Density and pseudo-spin rotons in a bilayer of soft-core bosons

We study the dynamics of a bilayer system of bosons with repulsive soft-core Rydberg-dressed interactions within the mean-field Bogoliubov-de Gennes approximation. We find roton minima in both symmetric and asymmetric collective density modes of the symmetric bilayer. Depending on the density of bosons in each layer and the spacing between two layers, the homogeneous superfluid phase becomes unstable in either (or both) of these two channels, leading to density and pseudo-spin-density wave instabilities in the system. Breaking the symmetry between two layers, either with a finite counterflow or a density imbalance renormalizes the dispersion of collective modes and makes the system more susceptible to density-wave instability.We study the dynamics of a bilayer system of bosons with repulsive soft-core Rydberg-dressed interactions within the mean-field Bogoliubov-de Gennes approximation.

Density-Wave Instability and Collective Modes in a Bilayer System of Dipolar Bosons

E. Akaturk, B. Tanatar, Saeed H. Abedinpour

We consider a bilayer of dipolar bosons in which the polarization of dipoles are perpendicular to the planes. Using accurate static structure factor $S(q)$ data from hypernetted-chain calculation for single layer dipolar bosons we construct effective screened interactions for intralayer particles. We adopt the random-phase approximation for interlayer interactions. We study the instability of the homogeneous bilayer system against the formation of density waves by investigating the poles of the density-density response function. The dispersion of collective modes of this system also signals the density-wave instability. We also investigate the effect of counterflow on the collective mode dispersion and on the density-wave instability and discuss the dissipationless superfluid drag effect in the presence of a background velocity.We consider a bilayer of dipolar bosons in which the polarization of dipoles are perpendicular to the planes.

Counterflow in Bose gas bilayers: Collective modes and dissipationless drag

Saeed H. Abedinpour, B. Tanatar

We investigate the collective density oscillations and dissipationless drag effect in bilayer structures of ultra-cold bosons in the presence of counterflow. We consider different types of inter-particle interactions and obtain the drag coefficient and effect of counterflow on the sound velocity. We observe that counterflow enhances (suppresses) the energy of symmetric (asymmetric) density mode and drives the homogeneous system towards instability. The dependence of the drag coefficient on the spacing between two layers is determined by the form of particle-particle interaction.We investigate the collective density oscillations and dissipationless drag effect in bilayer structures of ultra-cold bosons in the presence of counterflow.

Density-wave instability and collective modes in a bilayer system of antiparallel dipoles

E. Akaturk, Saeed H. Abedinpour, B. Tanatar

We consider a bilayer of dipolar particles in which the polarization of dipoles is perpendicular to the planes, in the antiparallel configuration. Using accurate static structure factor data from hypernetted-chain (HNC) and Fermi HNC calculations, respectively for an isolated layer of dipolar bosons and dipolar fermions, we construct effective screened intralayer interactions. Adopting the random-phase approximation for interlayer interactions, we investigate the instability of these homogeneous bilayer systems towards the formation of density waves by studying the poles of the density–density response function. We have also studied the collective modes of these systems and find that the dispersion of their antisymmetric collective mode signals the emergence of the density wave instability as well.We consider a bilayer of dipolar particles in which the polarization of dipoles is perpendicular to the planes, in the antiparallel configuration.

Evolution of static and dynamical density correlations of one-dimensional soft-core bosons from the Tonks-Girardeau limit to a clustering fluid

Martina Teruzzi, Christian Apostoli, Davide Pini +2 more

Repulsive soft-core atomic systems may undergo clustering if their density is high enough that core overlap is unavoidable. In one-dimensional bosonic quantum systems, it has been shown that this instability triggers a transition from a Luttinger liquid to various cluster Luttinger liquids. Here, we focus on the Luttinger liquid regime and theoretically study the evolution of key observables related to density fluctuations, which manifest a striking dependence on density. We tune the interaction so that the low-density regime corresponds to a Tonks-Girardeau gas and show that as the density is increased the system departs more and more from Tonks-Girardeau behavior, displaying a much larger compressibility as well as rotonic excitations that finally drive the clustering transition. We compare various theoretical approaches, which are accurate in different regimes. Using quantum Monte Carlo methods and analytic continuation as a benchmark, we investigate the regime of validity of the mean-field Bogoliubov and the real-time multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree-Fock approaches. Part of the behavior that we describe should be observable in ultracold Rydberg-dressed gases, provided that system losses are prevented.Repulsive soft-core atomic systems may undergo clustering if their density is high enough that core overlap is unavoidable.
