Interacting bosons in a three-dimensional lattice

Abstract

Abstract We theoretically investigate the extended Bose–Hubbard model using a three-dimensional cubic lattice. In the framework of the dynamical Gutzwiller mean-field theory, we identify a checkerboard supersolid phase. By considering the repulsive interactions between next-nearest-neighbor lattice sites, we further discover an exotic type of supersolid state, whose site occupancies show a stereoscopically arrayed and staggered distribution rather than checkerboard ordering. Intriguingly, if the physical observations of two neighboring layers were superimposed, they would give rise to a checkerboard configuration. This novel structure is convincingly induced by the simultaneous existence of nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions. We also identify arrayed stripes in the ground state, as well as arrayed holes in the pattern of occupancies.

Two-component bosonic mixtures on the three-dimensional cubic lattice

Dian-Cheng Zhang, Shi-Jie Yang

Abstract We investigate the extended Bose–Hubbard model of two bosonic components, on a cubic lattice. Utilizing the dynamical Gutzwiller mean-field theory, we discover the counterflow supersolid state, characterized by the modulated checkerboard order, critically coexisting with a characteristic of the counterflow superfluid. The standard supersolid state of checkerboard order is further identified. And it could be governed by the phase-separation, via an adjustment of the inter-component interaction. Finally, we also chart out the relevant phase diagram.

Commensurate Supersolid of Three-Dimensional Lattice Bosons

Takahiro Ohgoe, Takafumi Suzuki, Naoki Kawashima

Using an unbiased quantum Monte Carlo method, we obtain convincing evidence of the existence of a checkerboard supersolid at a commensurate filling factor 1/2 (a commensurate supersolid) in the soft-core Bose-Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor repulsions on a cubic lattice. In conventional cases, supersolids are realized at incommensurate filling factors by a doped-defect-condensation mechanism, where particles (holes) doped into a perfect crystal act as interstitials (vacancies) and delocalize in the crystal order. However, in the model, a supersolid state is stabilized even at the commensurate filling factor 1/2 without doping. By performing grand canonical simulations, we obtain a ground-state phase diagram that suggests the existence of a supersolid at a commensurate filling. To obtain direct evidence of the commensurate supersolid, we next perform simulations in canonical ensembles at a particle density ρ=1/2 and exclude the possibility of phase separation. From the obtained snapshots, we discuss its microscopic structure and observe that interstitial-vacancy pairs are unbound in the crystal order.

The supersolidity in a bosonic Lieb lattice

Dian-Cheng Zhang, Changwei Li

We investigate interacting bosons on a two-dimensional Lieb lattice, taking into account kinetic tunneling terms between the nearest-neighboring and next-nearest-neighboring sites. In the frame of a time-dependent variational Gutzwiller method, ground states of the Bose–Hubbard model are accessible site by site. As a consequence, we figure out an exotic type of supersolid phase which particularly features a dual construction, but in the absence of interactions among different lattice sites. This dual supersolid state could be further supported by solving the Bose–Hubbard model via an exact diagonalization method, and feasibly generalized to a limiting case of hardcore bosons. We also map out the phase diagram with the help of the time-dependent variational Gutzwiller method. And it manifests that the regime of dual supersolid state is dominant. • The Bose–Hubbard model on the Lieb lattice is studied. • We identify the dual supersolid without off-site interaction. • We map out the phase diagram of the bosonic Lieb lattice.

Supersolidity from defect condensation in the extended boson Hubbard model

Yi‐Chun Chen, Roger G. Melko, Stefan Weßel +1 more

We study the ground-state phase diagram of the hard-core extended boson Hubbard model on the square lattice with both nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor hoppings and repulsions, using Gutzwiller mean-field theory and quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We observe the formation of supersolid states with checkerboard, striped, and quarter-filled crystal structures when the system is doped away from commensurate fillings. In the striped supersolid phase, a strong anisotropy in the superfluid density is obtained from the simulations; however, the transverse component remains finite, indicating a true two-dimensional superflow. We find that upon doping, the striped supersolid transitions directly into the supersolid with quarter-filled crystal structure, via a first-order stripe melting transition.

Magnetic supersolid phases of two-dimensional extended Bose–Hubbard model with spin–orbit coupling

Dong-Dong Pu, Ji-Guo wang, Ya-Fei Song +1 more

Abstract We investigate the quantum phases and phase transitions for spin–orbit coupled two-species bosons with nearest-neighbor (NN) interaction in a two-dimensional square lattice using inhomogeneous dynamical Guztwiller mean-field method. Under the effect of spin–orbit coupling and NN interaction, we uncover a rich variety of different magnetic supersolid (SS) phases. In the presence of intraspecies NN interaction, the phase diagram exhibits the phase-twisted double-checkerboard SS (PT-DCSS) and phase-striped double-checkerboard SS (PS-DCSS) phases. For both intra- and interspecies NN interactions, apart from the phase-twisted lattice SS (PT-LSS) and phase-striped lattice SS (PS-LSS) phases, some nontrivial SS phases with interesting properties occur. More importantly, we find that the emergences of these nontrivial SS phases are dependent of the interspecies on-site interaction. To further characterize the SS phases, we also discuss the spin-dependent momentum distributions and magnetic textures. The magnetic textures, such as antiferromagnetic, spiral and stripe orders are shown. Finally, we give the fully analytical insights into the numerical results.

Two supersolid phases in hard-core extended Bose–Hubbard model

Yung-Chung Chen, Min-Fong Yang

The effect of the next-nearest-neighbor (nnn) tunneling on the hard-core extended Bose–Hubbard model on square lattices is investigated. By means of the cluster mean-field theory, the ground-state phase diagrams are determined. When a modest nnn tunneling is introduced, depending on its sign, two distinct supersolid (SS) states with checkerboard crystal structures are found away from half-filing. The characters of various phase transitions out of these two SS states are discussed. In particular, for the case with kinetic frustration, the existence of a half SS phase possessing both solid and unconventional superfluid orders is established. Our work hence sheds light on the search of this interesting SS phase in real ultracold lattice gases with frustrated tunnelings.
