One-Dimensional Mott Insulator Formed by Quantum Vortices in Josephson Junction Arrays

Alexander van Oudenaarden, Johan E. Mooij

The quantum transport of vortices in very long and narrow arrays of small Josephson junctions has been studied experimentally. The chemical potential of the system can be changed by an external magnetic field. When the vortex density is commensurate with the one-dimensional junction lattice, the vortex mobility vanishes for a finite window of the magnetic field. The localization of the vortices is due to the forming of a one-dimensional Mott insulator.

Melting of a Bosonic Mott Insulator in Kagome Optical Lattices with Sign-Inverted Hopping

Kazuma Nagao, Daisuke Yamamoto, Seiji Yunoki +1 more

Using the discrete truncated Wigner approximation (dTWA), we investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of ultracold bosons confined in optical kagome lattices, focusing on both unfrustrated positive and frustrated negative hopping regimes. We consider a protocol in which the system is initialized in a Mott insulating state at unit filling, and the hopping amplitude is gradually increased from zero. For positive hopping, the melting of the Mott insulator is accompanied by the emergence of a sharp peak in the momentum distribution at the $Γ$ point of the lowest band, signaling the onset of superfluidity. In contrast, for negative hopping, the Mott insulator melts into a highly nontrivial state without long-range phase coherence, characterized instead by a broad momentum distribution within the flat band, consistent with recent experimental observations. These results demonstrate the applicability of dTWA to highly frustrated quantum systems and offer a new route for numerically exploring the dynamics of frustrated quantum magnets.
