Inter-species entanglement of Bose–Bose mixtures trapped in optical lattices

Abstract

In the present work we discuss inter-species entanglement in Bose–Bose mixtures trapped in optical lattices. This work is motivated by the observation that, in the presence of a second component, the MI lobe shifts differently on the hole- and particle-side with respect to the Mott lobe of the single species system (Guglielmino et al 2010 Phys. Rev. A 82 021601 ; Capogrosso-Sansone et al 2011 Laser Phys. 21 1443 ). We use perturbation theory, formulated in a Hilbert space decomposed by means of lattice symmetries, in order to show that the nonuniform shift of the Mott lobe is a manifestation of inter-species entanglement which differs in the lowest excited states to remove and add a particle. Our results indicate that inter-species entanglement in mixtures can provide a new perspective in understanding quantum phase transitions. To validate our approach, we compare our results from perturbation theory with quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

Wei Wang, Vittorio Penna, Barbara Capogrosso-Sansone

In the present work we discuss inter-species entanglement in Bose-Bose mixtures trapped in optical lattices. This work is motivated by the observation that, in the presence of a second component, the Mott-insulator lobe shifts {\em{differently}} on the hole- and particle-side with respect to the Mott lobe of the single species system (Phys. Rev. A 82, 021601, Laser Phys. 21, 1443). We use perturbation theory, formulated in a Hilbert space decomposed by means of lattice symmetries, in order to show that the nonuniform shift of the Mott lobe is a consequence of an inter-species entanglement which differs in the lowest excited states to remove and add a particle. Our results indicate that inter-species entanglement in mixtures can provide a new perspective in understanding quantum phase transitions. To validate our approach, we compare our results from perturbation theory with quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

GROUND STATE ENTANGLEMENT IN 2D STRONGLY INTERACTING BOSE-HUBBARD-TYPE MODELS

Wei Wang

In this dissertation, I present my work on ground state entanglement in Bose-Hubbard-type models. Bose-Hubbard-type models form a wide class of bosonic lattice models and describe systems that can be realized by cold atoms or molecules trapped in optical lattices. By studying ground state entanglement, one can understand quantum phases and phase transitions among them from a microscopic point of view. I will first introduce the two-component Bose-Hubbard model describing Bose-Bose mixtures, and discuss the role played by the interspecies entanglement in the Mott-insulator-to-superfluid phase transition of one component in the presence of a second component. I will show that interspecies entanglement provides a new perspective to understand quantum phases in mixtures. Then I will discuss long-range spatial entanglement in single-species Bose-Hubbard-type models. Specifically, I will build a generic framework for understanding under which conditions these models harbor certain types of topological order. My results provide guidance for future numerical studies which can pave the way for searching experimentally realizable bosonic lattice models harboring nontrivial topological order.

Strongly interacting two-component coupled Bose gas in optical lattices

Sagarika Basak, Han Pu

Two-component coupled Bose gas in a 1D optical lattice is examined. In addition to the postulated Mott insulator and superfluid phases, multiple bosonic components manifest spin degrees of freedom. Coupling of the components in the Bose gas leads to substantial changes in the previously observed spin phases, giving rise to a new effective spin Hamiltonian and unraveling remarkable spin correlations. The system in the absence of coupling exhibits ferromagnetic and nonferromagnetic spin phases for on-site intracomponent interaction stronger than intercomponent interaction. Upon introduction of coupling, the phase transition switches from first to second order. For comparable on-site inter- and intracomponent interactions, with coupling, instead of one, two spin phases emerge with a second-order phase transition. Exact diagonalization and variational Monte Carlo with stochastic minimization on the entangled-plaquette state bestow a unique and enhanced perspective on the system beyond the scope of a mean-field treatment.

Mott-insulator–to–superfluid transition in Bose-Bose mixtures in a two-dimensional lattice

Marco Guglielmino, Vittorio Penna, Barbara Capogrosso-Sansone

We perform a numeric study (worm algorithm Monte Carlo simulations) of ultracold two-component bosons in two-dimensional optical lattices. We study how the Mott-insulator--to--superfluid transition is affected by the presence of a second superfluid bosonic species. We find that, at fixed interspecies interaction, the upper and lower boundaries of the Mott lobe are differently modified. The lower boundary is strongly renormalized even for relatively low filling factor of the second component and moderate (interspecies) interaction. The upper boundary, instead, is affected only for large enough filling of the second component. Whereas boundaries are renormalized we find evidence of polaron-like excitations. Our results are of interest for current experimental setups.

Bose-Bose mixtures in an optical lattice: First-order superfluid-insulator transition and elementary excitations

Takeshi Ozaki, Ippei Danshita, Tetsuro Nikuni

We study ground-state phase diagrams and excitation spectra of Bose-Bose mixtures in an optical lattice by applying the Gutzwiller approximation to the two-component Bose-Hubbard model. A case of equal hoppings and equal intra-component interactions for both components is considered. Due to the existence of inter-component interaction, there appear several quantum phases, such as the superfluid, paired superfluid, and counterflow superfluid phases. We find that the transition from superfluid (SF) to Mott insulator (MI) with even filling factors can be of the first order for a wide range of the chemical potential. We calculate the excitation spectra as a useful probe to identify the quantum phases and the SF-to-MI transitions. In the excitation spectra of the SF phase, there are two gapless modes and a few gapful modes, which respectively correspond to phase and amplitude fluctuations of the order parameters. At the SF-to-MI transition point, we show that the energy gaps of certain amplitude modes reach zero for the second-order transition while they remain finite for the first-order one. Since the excitation spectrum can be measured by the Bragg scattering, we calculate the dynamical structure factor by using the linear response theory. We consider three types of density fluctuations, and show that the density fluctuations are coupled to different excitation branches in different quantum phases.
