Bogoliubov approach to superfluidity of atoms in an optical lattice

Abstract

We use the Bogoliubov theory of atoms in an optical lattice to study the approach to the Mott-insulator transition. We derive an explicit expression for the superfluid density based on the rigidity of the system under phase variations. This enables us to explore the connection between the quantum depletion of the condensate and the quasi-momentum distribution on the one hand and the superfluid fraction on the other. The approach to the insulator phase may be characterized through the filling of the band by quantum depletion, which should be directly observable via the matter–wave interference patterns. We complement these findings by self-consistent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov–Popov calculations for one-dimensional lattices, including the effects of a parabolic trapping potential.

Superfluidity and interference pattern of ultracold bosons in optical lattices

Robert Roth, Keith R. Burnett

We present a study of the superfluid properties of atomic Bose gases in optical lattice potentials using the Bose-Hubbard model. To do this, we use a microscopic definition of the superfluid fraction based on the response of the system to a phase variation imposed by means of twisted boundary conditions. We compare the superfluid fraction to other physical quantities, i.e., the interference pattern after ballistic expansion, the quasimomentum distribution, and number fluctuations. We have performed exact numerical calculations of all these quantities for small one-dimensional systems. We show that the superfluid fraction alone exhibits a clear signature of the Mott-insulator transition. Observables like the fringe visibility, which probe only ground-state properties, do not provide direct information on superfluidity and the Mott-insulator transition.

Quantum phase transitions in optical lattices beyond Bogoliubov approximation

Hagen M. Kleinert, Zabardast Narzikulov, Abdulla Rakhimov

We study the quantum phase transition in optical lattices using ordinary Bose Hubbard Hamiltonian within two loop approximation in variational perturbation theory. We have shown that this approximation can reproduce superfluid Mott insulator transition in contrast to the simple Bogoliubov or Hartee - Fock - Popov approximations. The superfluid fraction and ground state energy per particle vs input parameters of the model are studied.

Normal and anomalous densities in Bose–Einstein condensates with optical lattices

M. Bendacha, Abdelâali Boudjemâa

We study the quantum phase transition from the superfluid to the Mott insulator state in two- and three-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensate with optical lattices using Bose–Hubbard Hamiltonian within the generalized Hatree–Fock–Bogoliubov approximation. The behavior of the depletion and the anomalous fraction has been investigated in the Mott insulator phase. We found that at T = 0, these quantities become significant in two and three dimensions. It is shown also that the dimensionality of the lattice enhances the anomalous density.

Quantum phase transitions in optical lattices beyond the Bogoliubov approximation

Hagen M. Kleinert, Zabardast Narzikulov, Abdulla Rakhimov

We study the quantum phase transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator in optical lattices using a Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. For this purpose we develop a field theoretical approach in terms of path integral formalism to calculate the second-order quantum corrections to the energy density as well as to the superfluid fraction in cubic optical lattices. Using the present approach, the condensate fraction and ground-state energy are calculated as functions of the $s$-wave scattering length. In contrast to the Bogoliubov model, which is, technically speaking, a one-loop approximation, we carry the calculation up to two loops and improve the result further by variational perturbation theory. The result suggests that the quantum phase transition exists.

Revealing the superfluid–Mott-insulator transition in an optical lattice

V. А. Kashurnikov, Nikolay V. Prokof'ev, Boris V. Svistunov

We study (by an exact numerical scheme) the single-particle density matrix of $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{3}$ ultracold atoms in an optical lattice with a parabolic confining potential. Our simulation is directly relevant to the interpretation and further development of the recent pioneering experiment by Greiner et al., Nature, (London) $415,$ 39 (2002). In particular, we show that restructuring of the spatial distribution of the superfluid component when a domain of Mott-insulator phase appears in the system, results in a fine structure of the particle momentum distribution. This feature may be used to locate the point of the superfluid--Mott-insulator transition.

Bose-Einstein-condensate superfluid–Mott-insulator transition in an optical lattice

Esteban Calzetta, B. L. Hu, Ana María Rey

We present an analytical model for a cold bosonic gas on an optical lattice (with densities of the order of 1 particle per site), targeting the critical regime of the Bose-Einstein-condensate superfluid--Mott-insulator transition. We focus on the computation of the one-body density matrix and its Fourier transform, the momentum distribution which is directly obtainable from ``time-of-flight'' measurements. The expected number of particles with zero momentum may be identified with the condensate population if it is close to the total number of particles. Our main result is an analytic expression for this observable, interpolating between the known results valid for the two regimes separately: the standard Bogoliubov approximation valid in the superfluid regime and the strong-coupling perturbation theory valid in the Mott regime.
