For the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard theoretical model of condensed matter,the quantum phase transition process of the superfluid-Mott insulation state in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model is realized by continuously changing the depth of the optical lattice well and preparing the temperature of the quantum gas.Through the ultra-cold atomic Time of Flight(TOF) imaging method,the interference pattern of the momentum space of the quantum gas in the diffusion process is analyzed,and the change data of the superfluid component and the Mott insulation state component in the quantum phase transition process are obtained.Experimental results show that the quantum gas in the optical lattice can simulate the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard theoretical model.For the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard theoretical model of condensed matter,the quantum phase transition process of the superfluid-Mott insulation state in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model is realized by continuously changing the depth of the optical lattice well and preparing the temperature of the quantum gas.Through the ultra-cold atomic Time of Flight(TOF) imaging method,the interference pattern of the momentum space of the quantum gas in the diffusion process is analyzed,and the change data of the superfluid component and the Mott insulation state component in the quantum phase transition process are obtained.Experimental results show that the quantum gas in the optical lattice can simulate the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard theoretical model.

Assembling a Bose-Hubbard superfluid from tweezer-controlled single atoms

William J. Eckner, Theodor Lukin Yelin, Alec Cao +4 more

Quantum simulation relies on the preparation and control of low-entropy many-body systems to reveal the behavior of classically intractable models. The development of new approaches for realizing such systems therefore represents a frontier in quantum science. Here we experimentally demonstrate a new protocol for generating ultracold, itinerant many-body states in a tunnel-coupled two-dimensional optical lattice. We do this by adiabatically connecting a near-ground-state-cooled array of up to 50 single strontium-86 atoms with a Bose-Hubbard superfluid. Through comparison with finite-temperature quantum-Monte-Carlo calculations, we estimate that the entropy per particle of the prepared many-body states is approximately $2 k_B$ , and that the achieved temperatures are consistent with a significant superfluid fraction. This represents the first time that itinerant many-body systems have been prepared from rearranged atoms, opening the door to bottom-up assembly of a wide range of neutral-atom and molecular systems.Quantum simulation relies on the preparation and control of low-entropy many-body systems to reveal the behavior of classically intractable models.

Certifying the Adiabatic Preparation of Ultracold Lattice Bosons in the Vicinity of the Mott Transition

Cécile Carcy, Gaétan Hercé, Antoine Ténart +2 more

We present a joint experimental and theoretical analysis to assess the adiabatic experimental preparation of ultracold bosons in optical lattices aimed at simulating the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model. Thermometry of lattice gases is realized from the superfluid to the Mott regime by combining the measurement of three-dimensional momentum-space densities with ab initio quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of the same quantity. The measured temperatures are in agreement with isentropic lines reconstructed via QMC for the experimental parameters of interest, with a conserved entropy per particle of S/N=0.8(1)k_{B}. In addition, the Fisher information associated with this thermometry method shows that the latter is most accurate in the critical regime close to the Mott transition, as confirmed in the experiment. These results prove that equilibrium states of the Bose-Hubbard model-including those in the quantum-critical regime above the Mott transition-can be adiabatically prepared in cold-atom apparatus.We present a joint experimental and theoretical analysis to assess the adiabatic experimental preparation of ultracold bosons in optical lattices aimed at simulating the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model.
