One-Dimensional Disordered Bosonic Hubbard Model: A Density-Matrix Renormalization Group Study

Abstract

We use the density-matrix renormalization group to study the one-dimensional bosonic Hubbard model, with and without disorder. We obtain the gaps in all phases, certain correlation functions, and the superfluid density. A finite-size-scaling analysis enables us to obtain an accurate phase diagram and the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ function at the superfluid--Mott insulator transition and the Kosterlitz-Thouless essential singularity in the pure case. We also obtain coupling constants used in effective field theories for this system.

Density matrix renormalization group for disordered bosons in one dimension

S Rapsch, U Schollwöck, W. Zwerger

We calculate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the disordered Bose-Hubbard model in one dimension using the density matrix renormalization group. For integer filling the Mott insulator is always separated from the superfluid by a Bose glass phase. There is a re-entrance of the Bose glass both as a function of the repulsive interaction and of disorder. At half-filling where no Mott insulator exists, the superfluid density has a maximum where the kinetic and repulsive energies are about the same. Superfluidity is suppressed both for small and very strong repulsion but is always monotonic in disorder.

Superfluid, Mott-insulator, and mass-density-wave phases in the one-dimensional extended Bose-Hubbard model

Ramesh V. Pai, Rahul Anil Pandit

We use the finite-size, density-matrix-renormalization-group (FSDMRG) method to obtain the phase diagram of the one-dimensional $(d=1)$ extended Bose-Hubbard model for density $\ensuremath{\rho}=1$ in the $U\ensuremath{-}V$ plane, where $U$ and $V$ are, respectively, onsite and nearest-neighbor interactions. The phase diagram comprises three phases: superfluid (SF), Mott insulator (MI), and mass-density-wave (MDW). For small values of $U$ and $V$, we get a reentrant SF-MI-SF phase transition. For intermediate values of interactions the SF phase is sandwiched between MI and MDW phases with continuous SF-MI and SF-MDW transitions. We show, by a detailed, finite-size scaling analysis, that the MI-SF transition is of Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) type whereas the MDW-SF transition has both KT and two-dimensional Ising characters. For large values of $U$ and $V$ we get a direct, first-order, MI-MDW transition. The MI-SF, MDW-SF, and MI-MDW phase boundaries join at a bicritical point at $(U,V)=(8.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05,4.75\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05)$.

Dynamic properties of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

Satoshi Ejima, Holger Fehske, Florian Gebhard

We use the density-matrix renormalization group method to investigate ground-state and dynamic properties of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, the effective model of ultracold bosonic atoms in an optical lattice. For fixed maximum site occupancy n b = 5, we calculate the phase boundaries between the Mott insulator and the "superfluid" phase for the lowest two Mott lobes. We extract the Tomonaga-Luttinger parameter from the density-density correlation function and determine accurately the critical interaction strength for the Mott transition. For both phases, we study the momentum distribution function in the homogeneous system, and the particle distribution and quasi-momentum distribution functions in a parabolic trap. With our zero-temperature method we determine the photoemission spectra in the Mott insulator and in the "superfluid" phase of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model. In the insulator, the Mott gap separates the quasi-particle and quasi-hole dispersions. In the "superfluid" phase the spectral weight is concentrated around zero momentum.

Phases, transitions, and patterns in the one-dimensional Extended Bose-Hubbard model

Jamshid Moradi Kurdestany, Ramesh V. Pai, Subroto Mukerjee +1 more

We carry out an extensive study of the phase diagram of the extended Bose Hubbard model, with a mean filling of one boson per site, in one dimension by using the density matrix renormalization group and show that it can have Superfluid (SF), Mott-insulator (MI), density-wave (DW) and Haldane-insulator (HI) phases depending on the precise value of filling and how edge states are handled. We show that the critical exponents and central charge for the HI-DW, MI-HI and SF-MI transitions are consistent with those for models in the two-dimensional Ising, Gaussian, and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) universality classes, respectively; and we suggest that the SF-HI transition may be more exotic than a simple BKT transition.

One-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor interaction

Till D. Kühner, Steven R. White, H. Monien

We study the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model using the density-matrix renormalization group. For the cases of on-site interactions and additional nearest-neighbor interactions the phase boundaries of the Mott insulators and charge-density wave phases are determined. We find a direct phase transition between the charge-density wave phase and the superfluid phase, and no supersolid or normal phases. In the presence of nearest-neighbor interaction the charge density wave phase is completely surrounded by a region in which the effective interactions in the superfluid phase are repulsive. In this region a single impurity causes the system to be insulating. An even bigger region of the superfluid phase is driven into a Bose-glass phase by any finite quenched disorder. We determine the boundaries of both regions in the phase diagram. The ac conductivity of the superfluid phase in the attractive and the repulsive region is calculated, and a big superfluid stiffness is found in the attractive as well as the repulsive region.

The Mott-Anderson transition in the disordered one-dimensional Hubbard model

Ramesh V. Pai, Alexander Punnoose, Rudolf A. Römer

We use the density matrix renormalization group to study the quantum transitions that occur in the half-filled one-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model with onsite potential disorder. We find a transition from the gapped Mott phase with algebraic spin correlations to a gapless spin-disordered phase beyond a critical strength of the disorder $Δ_c \approx U/2$. Both the transitions in the charge and spin sectors are shown to be coincident. We also establish the finite-size corrections to the charge gap and the spin-spin correlation length in the presence of disorder and using a finite-size-scaling analysis we obtain the zero temperature phase diagram of the various quantum phase transitions that occur in the disorder-interaction plane.
