Pairing Model and Mixed State Representation. II: Grand Partition Function and Its Mean Field Approximation

A. Kuriyama, João da Providência, Y. Tsue +1 more

In order to compare the approach of the mixed state representation of the pairing model with the exact evaluation of the grand partition function, we introduce the fermion space of a grand canonical ensemble. For the definition of the grand partition function, we adopt a quasi-spin space and evaluate its multiplicity. then we show how to derive the mixed state representation, which yields results that are approximately the same as those of the thermal Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory for the thermal equilibrium state, from the grand partition function under the mean field approximation. We compare numerical results of the mean field approximation with those obtained from the exact evaluation of the grand partition function. We find that the mean field approximation gives good results. However, we find a distinctive difference between the two sets of results in the condensed phase.

Equivalence of the Dicke Maser Model and the Ising Model at Equilibrium

R. W. Gibberd

The equilibrium properties of a system of N two-level atoms interacting with a quantized field, the so-called Dicke model of superradiance, are evaluated exactly by the 'thermodynamically equivalent Hamiltonian' method of Bogoliubov et at. (1957). The results are identical with those obtained by Hepp and Lieb (1973) and Wang and Hioe (1973). The thermodynamically equivalent Hamiltonian is shown to be equivalent to the mean field Hamiltonian of the Ising model, which indicates why the transition from the 'normal' to the 'superradiant' state of the Dicke model is similar to the transition from the disordered to the ordered state of the Ising model.

A mean-field approach to attractive few-body Fermi gas

Morten Piibeleht

Quantum many-body systems can be studied theoretically from first principles using microscopic models, but the computational cost of numerically exact calculations increases exponentially with the number of particles and the complexity of the interaction, limiting the systems that can be analysed. The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) and quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) methods, heavily used in nuclear physics, rely on mean-field approximations but scale more favourably with increasing system size and complexity. In this work we apply these methods to the problem of a two-dimensional harmonically trapped Fermi gas with attractive interactions, with the goal of investigating the validity of the approximations in the few-body limit. We implement the approximate methods in code and then compare them with exact calculations. We find that the HFB method can account for pairing correlations that arise due to the attractive interaction, predicting well the ground state energy even at high interaction strengths. Also, the excitation spectra predicted by the QRPA method qualitatively match the true spectra, reproducing the expected subset of excitations. Finally, we see that perturbative corrections can be used to improve the ground state energy estimate of the HFB.
