Abstract

We study a model for interacting spinless bosons in one dimension. The bosons are under a hard-core condition, which does not allow two or more bosons in the same site. However, nearestneighbor interactions between bosons ( V ) and hoppings to the nearest empty site ( t ) are allowed. As V increases from a large negative value, the system undergoes a quantum phase transition from a phase-separation (PS) phase to a superfluid (SF) phase because the hopping term overcomes the attractive energy. When V becomes positive and is increased more, the superfluid phase becomes a charge-density-wave (CDW) phase because the repulsive energy blocks the movements of bosons. Via exact diagonalizations, we calculated the ground-state energies, the correlation energies, and the kinetic energies to obtain signatures of the quantum phase transitions. We adopted a fast stateseeking algorithm that enabled us to calculate the ground states and the ground-state energies up to L = 32 more efficiently. Some results are compared with those of quantum Monte Carlo simulations by using stochastic series expansion for the Heisenberg point, and the momentum distribution functions for the three phases are discussed.

A signature of the quantum phase transition in a hard-core boson model in one dimension

Gi Wook Shin, Ji-Woo Lee

We study quantum phase transitions in a hard-core boson model with nearest-neighbor repulsions in one dimension. As we change the repulsive energy, V , between bosons occupying nearest neighbors, the model exhibits a quantum phase transition from a superfluid (SF) to a charge-density-wave (CDW)-type solid phase at half-filling. By using an exact diagonalization method with a modified Lanczos method, we calculate the ground-state energies up to a precision of O (10 −7 ). From the ground-state energies, we obtain the number of dimers by taking numerical derivatives of the groundstate energies. Because the dissolution of the dimers occurs because of the repulsive energy, V , we find a signature of the quantum phase transition from the behaviors of the correlation energy and those of the number of dimers as a function of V .

Momentum distribution of the hard-core extended boson Hubbard model in one dimension

Min-Chul Cha, Jong-Geun Shin, Ji-Woo Lee

We investigate the momentum distribution associated with quantum phase transitions between a superfluid and a charge-density-wave state in the one-dimensional hard-core extended boson Hubbard model at half filling by using the Lanczos exact diagonalization method. The momentum distribution shows distinct features in different regions. At the Heisenberg point, it shows a universal behavior. In the superfluid phase, the Luttinger-liquid parameters are easily obtained from the finite-size scaling behaviors of the zero-momentum occupancy. Also the signature of a charge-density wave can be identified in the insulating phase.

Directional Current-current Correlation Functions in a Two-species Hard-core Bosons in One Dimensional Finite Lattice: An Exact Diagonalization Study

Ji-Woo Lee

We study a model for two-species hard-core bosons in one dimension. In this model, the same-species bosons have a hard-core condition at the same site, while different-species bosons are allowed to occupy the same site with a local interaction U . At half-filling, by Jordan-Wigner transformation, the model can be exactly mapped to a fermionic Hubbard model. Due to this correspondence, the phase transition from superfluid ( U = 0) to Mott insulator ( U > 0) can be explained by simple one-band theory at half-filling. By using an exact diagonalization method adopting a modified Lanczos method, we obtain the ground states as a function of U for the lattice size upto L = 16. We calculate directional current-current correlation functions in this model, which indicate that there are some remaining counter-flow in the Mott insulating region ( U > 0) and co-flow in the charge-density-wave region ( U <0) for the finite lattices.

Phase diagram of interacting bosons on the honeycomb lattice

Stefan Weßel

We study the ground-state properties of repulsively interacting bosons on the honeycomb lattice using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In the hard-core limit, the half-filled system develops long-ranged diagonal order for sufficiently strong nearest-neighbor repulsion. This staggered solid melts at a first-order quantum phase transition into the superfluid phase, without the presence of any intermediate supersolid phase. Within the superfluid phase, both the superfluid density and the compressibility exhibit local minima near the particle (hole) density of one quarter, while the density and the condensate fraction show inflection points in this region. Relaxing the hard-core constraint, supersolid phases emerge for soft-core bosons. The suppression of the superfluid density is found to persist for sufficiently large, finite on-site repulsion.

Hard-Core Bosons on a Two-Dimensional Square Optical Superlattice

李晓娟, 文渝川

In this work,we theoretically study hard-core bosons on a two-dimensional square optical superlattice at T = 0.First of all,we present the mean field phase diagram of this model in terms of the chemical potential μ and the alternating potential strength △.Besides a superfluid(SF) phase at △ = 0 and a charge density wave(CDW)phase in the large △ at half filling,we demonstrate that a supersolid(SS) phase emerges in the moderate △.Then,we focus on the μ = 0,e.g.,half filling case,using large-S semi-classical spin-wave approximation to study the SS to CDW quantum phase transition.In particular,we calculate the ground-state energy and the superfluid density at the level of1/S correction.We then compare the spin-wave results with the large scale quantum Monte Carlo(QMC) simulations using the cluster stochastic series expansion(CSSE) algorithm,and find that while the spin wave method is intuitive with clear physical pictures,the quantum critical point is quite different from that of numerical results which is believed to be accurate.We suggest that as simple as it is,this model still exhibits strong quantum fluctuations near the quantum critical point beyond the power of semiclassical spin-wave approach.

Quantum phase transition in Bose-Holstein model in two dimensions

Sanjoy Datta, Sudhakar Yarlagadda

We derive an effective d-dimensional Hamiltonian for a system of hard-core-bosons coupled to optical phonons in a lattice. Away from half-filling, we show that the presence of next-nearest-neighbor hopping in the effective Hamiltonian leads to a superfluid-to-supersolid transition at intermediate boson-phonon (b-p) couplings, while at strong-couplings the system phase separates. However, at half-filling and at a critical b-p coupling (as in the xxz-model), the system undergoes a superfluid-to-charge-density-wave transition without any signature of supersolidity. Our analyses is based on extensive calculations of the structure factor, the superfluid fraction, the Bose-Einstein condensate fraction, and the system energy at various fillings. We present a phase diagram for this system and compare it to that of the xxz-model. We also demonstrate explicitly that the next-nearest-neighbor hopping (in the absence of nearest-neighbor hopping) in the effective Hamiltonian leads only to a single transition, i.e., a first-order superfluid-to-supersolid transition.
