Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory of trapped one-dimensional imbalanced Fermi systems

Kelly R. Patton, Daniel E. Sheehy

Ground-state Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory is applied to imbalanced spin-$1/2$ one-dimensional (1D) Fermi systems that are spatially confined by either a harmonic or a hard-wall trapping potential. It has been hoped that such systems, which can be realized using ultracold atomic gases, would exhibit the long-sought-after Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superfluid phase. The HFB formalism generalizes the standard Bogoliubov quasiparticle transformation by allowing for Cooper pairing to exist between all possible single-particle states and accounts for the effects of the inhomogeneous trapping potential as well as the mean-field Hartree potential. This provides an unbiased framework to describe inhomogeneous densities and pairing correlations in the FFLO state of a confined 1D gas. In a harmonic trap, numerical minimization of the HFB ground-state energy yields a spatially oscillating order parameter reminiscent of the FFLO state. However, we find that this state has almost no imprint in the local fermion densities (consistent with experiments that found no evidence of the FFLO phase). In contrast, for a hard-wall geometry, we find a strong signature of the spatial oscillations of the FFLO pairing amplitude reflected in the local in situ densities. In the hard-wall case, the excess spins are strongly localized near regions where there is a node in the pairing amplitude, creating an unmistakable crystalline modulation of the density.

Many-body computations by stochastic sampling in Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov space

Hao Shi, Shiwei Zhang

We describe the computational ingredients for an approach to treat interacting fermion systems with pairing fields, based on path integrals in the space of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) wave functions. The path integrals can be evaluated by Monte Carlo, via random walks of HFB wave functions whose orbitals evolve stochastically. The approach combines the advantage of HFB theory in paired fermion systems and many-body quantum Monte Carlo techniques. The properties of HFB states, written in the form of either product states or Thouless states, are discussed. The states preserve forms when propagated by generalized one-body operators. They can be stabilized for numerical iteration. Overlaps and one-body Green's functions between two such states can be computed. A constrained-path or phaseless approximation can be applied to the random walks of the HFB states if a sign problem or phase problem is present. The method is illustrated with an exact numerical projection in the Kitaev model, and in the Hubbard model with attractive interaction under an external pairing field.

Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory of dipolar Fermi gases

Cheng Zhao, Lei Jiang, Xunxu Liu +3 more

We apply the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory to a system of uniform dipolar fermionic polar molecules, which recently has attracted much attention due to rapid experimental progress in achieving such systems. By calculating the anisotropic superfluid-order parameter and the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$, we show that high-${T}_{c}$ superfluid can be achieved with a quite modest value of interaction strength for polar molecules. In addition, we also show that the presence of the Fock-exchange interaction enhances superfluid pairing.
