Density-wave–supersolid and Mott-insulator–superfluid transitions in the presence of an artificial gauge field: A strong-coupling perturbation approach

Rashi Sachdeva, Sankalpa Ghosh

We study the effect of an artificial gauge field on the zero-temperature phase diagram of an extended Bose-Hubbard model that describes ultracold atoms in optical lattices with long-range interactions by using strong-coupling perturbation theory. We determine analytically the effect of the artificial gauge field on the density-wave--supersolid (DW-SS) and the Mott-insulator--superfluid (MI-SF) transition boundary. The momentum distribution at these two transition boundaries is also calculated in this approach. It is shown that such a momentum distribution, which can be observed in time-of-flight measurements, reveals the symmetry of the gauge potential through the formation of a magnetic Brillouin zone and clearly distinguishes between the DW-SS and MI-SF boundary. We also point out that, in a symmetric gauge, the momentum distribution structure at these transition boundaries bears distinctive signatures of vortices in supersolid and superfluid phases.

Quantum phase transition of ultracold bosons in the presence of a non-Abelian synthetic gauge field

Tobias Graß, Kush Saha, K. Sengupta +1 more

We study the Mott phases and the superfluid-insulator transition of two-component ultracold bosons on a square optical lattice in the presence of a non-Abelian synthetic gauge field, which renders a SU(2)-hopping matrix for the bosons. Using a resummed hopping expansion, we calculate the excitation spectra in the Mott insulating phases and demonstrate that the superfluid-insulator phase boundary displays a nonmonotonic dependence on the gauge-field strength. We also compute the momentum distribution of the bosons in the presence of the non-Abelian field and show that they develop peaks at nonzero momenta as the superfluid-insulator transition point is approached from the Mott side. Finally, we study the superfluid phases near the transition and discuss the induced spatial pattern of the superfluid density due to the presence of the non-Abelian gauge potential.
