Fermion-induced decoherence of bosons in optical lattices

Abstract

Bose-Fermi mixtures with attractive Bose-Fermi interactions in one-dimensional optical lattices are studied by using Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of an extended Bose-Fermi Hubbard model. We first derived the extended Hubbard model with the hopping terms of each species modified to include interaction effects. Bosonic Mott transition induced by introducing fermions into bosons is demonstrated by the simulations.

Mott Transition of Bose–Fermi Mixtures in Optical Lattices Induced by Attractive Interactions

Akiko Masaki, 弘之 森

We numerically studied Bose–Fermi mixtures in one-dimensional optical lattices using a modified Bose–Fermi–Hubbard model. We derived the modified Bose–Fermi–Hubbard model in a tight-binding approximation, retaining the terms which were usually ignored. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations were then performed on the model to demonstrate a bosonic Mott transition of the Bose–Fermi mixtures. This gives another scenario of the fermion-induced decoherence of bosons observed in some experiments.

Quantum Monte Carlo simulation of three-dimensional Bose-Fermi mixtures

Arata Yamamoto, Tetsuo Hatsuda

Exploratory simulations of Bose-Fermi mixtures on the three-dimensional optical lattice at finite temperature are performed by adopting the lattice quantum chromodynamics technique. We analyze the bosonic superfluid transition and its dependence on the strength of the boson-fermion coupling. The particle densities and the pair occupancies are also studied to understand the effect of the boson-fermion coupling to the microscopic properties of the system. The effect of the induced fermion-fermion interaction by the boson density fluctuation is clearly seen.

Trapped Bose-Fermi mixture in an optical lattice

Akiko Masaki, Sota Tsukada, 弘之 森

We study distinctive features of local Mott insulator of trapped Bose-Fermi mixture systems on an optical lattice by using Monte-Carlo simulations of one-dimensional Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model. It was found that each species of the bosons and the fermions in a Mott insulator state had a finite stiffness but the density correlation function exhibited a quasi-long-range-order. This strongly suggested that in actual experiments the bosons and fermions of a commensurate filling with the lattice sites would form a Mott insulator state under strong interatomic interactions and have an order in their positional configuration.

Superfluid and Mott-insulator phases of one-dimensional Bose-Fermi mixtures

Aleksander Zujev, A. Baldwin, Richard T. Scalettar +3 more

We study the ground state phases of Bose-Fermi mixtures in one-dimensional optical lattices with quantum Monte Carlo simulations using the canonical worm algorithm. Depending on the filling of bosons and fermions, and the on-site intra- and interspecies interaction, different kinds of incompressible and superfluid phases appear. On the compressible side, correlations between bosons and fermions can lead to a distinctive behavior of the bosonic superfluid density and the fermionic stiffness, as well as of the equal-time Green functions, which allow one to identify regions where the two species exhibit anticorrelated flow. We present here complete phase diagrams for these systems at different fillings and as a function of the interaction parameters.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of the visibility of one-dimensional Bose-Fermi mixtures

Christopher N. Varney, V. G. Rousseau, Richard T. Scalettar

The study of ultracold optically trapped atoms has opened new vistas in the physics of correlated quantum systems. Much attention has now turned to mixtures of bosonic and fermionic atoms. A central puzzle is the disagreement between the experimental observation of a reduced bosonic visibility ${\mathcal{V}}_{b}$, and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations which show ${\mathcal{V}}_{b}$ increasing. In this paper, we present QMC simulations which evaluate the density profiles and ${\mathcal{V}}_{b}$ of mixtures of bosons and fermions in one-dimensional optical lattices. We resolve the discrepancy between theory and experiment by identifying parameter regimes where ${\mathcal{V}}_{b}$ is reduced, and where it is increased. We present a simple qualitative picture of the different response to the fermion admixture in terms of the superfluid and Mott-insulating domains before and after the fermions are included. Finally, we show that ${\mathcal{V}}_{b}$ exhibits kinks which are tied to the domain evolution present in the pure case, and also additional structure arising from the formation of boson-fermion molecules, a prediction for future experiments.

Phase Diagram of Bose-Fermi Mixtures in One-Dimensional Optical Lattices

Lode Pollet, Matthias Troyer, Kris Van Houcke +1 more

The ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Bose-Fermi Hubbard model is studied in the canonical ensemble using a quantum Monte Carlo method. We focus on the case where both species have half filling in order to maximize the pairing correlations between the bosons and the fermions. In case of equal hopping we distinguish among phase separation, a Luttinger liquid phase, and a phase characterized by strong singlet pairing between the species. True long-range density waves exist with unequal hopping amplitudes.
