Coherence of Disordered Bosonic Gas with Two- and Three-Body Interactions

Abstract

We theoretically and numerically investigate the coherence of disordered bosonic gas with effective two- and three-body interactions within a two-site Bose–Hubbard model. By properly adjusting the two- and three-body interactions and the disorder, the coherence of the system exhibits new and interesting phenomena, including the resonance character of coherence against the disorder in the purely two- or three-body interactions system. More interestingly, the disorder and three-body interactions together can suppress the coherence of the purely three-body interactions system, which is different from the case in which the disorder and two-body interactions together can enhance the coherence in certain values of two-body interaction. Furthermore, when two- or three-body interactions are attractive or repulsive, the phase coherence exhibits completely different phenomena. In particular, if two- or three-body interactions are attractive, the coherence of the system can be significantly enhanced in certain regions. Correspondingly, the phase coherence of the system is strongly related to the effective interaction energy. The results provide a possible way for studying the coherence of bosonic gas with multi-atoms' interactions in the presence of the disorder.

The quantum coherence of disordered dipolar bosonic gas

Ji-Guo Wang, Ai‐Xia Zhang, Rong-An Tang +2 more

We investigate the coherence of correlated dipolar gas in the presence of disorder within a three-site Bose–Hubbard model. We show that the interplay between the on-site interaction, the inter-site dipole–dipole interactions (DDI) and the disorder exhibits new and interesting coherence characters that cannot take place in a non-dipolar system. The ratio between the on-site interaction and DDI plays a dominant role in the phase coherence. The resonance character of the coherence against both disorder and interactions emerges. DDI can enhance the coherence at certain values of the disorder and on-site interaction. In the coherence region, the enhancement of the coherence by disorder in a dipolar system is more significant than that in a non-dipolar system. In particular, the on-site interaction and DDI together can enhance the coherence even in the clean dipolar system (i.e. a dipolar system without disorder). However, without the on-site interaction, disorder, DDI or both together suppress the coherence. Furthermore, the relationship between the coherence and the energy gap and the compressibility of the system is also discussed.

Bosons in a double-well potential: Understanding the interplay between disorder and interaction in a simple model

Qi Zhou, S. Das Sarma

We propose an exactly solvable model to reveal the physics of the interplay between interaction and disorder in bosonic systems. Considering interacting bosons in a double-well potential, in which disorder is mimicked by taking the energy level mismatch between the two wells to be randomly distributed, we find a ``two negatives make a positive'' effect. While disorder or interaction by itself suppresses the phase coherence between the two wells, both together enhance the phase coherence. This model captures several striking features of the disordered Bose-Hubbard model found in recent numerical simulations. Results at finite temperatures may help explain why a recent experiment did not find any evidence for the enhancement of phase coherence in a disordered bosonic system.

The coherence of boson–fermion mixed system

Ji-Guo Wang, Ju-Kui Xue

In this paper, we investigate the quantum coherence of Bose–Fermi mixtures of ultracold dipolar particles trapped in a three-site Bose–Fermi–Hubbard model. We show that the interplay between the boson–boson on-site interaction, boson–fermion on-site interaction, and boson–fermion inter-site dipole–dipole interaction (DDI) results in interesting coherence characters. When boson–boson on-site interaction is present, the resonance character of coherence against both boson–fermion DDI and boson–fermion on-site interaction emerges, the coherence of the system can be enhanced at certain values of boson–fermion on-site interaction and boson–fermion DDI. DDI of fermion–fermion affects the coherence weak and the phase coherence decreases monotonically for all the values of fermion–fermion DDI. The obtained coherent characters are further confirmed within the variational analyzing of the ground state energy.

Disorder, three body interaction and Bose glass phase in a spinor atomic gas in an optical lattice

Sk Noor Nabi, Saurabh Basu

We study the effects of disorder on the spin dependent interaction term of a spinor Bose Hubbard model with a three body interaction potential. The signature of the Bose glass (BG) phase is observed by computing the fraction of the lattice sites having finite superfluid (SF) order parameter and non integer occupation densities. We obtain the phase diagram both for the antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferromagnetic (F) cases via a percolation analysis. In the AF case, the BG phase intervenes between the odd-even Mott insulating (MI) lobes (for example, the lobes corresponding to occupation densities, n=1 and (n=2) but not between the even-odd MI lobes. In the ferromagnetic case, the presence of the BG phase is observed between all the MI lobes irrespective of them being even or odd. The BG phase almost destroys the first MI lobe while the MI phase looks more stable than the SF phase both in the AF and F cases due to the presence of the three body interactions.

Phases of the disordered Bose-Hubbard model with attractive interactions

Olli Mansikkamäki, Sami Laine, Matti Silveri

We study the quantum ground-state phases of the one-dimensional disordered Bose-Hubbard model with attractive interactions, realized by a chain of superconducting transmon qubits or cold atoms. We map the phase diagram using perturbation theory and exact diagonalization. Compared to the repulsive Bose-Hubbard model, the quantum ground-state behavior is dramatically different. At strong disorder of the on-site energies, all the bosons localize into the vicinity of a single site, contrary to the Bose glass behavior of the repulsive model. At weak disorder, depending on hopping, the ground state is either superfluid or a $W$ state, which is a multisite and multiparticle entangled superposition of states where all the bosons occupy a single site. We show that the robustness of the $W$ phase against disorder diminishes as the total number of bosons increases.

Interplay of Anderson localization and strong interactions in disordered systems

Peter Henseler

We study the interplay of disorder localization and strong local interactions within the Anderson-Hubbard model. Taking into account local Mott-Hubbard physics and static screening of the disorder potential, the system is mapped onto an effective single-particle Anderson model, which is studied within the self-consistent theory of electron localization. For fermions, we find rich nonmonotonic behavior of the localization length ξ, particularly in two-dimensional systems, including an interaction-induced exponential enhancement of ξ for small and intermediate disorders and a strong reduction of ξ due to hopping suppression by strong interactions. In three dimensions, we identify for half filling a Mott-Hubbard-assisted Anderson localized phase existing between the metallic and the Mott-Hubbardgapped phases. For small U there is re-entrant behavior from the Anderson localized phase to the metallic phase. For bosons, the unrestricted particle occupation number per lattice site yields a monotonic enhancement of ξ as a function of decreasing interaction, which we assume to persist until the superfluid Bose- Einstein condensate phase is entered. Besides, we study cold atomic gases expanding, by a diffusion process, in a weak random potential. We show that the density-density correlation function of the expanding gas is strongly affected by disorder and we estimate the typical size of a speckle spot, i.e., a region of enhanced or depleted density. Both a Fermi gas and a Bose-Einstein condensate (in a mean-field approach) are considered.
