Threshold for Chaos and Thermalization in the One-Dimensional Mean-Field Bose-Hubbard Model

Amy Cassidy, Douglas Mason, Vanja Dunjko +1 more

We study the threshold for chaos and its relation to thermalization in the 1D mean-field Bose-Hubbard model, which, in particular, describes atoms in optical lattices. We identify the threshold for chaos, which is finite in the thermodynamic limit, and show that it is indeed a precursor of thermalization. Far above the threshold, the state of the system after relaxation is governed by the usual laws of statistical mechanics.

Chaos and Thermalization in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model in the classical-field approximation

Amy Cassidy

In this thesis, we present a comprehensive study of chaos and thermalization of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard Model (BHM) within the classical field approximation. Two quantitative measures are compared: the ensemble-averaged Finite-time Maximal Lyapunov exponent, a measures of chaos and the normalized spectral entropy, a measure of the distance between the numerical time-averaged momentum distribution and the one predicted by thermodynamics. A threshold for chaos is found, which depends on two parameters, the nonlinearity and the total energy-per-particle. Below the threshold, the dynamics are regular, while far above the threshold, complete thermalization is observed, as measured by the normalized spectral entropy. We study individual resonances in the Bose-Hubbard model to determine the criterion for chaos. The criterion based on Chirikov's method of overlapping resonances diverges in the thermodynamic limit, in contrast to the criterion parameters inferred from numerical calculations, signifying the failure of the standard Chirikov's approach. The Ablowitz-Ladik lattice is one of several integrable models that are close to the BHM. We outline the method of Inverse Scattering Transform and generate the integrals of motion of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice. Furthermore, we discuss the possible role of these quantities in the relaxation dynamics of the BHM.

Non-Equilibrium Steady States and Quantum Chaos in a three-site Driven-Dissipative Bose-Hubbard Chains base on Self-Consistent Mean-Field Approach

Chen-Huan Wu

We investigate the non-equilibrium dynamics and steady-state properties of a driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard chain using a self-consistent Gutzwiller mean-field (GMF) approach. By employing a robust Picard iteration scheme, we solve the non-linear master equation for the non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) in the presence of strong Kerr nonlinearity. We identify two distinct dynamical regimes governed by the interplay between coherent drive, dissipation, and interaction: a regular quasilinear regime and a chaotic regime. Linear stability analysis reveals that the transition to the chaotic regime is triggered by parametric instabilities arising from the drive-induced coherence. Furthermore, we characterize the onset of quantum chaos by calculating the out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC). Our results show that in the strong coupling regime, the OTOC exhibits rapid exponential growth and saturation, providing a clear signature of information scrambling in this open quantum system. The proposed numerical framework offers an efficient pathway to explore many-body correlations in larger photonic lattices.
