Quantum-information-theoretical measures to distinguish fermionized bosons from noninteracting fermions

Abstract

We study the dynamical fermionization of strongly interacting one-dimensional bosons in Tonks-Girardeau limit by solving the time-dependent many-boson Schr\"odinger equation numerically exactly. We establish that the one-body momentum distribution approaches the ideal Fermi gas distribution at the time of dynamical fermionization. The analysis is further complemented by the measures on the two-body level. The dynamical fermionization in the two-body level should be inferred as the presence of a distinct correlation hole along the diagonal of two-body correlation. Investigation of two-body momentum distribution for the strongly interacting bosons clearly exhibits a pattern along the diagonal which is not extinguished at the time of fermionization. Two-body local and nonlocal correlation also clearly distinguish the fermionized bosons from noninteracting fermions. The magnitude of distinguishablity between the two systems is further discussed employing suitable measures of information theory, i.e., the well-known Kullback-Leibler relative entropy and the Jensen-Shannon divergence entropy. We also observe very rich structure in the higher-body density for strongly correlated bosons, whereas noninteracting fermions do not possess any higher-order correlation beyond two-body.

Observation of dynamical fermionization

Joshua M. Wilson, Neel Malvania, Yuan Le +3 more

The wave function of a Tonks-Girardeau (T-G) gas of strongly interacting bosons in one dimension maps onto the absolute value of the wave function of a noninteracting Fermi gas. Although this fermionization makes many aspects of the two gases identical, their equilibrium momentum distributions are quite different. We observed dynamical fermionization, where the momentum distribution of a T-G gas evolves from bosonic to fermionic after its axial confinement is removed. The asymptotic momentum distribution after expansion in one dimension is the distribution of rapidities, which are the conserved quantities associated with many-body integrable systems. Our measurements agree well with T-G gas theory. We also studied momentum evolution after the trap depth is suddenly changed to a new nonzero value, and we observed the theoretically predicted bosonic-fermionic oscillations.

How to distinguish fermionized bosons from noninteracting fermions through one-body and two-body density

Sangita Bera, Rhombik Roy, Barnali Chakrabarti

Fermionization is what happens when repulsive interacting bosons in one spatial dimension feel infinite interaction. Due to their strong repulsion the bosons try to minimize their spatial overlap like the fermions. Fermionized bosons and noninteracting fermions resemble each other and we trace these similarities of strongly correlated one-dimensional bosonic systems and fermionic system by exploring their ground state properties using the one- and two-body density matrix in coordinate space. We solve the N-body Schrödinger equation accurately and from first principles using the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree for bosons (MCTDHB) method. Using the one- and two-body density in momentum space, fermionized bosons can be distinguished from noninteracting fermions.

THEORETICAL QUANTUM-INFORMATION PROPERTIES OF NUCLEI AND TRAPPED BOSE GASES

Ch. C. Moustakidis, K. Ch. Chatzisavvas, C. P. PANOS

We will study fermionic systems like atomic nuclei and bosonic systems like the correlated atoms in a trap from an information-theoretical point of view. The Shannon and Onicescu information measures are calculated for the above systems by comparing the correlated and uncorrelated cases as functions of the strength of the short range correlations. One-body and two-body density and momentum distributions are employed. Thus, the effect of short-range correlations on the information content is evaluated. The magnitude of distinguishability between the correlated and uncorrelated densities is also discussed employing suitable measures for the distance of states i.e. the well known Kullback–Leibler relative entropy and the recently proposed Jensen–Shannon divergence entropy. We will see that the same information-theoretical properties hold for quantum many-body systems obeying Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac (statistics).

Quench dynamics of a Tonks-Girardeau gas in one dimensional anharmonic trap

Pankaj Kumar Debnath, Barnali Chakrabarti, M. L. Lekala

Abstract The quench dynamics of strongly interacting bosons on quartic and sextic traps are studied by exactly solving the time-dependent many-boson Schrödinger equation numerically. The dynamics are addressed by the key measures of one-body density in conjugate space and information entropy. For both cases, rich many-body dynamics are exhibited and the loss of the Bose–Fermi oscillation in the Tonks–Girardeau limit is also attributed.

Phases, many-body entropy measures, and coherence of interacting bosons in optical lattices

Rhombik Roy, A. Gammal, Marios C. Tsatsos +3 more

Already a few bosons with contact interparticle interactions in small optical lattices feature a variety of quantum phases: superfluid, Mott-insulator, and fermionized Tonks gases can be probed in such systems. To detect these phases---pivotal for both experiment and theory---as well as their many-body properties we analyze several distinct measures for the one-body and many-body Shannon information entropies. We exemplify the connection of these entropies with spatial correlations in the many-body state by contrasting them to the Glauber normalized correlation functions. To obtain the ground state for lattices with commensurate filling (i.e., an integer number of particles per site) for the full range of repulsive interparticle interactions we utilize the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method for bosons (MCTDHB) in order to solve the many-boson Schr\"odinger equation. We demonstrate that all emergent phases---the superfluid, the Mott insulator, and the fermionized gas can be characterized equivalently by many-body entropy measures and by Glauber's normalized correlation functions. In sharp contrast, single-particle entropy cannot capture these phases.
