Exact correlation functions at finite temperatures in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid with an open end

Abstract

The paradigmatic state of a 1D collective metal, the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL), offers us an exact analytic solution for a strongly interacting quantum system not only for infinite systems at zero temperature but also at finite temperature and with a boundary. Potentially, these results are of high relevance for technology as they could lay the foundation for a many-body description of various nanostructures. For this to happen, we need expressions for local (i.e., spatially resolved) correlations as a function of frequency. In this study, we find such expressions and study their outcome. Based on our analytic expressions we are able to identify two distinct cases of TLL which we call Coulomb metal and Hund metal, respectively. We argue that these two cases span all the situations possible in nanotubes made out of p-block elements. From an applications viewpoint, it is crucial to capture the fact that the end of the 1D system can be coupled with the external environment and emit electrons into it. We discuss such coupling on two levels for both Coulomb and Hund metals: i) in the zeroth order approximation, the coupling modifies the 1D system's boundary conditions; ii) stronger coupling, when the environment can self-consistently modify the 1D system, we introduce spatially dependent TLL parameters. In case ii) we were able to capture the presence of plasmon-polariton particles, thus building a link between TLL and the field of nano-optics.

Exact correlation functions at finite temperatures in a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid with an open end

Naira Grigoryan, Piotr Chudziński

The authors derive here exact analytic expressions for correlations in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids with a boundary at finite temperature and discuss two distinct regimes: Coulomb and Hund metals. The difference between Coulomb and Hund is in the value of $K$. It is found that only the Hund metal has a peak in the single-particle density of states on its edge. Peak splitting due to coupling with plasmon polaritons is also studied. This shows how boundaries and external environmental coupling can shape the local density of states.

Tunable many-body interactions in a helical Luttinger liquid

Jia, Junxiang

The eect of electronic many-body interactions in one-dimensional (1D) systems is drastically enhanced compared to higher dimensions due to the restricted phasespace, often leading to strong electronic correlations. It can be shown that due to a breakdown of the Fermi liquid theory, the ground state at low temperatures becomes a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL). In a TLL, the strength of electronic correlations is characterized by the Luttinger parameter K, ranging between K = 0 and K = 1, where K = 1 describes non-interacting electrons. Various systems, such as single-walled carbon nanotubes, 1D atomic metal chains, and MoS 2 mirror twin boundaries, have been reported to host TLLs, in which spin-degeneracy is intact.

Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid parameters in Multi-wall Nanotubes

Naira Grigoryan, Piotr Chudziński

Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory is a canonical formalism used to describe one-dimensional (1D) metals, where the low energy physics is determined by collective bosonic excitations. In this work, we present a theoretical model to compute the parameters of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) in multi-wall nanotubes (MWNTs). MWNTs introduce additional complexity to the usual fermionic chains due to interactions and hybridization between their multiple coaxial shells. We consider a model in which conducting paths along the length of the MWNTs are randomly distributed among the shells. Since the valley degree of freedom remains a good quantum number, the TLL description in addition to spin and charge, contains also valley degree of freedom, hence four mode description applies. The values of all four TLL parameters are obtained for this model. A surprising outcome is that the compressibility of the holon mode becomes a universal quantity, while the parameters of neutral modes will depend on the details of inter-shell coupling. Finally, we propose experiments where our predictions can be tested.

Variational wave-functions for correlated metals

Ankush Chaubey, Harsh Nigam, Subhro Bhattacharjee +1 more

We study a set of many-body wave-functions of Fermions that are naturally written using momentum space basis and allow for quantum superposition of Fermion occupancy, $\{n_{\bf k}\}$. This {enables} us to capture the fluctuations of the Fermi-surface {(FS)} -- the singularly most important signature of a metal. We bench-mark our results in one spatial dimensions (1D) to show that these wave-functions allow for quantitative understanding of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL); computations of certain correlators using them can in fact be extended to larger systems sizes compared to conventional exact diagonalization (ED) allowing for a more systematic comparison with bosonization techniques. Finally we show that this basis may be useful for obtaining fixed-point wave-function for strongly correlated metals {in dimensions greater that one}. In particular, we study the case of coherent (equal) superposition of elliptical FS {in continuum (2D) and on a} square lattice{. In case of the former, our variational wave-function systematically interpolates between the phenomenology of the Fermi liquid ground state, i.e., finite single-Fermion residue at a sharp FS, to a non-Fermi liquid (NFL) with zero residue. In the NFL the jump in $\langle n_{\bf k}\rangle$ at the FS is replaced by a point of inflection (similar to a 1D TLL) whose contour is consistent with the Luttinger Theorem. In case of the square lattice, we} find highly anisotropic distribution of the quasi-particle residue, which, at finite resolution has an uncanny resemblance to the Fermi-arcs{, albeit at zero temperature,} seen in the pseudo-gap state of the cuprates.

Circuit Quantum Simulation of a Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid with an Impurity

A. Anthore, Zubair Iftikhar, E. Boulat +5 more

The Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) concept is believed to generically describe the strongly correlated physics of one-dimensional systems at low temperatures.A hallmark signature in 1D conductors is the quantum phase transition between metallic and insulating states induced by a single impurity.However, this transition impedes experimental explorations of real-world TLLs.Furthermore, its theoretical treatment, explaining the universal energy rescaling of the conductance at low temperatures, has so far been achieved exactly only for specific interaction strengths.Quantum simulation can provide a powerful workaround.Here, a hybrid metal-semiconductor dissipative quantum circuit is shown to implement the analogue of a TLL of adjustable electronic interactions comprising a single, fully tunable scattering impurity.Measurements reveal the renormalization group "beta function" for the conductance that completely determines the TLL universal crossover to an insulating state upon cooling.Moreover, the characteristic scaling energy locating at a given temperature the position within this conductance renormalization flow is established over nine decades versus circuit parameters, and the out-of-equilibrium regime is explored.With the quantum-simulator quality demonstrated from the precise parameter-free validation of existing and novel TLL predictions, quantum simulation is achieved in a strong sense, by elucidating interaction regimes which resist theoretical solutions.

Universal local pair correlations of Lieb-Liniger bosons at quantum criticality

Ming‐Ming Wang, Jiahao Huang, Chaohong Lee +3 more

The one-dimensional Lieb-Liniger Bose gas is a prototypical many-body system featuring universal Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) physics and free fermion quantum criticality. We analytically calculate finite temperature local pair correlations for the strong-coupling Bose gas at quantum criticality using the polylog function in the framework of the Yang-Yang thermodynamic equations. We show that the local pair correlation has the universal value ${g}^{(2)}(0)\ensuremath{\approx}2p/(n\ensuremath{\varepsilon})$ in the quantum critical regime, the TLL phase, and the quasiclassical region, where $p$ is the pressure per unit length rescaled by the interaction energy $\ensuremath{\varepsilon}=\frac{{\ensuremath{\hbar}}^{2}}{2m}{c}^{2}$ with interaction strength $c$ and linear density $n$. This suggests the possibility to test finite temperature local pair correlations for the TLL in the relativistic dispersion regime and to probe quantum criticality with the local correlations beyond the TLL phase. Furthermore, thermodynamic properties at high temperatures are obtained by both high temperature and virial expansion of the Yang-Yang thermodynamic equation.
