QUANTUM MONTE CARLO STUDY OF BOSONIC LATTICE SYSTEMS IN THE PRESENCE OF DISORDER

Chao Zhang

Disorder is ubiquitous in condensed matter systems, but a thorough understanding of these systems is hindered by poor control over the nature of disorder and competing interactions. Ultracold gases trapped in optical lattices, on the other hand, offer an unprecedented level of control over interactions and disorder, and are ideal candidates to test theoretical predictions and study fascinating phenomena resulting from the interplay between disorder, interaction, and quantum degeneracy. In this dissertation, I present my research on strongly correlated many-body lattice bosons in the presence of disordered potentials. My results are based on quantum Monte Carlo simulations by the Worm algorithm. Experimentally, lattice bosons can be realized by ultracold gases in optical lattices. I studied the ground state phase diagram of the above systems in the presence of diagonal (quasi-periodic disordered potential or random disordered potential) and off-diagonal disorder (in the form of site dilution). First, I will discuss the ground state phase diagram of two-dimensional bosons in quasi-periodic lattices. Then, I will discuss the phase diagram as well as finite temperature thermodynamic properties of two-dimensional dipolar lattice bosons in the presence of random diagonal disordered potentials. Finally, I will discuss the phase diagram of two-dimensional hard-core lattice bosons system in the presence of long-range hopping and long-range two-body interactions both in the absence of disorder and in the presence of site dilution (equivalent to off-diagonal disorder). This system is equivalent to the long-range XXZ model as realized by polar molecules trapped in a deep optical lattice. These results provide theoretical guidance for experimentalists to find quantum phase transitions as well as exotic quantum phases in strongly correlated bosonic lattice systems.

Localization versus incommemsurability for finite boson system in one-dimensional disordered lattice

Barnali Chakrabarti, A. Gammal

We explore the effect of disorder on a few-boson system in a finite one-dimensional quasiperiodic potential covering the full interaction ranging from uncorrelated to strongly correlated particles. We apply numerically exact multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree for bosons to obtain the few-body emergent states in a finite lattice for both commensurate and incommensurate filling factors. The detailed characterization is done by the measures of one- and two-body correlations, fragmentation, order parameter. For commensurate filling, we trace the conventional fingerprints of disorder induced localization in the weakly interacting limit, however we observe robustness of fragmented and strongly correlated Mott in the disordered lattice. For filling factor smaller than one, we observe existing delocalization fraction of particles interplay in a complex way. For strongly interacting limit, the introduced disorder drags the fragmented superfluid of primary lattice to Mott localization. For filling factor larger than one in the primary lattice, the extra delocalization always resides on commensurate background of Mott-insulator. We observe beyond Bose-Hubbard physics in the fermionization limit when the pairing bosons fragment into two orbitals -- Mott dimerization happens. The introduced disorder first relocates the dimers, then strong disorder starts to interfere with the background Mott correlation. These findings unlock a rich landscape of unexplored localization process in the quasiperiodic potentials and pave the way for engineering exotic quantum many-body states with ultracold atoms.

Disordered ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: A case study of Fermi-Bose mixtures

V. Ahufinger, Laurent Sanchez-Palencia, Adrian Kantian +2 more

We present a review of properties of ultracold atomic Fermi-Bose mixtures in inhomogeneous and random optical lattices. In the strong interacting limit and at very low temperatures, fermions form, together with bosons or bosonic holes, composite fermions. Composite fermions behave as a spinless interacting Fermi gas, and in the presence of local disorder they interact via random couplings and feel effective random local potential. This opens a wide variety of possibilities of realizing various kinds of ultracold quantum disordered systems. In this paper we review these possibilities, discuss the accessible quantum disordered phases, and methods for their detection. The discussed quantum phases include Fermi glasses, quantum spin glasses, ``dirty'' superfluids, disordered metallic phases, and phases involving quantum percolation.
