Random phase approximation and cluster mean field studies of hard core Bose Hubbard model

Abstract

We investigate zero temperature and finite temperature properties of the Bose Hubbard Model in the hard core limit using Random Phase Approximation (RPA) and Cluster Mean Field Theory (CMFT). We show that our RPA calculations are able to capture quantum and thermal fluctuations significantly better than CMFT.

Cluster mean field plus density matrix renormalization theory for the Bose Hubbard models

Pallavi P. Gaude, Ananya Das, Ramesh V. Pai

Abstract The cluster mean-field with density matrix renormalization (CMFT + DMRG) method which combines the simplicity of the mean-field theory and the numerical power of the density-matrix renormalization group method is applied to understand the quantum phases of the one-dimensional Bose–Hubbard models. We show that the CMFT + DMRG method is an effective numerical technique with moderate computational resources to determine relevant order parameters and correlation functions of large one-dimensional systems. We apply the CMFT + DMRG for the Bose Hubbard and extended Bose Hubbard models to account for the superfluid, Mott insulator, and density wave phases in these models. Our results are in good agreement with the known phase diagram of these models, demonstrating the efficacy of this method.

Superfluid and Insulating Phases in an Interacting-Boson Model: Mean-Field Theory and the RPA

K. Sheshadri, H. R. Krishnamurthy, Rahul Anil Pandit +1 more

The bosonic Hubbard model is studied via a simple mean-field theory. At zero temperature, in addition to yielding a phase diagram that is qualitatively correct, namely a superfluid phase for non-integer fillings and a Mott transition from a superfluid to an insulating phase for integer fillings, this theory gives results that are in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, the superfluid fraction obtained as a function of the interaction strength U for both integer and non-integer fillings is close to the simulation results. In all phases the excitation spectra are obtained by using the random phase approximation (RPA): the spectrum has a gap in the insulating phase and is gapless (and linear at small wave vectors) in the superfluid phase. Analytic results are presented in the limits of large U and small superfluid density. Finite-temperature phase diagrams and the Mott-insulator-normal-phase crossover are also described.

Melting of Mott phases in spin-1 Bose Hubbard model

Bhargav K. Alavani, Ananya Das, Ramesh V. Pai

The Cluster Mean Field theory calculation is extended for finite temperatures to study the combined effect of quantum and thermal fluctuations on various phases arising in the spin-1 Bose Hubbard model. This investigation finds that the polar nature of the superfluid phase persists, and the density of bosons with spin component σ = 0 increases with the temperature. The phase diagram is obtained and compared with that of the single-site mean-field theory. Compressibility shows a signature of divergence at the transition from the polar superfluid phase to the normal bose liquid phase. Small thermal fluctuations are sufficient to destroy the anti-ferromagnetic, maximally entangled odd density Mott insulator phase, whereas large thermal fluctuations are needed to break the singlet formed in the even density Mott insulator phase. However, in both the cases, the insulators melt to normal bose liquid at the same temperature.

Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model at finite temperature

T. S. Mysakovych

The phase transitions at finite temperatures in the systems described by the Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model are investigated in this work in the framework of the selfconsistent random phase approximation. The case of the hard-core bosons is considered and pseudospin formalism is used. The density-density correlator is calculated in the random phase approximation and the possibilities of transitions from superfluid to supersolid phases are investigated. It is shown that the transitions between uniform and charge ordered phases can be of the second or the first order, depending on the system parameters.

Random-Phase-Approximation Excitation Spectra for Bose-Hubbard Models

Jamshid Moradi Kurdestany, Ramesh V. Pai, Rahul Anil Pandit

We obtain the excitation spectra of the following three generalized Bose-Hubbard (BH) models: (1) a two-species generalization of the spinless BH model, (2) a single-species, spin-1 BH model, and (3) the extended Bose-Hubbard model (EBH) for spinless interacting bosons of one species. In all the phases of these models we provide a unified treatment of random-phase-approximation (RPA) excitation spectra. These spectra have gaps in all the MI phases and gaps in the DW phases in the EBH model; they are gapless in all the SF phases in these models and in the SS phases in the EBH model. We obtain the dependence of (a) gaps $Δ$ and (b) the sound velocity $u_s$ on the parameters of these models and examine $Δ$ and $u_s$ as these systems go through phase transitions. At the SF-MI transitions in the spin-1 BH model, $u_s$ goes to zero continuously (discontinuously) for MI phases with an odd (even) number of bosons per site; this is consistent with the natures of these transition in mean-field theory. In the SF phases of these models, our excitation spectra agree qualitatively, at weak couplings, with those that can be obtained from Gross-Pitaevskii-type models. We compare the results of our work with earlier studies of related models and discuss implications for experiments.
