Abstract

We consider a ring-shaped triple-well potential with few polar bosons with in-plane dipole orientation. By diagonalizing the extended Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we investigate the ground-state properties of the system as we rotate the dipole angle and vary the on-site and dipole-dipole interaction strengths. We find that the anisotropic character of the dipolar interactions, as well as the competition between dipole and on-site interactions, leads to different ground states and that the entanglement between sites also depends on the number of particles. We further characterize the system by studying the condensed fraction and coherence properties for different polarization angles, highlighting the possible effect of the dipolar interaction as a manipulation tool.

Role of anisotropy in dipolar bosons in triple-well potentials

Albert Gallemí, M. Guilleumas, R. Mayol +1 more

Mesoscopic samples of polarized dipolar atoms confined in three spatially separated traps conform an extended Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian in which different quantum phases appear depending on the competition between tunneling, on-site, and long-range intersite dipole-dipole interactions. Here, by choosing an appropriate configuration of triple wells, we analyze the role played by the anisotropic character inherent to the dipolar interaction in the phase diagram of the system. We further characterize the different phases as well as their boundaries by means of their entanglement properties.

Entanglement entropy and macroscopic quantum states with dipolar bosons in a triple-well potential

Luca Dell’Anna, G. Mazzarella, Vittorio Penna +1 more

We study interacting dipolar atomic bosons in a triple-well potential within a ring geometry. This system is shown to be equivalent to a three-site Bose-Hubbard model. We analyze the ground state of dipolar bosons by varying the effective on-site interaction. This analysis is performed both numerically and analytically by using suitable coherent-state representations of the ground state. The latter exhibits a variety of forms ranging from the SU(3) coherent state in the delocalization regime to a macroscopic catlike state with fully localized populations, passing for a coexistence regime where the ground state displays a mixed character. We characterize the quantum correlations of the ground state from the bipartition perspective. We calculate both numerically and analytically (within the previous coherent-state representation) the single-site entanglement entropy which, among various interesting properties, exhibits a maximum value in correspondence to the transition from the catlike to the coexistence regime. In the latter case, we show that the ground-state mixed form corresponds, semiclassically, to an energy exhibiting two almost-degenerate minima.

Mean-field description of dipolar bosons in triple-well potentials

D Peter, Krzysztof Pawłowski, Tilman Pfau +1 more

We investigate the ground-state properties of a polarized dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate trapped in a triple-well potential. By solving the dipolar Gross–Pitaevskii equation numerically for different geometries we identify states which reveal the non-local character of the interaction. Depending on the strength of the contact and dipolar interaction we depict the stable and unstable regions in parameter space.

The coherence of boson–fermion mixed system

Ji-Guo Wang, Ju-Kui Xue

In this paper, we investigate the quantum coherence of Bose–Fermi mixtures of ultracold dipolar particles trapped in a three-site Bose–Fermi–Hubbard model. We show that the interplay between the boson–boson on-site interaction, boson–fermion on-site interaction, and boson–fermion inter-site dipole–dipole interaction (DDI) results in interesting coherence characters. When boson–boson on-site interaction is present, the resonance character of coherence against both boson–fermion DDI and boson–fermion on-site interaction emerges, the coherence of the system can be enhanced at certain values of boson–fermion on-site interaction and boson–fermion DDI. DDI of fermion–fermion affects the coherence weak and the phase coherence decreases monotonically for all the values of fermion–fermion DDI. The obtained coherent characters are further confirmed within the variational analyzing of the ground state energy.

Ultracold dipolar few-boson ensembles in a triple-well trap

B. Chatterjee, Ioannis Brouzos, Lushuai Cao +1 more

We investigate the ground state properties and tunneling dynamics of ultracold dipolar bosons in a one dimensional triple well trap from a few-body ab-initio perspective. Our focus is primarily on the distinctive features of dipolar bosons compared to the contact interacting bosons. Formation of intra-well localization is observed for very strong dipolar interaction. General population rearangement as well as fragmentation and localization effects have been found, depending strongly on the particle number. The energy spectrum for two particles exhibits avoided crossings that lead to several distinct resonances involving different bands, i.e. to an inter-band resonant tunneling dynamics. The corresponding mechanisms are investigated by studying among others the pair-probability and performing an eigenstate analysis.

Dipolar bosons on an optical lattice ring

Michał Maik, Pierfrancesco Buonsante, A. Vezzani +1 more

We consider an ultrasmall system of polarized bosons on an optical lattice with a ring topology, interacting via long-range dipole-dipole interactions. Dipoles polarized perpendicular to the plane of the ring reveal sharp transitions between different density-wave phases. As the strength of the dipolar interactions is varied, the behavior of the transitions is first-order-like. For dipoles polarized in the plane of the ring, the transitions between possible phases show pronounced sensitivity to the lattice depth. The abundance of possible configurations may be useful for quantum-information applications.
