We study the nonlinear feedback in a fermion-boson system using an extension of dynamical mean-field theory and the quantum Monte Carlo method. In the perturbative regimes (weak-coupling and atomic limits) the effective interaction among fermions increases as the width of the boson dispersion increases. In the strong-coupling regime away from the antiadiabatic limit, the effective interaction decreases as we increase the width of the boson dispersion. This behavior is closely related to complete softening of the boson field. We elucidate the parameters that control this nonperturbative region where fluctuations of the dispersive bosons enhance the delocalization of fermions.We study the nonlinear feedback in a fermion-boson system using an extension of dynamical mean-field theory and the quantum Monte Carlo method.

Generality of the Uniform-Limit Formalism for Many-Boson Systems in the Weak-Coupling Limit

Deok Kyo Lee

Ground states of two typical many-boson model systems are studied: (i) a weakly interacting boson system at low density, and (ii) a low-density hard-sphere boson gas in the low-energy limit. For both of these systems it is shown explicitly that the uniform-limit formalism based on the method of correlated basis functions can be used to obtain, in a relatively simple way, exact results for the ground-state energy per particle and other related properties in the weak-coupling limit. In the problem of the hard-sphere boson gas the $T$ -matrix method is found to be particularly useful in dealing with the singular interaction potential.Ground states of two typical many-boson model systems are studied: (i) a weakly interacting boson system at low density, and (ii) a low-density hard-sphere boson gas in the low-energy limit.

Localization Dynamics from Impurities and Quantum Gauge Theories

Ephraim Bernhardt, Fan Yang, Karyn Le Hur

We study the superfluid response and localization dynamics from impurities and gauge theories. The superfluidity is formed in the rung-Mott phase of a bosonic ladder model producing spin-Meissner currents induced by a $\mathbb{U}(1)$ gauge field or a uniform magnetic field. Impurities are described through two-state systems which act as a two-peak random potential. An impurity sits either at the top or at the bottom of the ladder on each rung equally, producing a telegraph signal. The impurities-matter coupling gives rise to a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry for static impurities and we formulate a correspondence to $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theories for mobile impurities. The properties of the system are studied from an effective quantum spin model including the possibility of four-body coupling in the limit of a strong interaction between bosons and impurities. Through analytical approaches and numerical exact diagonalization, we analyse the superfluid currents both in the weakly-coupled and strongly-coupled rungs limits for the bosons. In the weakly-coupled rungs situation, we find a smooth power-law localization whereas the strongly-coupled rungs limit produces a steep localization or insulating phase for various configurations of the two-peak random potential. In the strongly disordered situation, through entanglement and bipartite fluctuation measures, we also identify a many-body localization regime in time after a quench of the system when prepared in a N\' eel state.We study the superfluid response and localization dynamics from impurities and gauge theories.
