW phase is more robust when the hopping dimerization is stronger. We further examine the stability of the BODW phase in the limit of finite on-site interactions.

Symmetry-breaking topological insulators in the Z2 Bose-Hubbard model

Daniel González-Cuadra, Alexandre Dauphin, Przemysław R. Grzybowski +3 more

We study a one-dimensional model of interacting bosons coupled to a dynamical ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}$ field, the ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}$ Bose-Hubbard model, and analyze the interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking and topological symmetry protection. In a previous work, we showed how this model exhibits a spontaneous breaking of the translational symmetry through a bosonic Peierls transition. Here we find how, at half filling, the resulting phase also displays topological features that coexist with the presence of long-range order and yields a topological bond order wave. Using both analytical and numerical methods, we describe the properties of this phase, showing that it cannot be adiabatically connected to a topological phase of noninteracting bosons, and thus constitutes an instance of an interaction-induced symmetry-breaking topological insulator.

The double-well Bose Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor and cavity-mediated long-range interactions

Johannes Sicks, Heiko Rieger

We consider a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) with on-site double-well potentials and study the effect of nearest-neighbor repulsion and cavity-mediated long-range interactions by calculating the ground-state phase diagrams with quantum Monte-Carlo simulations. We show that when the intra-well repulsion is as strong as the on-site repulsion a dimerized Mott insulator phase appears at the tip of the dimerized Density Wave phase for a density of one particle per double well. Furthermore, we find a dimerized Haldane insulator phase in the double-well BHM with nearest-neighbor interaction, which is identical to a dimerized BHM with repulsive interactions up to the third neighbor.

Quantum phase transitions in the dimerized extended Bose-Hubbard model

K. Sugimoto, Satoshi Ejima, Florian Lange +1 more

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.

We consider a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) with on-site double-well potentials and study the effect of nearest-neighbor repulsion and cavity-mediated long-range interactions by calculating the ground-state phase diagrams with quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We show that when the intrawell repulsion is as strong as the on-site repulsion, a dimerized Mott-insulator phase appears at the tip of the dimerized density-wave phase for a density of one particle per double well. Furthermore, we find a dimerized Haldane-insulator phase in the double-well BHM with nearest-neighbor interaction, which is identical to a dimerized BHM with repulsive interactions up to the third neighbor.

Competing insulating phases of dipolar bosons in a dimerized optical lattice

We study the ground state properties of dipolar bosons in a one dimensional dimerized optical lattice. In the limit of strong onsite repulsion i.e. hardcore bosons, and strong dipole-dipole interaction, a stable density wave (DW) phase is obtained at half filling as a function of lattice dimerization. Interestingly, at quarter filling we obtain the signatures of an insulating phase which has both the character the bond-order (BO) and the DW insulators which we call a bond-order density wave (BODW) phase. Moreover, we show that for a fixed hopping dimerization there occurs a BO-DW phase crossover as a function of the dipole-dipole interaction and the BODW phase is more robust when the hopping dimerization is stronger. We further examine the stability of the BODW phase in the limit of finite onsite interactions.
