Bosons in Cigar-Shaped Traps: Thomas-Fermi Regime, Tonks-Girardeau Regime, and In Between

Abstract

We present a quantitative analysis of the experimental accessibility of the Tonks-Girardeau gas in present-day experiments with cigar-trapped alkalis. For this purpose we derive, using a Bethe ansatz generated local equation of state, a set of hydrostatic equations describing one-dimensional, delta-interacting Bose gases trapped in a harmonic potential. The resulting solutions cover the entire range of atomic densities.

Evolution from a Bose-Einstein condensate to a Tonks-Girardeau gas: An exact diagonalization study

F. Deuretzbacher, Kai Bongs, K. Sengstock +1 more

We study ground state properties of spinless, quasi one-dimensional bosons which are confined in a harmonic trap and interact via repulsive delta-potentials. We use the exact diagonalization method to analyze the pair correlation function, as well as the density, the momentum distribution, different contributions to the energy and the population of single-particle orbitals in the whole interaction regime. In particular, we are able to trace the fascinating transition from bosonic to fermi-like behavior in characteristic features of the momentum distribution which is accessible to experiments. Our calculations yield quantitative measures for the interaction strength limiting the mean-field regime on one side and the Tonks-Girardeau regime on the other side of an intermediate regime.

Super-Tonks-Girardeau regime in trapped one-dimensional dipolar gases

G. E. Astrakharchik, Yu. E. Lozovik

Possible signatures are discussed of a super-Tonks-Girardeau gas in bosonic systems of trapped quasi-one-dimensional dipoles at zero temperature. We provide an estimation of the frequency of the lowest compressional mode and compare it to analytical results derived using the harmonic approach in the high-density regime. We construct an exact mapping of the ground-state wave function of a one-dimensional dipolar system of bosons, fermions, and a Bose-Fermi mixture and conclude that the local properties and energy are the same at zero temperature. The question as to what extent the dipolar potential can be treated as long or short range is discussed.

Fermi-Bose mapping for one-dimensional Bose gases

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov, Marvin D. Girardeau

One-dimensional Bose gases are considered, interacting either through the hard-core potentials or through the contact delta potentials. Interest in these gases gained momentum because of the recent experimental realization of quasi-one-dimensional Bose gases in traps with tightly confined radial motion, achieving the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) regime of strongly interacting atoms. For such gases the Fermi-Bose mapping of wavefunctions is applicable. The aim of the present communication is to give a brief survey of the problem and to demonstrate the generality of this mapping by emphasizing that: (i) It is valid for nonequilibrium wavefunctions, described by the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, not merely for stationary wavefunctions. (ii) It gives the whole spectrum of all excited states, not merely the ground state. (iii) It applies to the Lieb-Liniger gas with the contact interaction, not merely to the TG gas of impenetrable bosons.

Density-functional theory of two-component Bose gases in one-dimensional harmonic traps

Yajiang Hao, Shu Chen

We investigate the ground-state properties of two-component Bose gases confined in one-dimensional harmonic traps in the scheme of density-functional theory. The density-functional calculations employ a Bethe-ansatz-based local-density approximation for the correlation energy, which accounts for the correlation effect properly from the weakly interacting regime to the strongly interacting regime. For the binary Bose mixture with spin-independent interaction, the homogeneous reference system is exactly solvable by the Bethe-ansatz method. Within the local-density approximation, we determine the density distribution of each component and study its evolution from Bose distributions to Fermi-like distribution with the increase in interaction. For the binary mixture of Tonks-Girardeau gases with a tunable interspecies repulsion, with a generalized Bose-Fermi transformation we show that the Bose mixture can be mapped into a two-component Fermi gas, which corresponds to exact soluble Yang-Gaudin model for the homogeneous system. Based on the ground-state energy function of the Yang-Gaudin model, the ground-state density distributions are calculated for various interspecies interactions. It is shown that with the increase in interspecies interaction, the system exhibits composite-fermionization crossover.

Observation of a One-Dimensional Tonks-Girardeau Gas

Toshiya Kinoshita, Trevor Wenger, David S. Weiss

We report the observation of a one-dimensional (1D) Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas of bosons moving freely in 1D. Although TG gas bosons are strongly interacting, they behave very much like noninteracting fermions. We enter the TG regime with cold rubidium-87 atoms by trapping them with a combination of two light traps. By changing the trap intensities, and hence the atomic interaction strength, the atoms can be made to act either like a Bose-Einstein condensate or like a TG gas. We measure the total 1D energy and the length of the gas. With no free parameters and over a wide range of coupling strengths, our data fit the exact solution for the ground state of a 1D Bose gas.

Bose Gas in One Dimension: Lieb–Liniger Model

Hans-Peter Eckle

Abstract The coordinate Bethe ansatz can be extended to a model, the Lieb–Liniger model, of a one-dimensional gas of Bosons interacting with repulsive δ-function potentials. It has attracted attention due to its relevance for experimental developments in the fields of ultracold gases and optical lattices. This chapter provides an exposition of the related classical nonlinear Schrödinger equation, followed by its generalization to the quantum model. It explores a limiting case, the Tonks-Girardeau gas. The δ-function potentials supply a kind of boundary condition on the wave functions allowing us to analyze the eigenfunctions of the Bethe ansatz, which are examined on the infinite line and for periodic boundary conditions. The latter leads to the Bethe ansatz equations. The solution of these equations is achieved in the thermodynamic limit for the ground state and for low-lying excited states.
