Generalization of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory: one and two quasiparticle excitations

Abstract

We present a generalization of the Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov (HFB) theory in which the coupling between one and two quasi-particles is taken into account.This is done by writing the excitation operators as linear combinations of one and two HFB quasi-particles. The excitation energies and the quasi-particle amplitudes are given by generalized Bogoliubov equations. The excitation spectrum has two branches. The first one is a discrete branch which is gapless and has a phonon character at large wave-length and, contrarily to HFB, is always stable. This branch is detached from a continuum branch whose threshold, at fixed total momentum, coincides with the two quasi-particle threshold of the HFB theory. The gap between these two branches at P=0 is equal to two times the HFB gap, which then provides for the relevant energy scale. We also give numerical results for a specific case.

Extended Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov theory for degenerate Bose systems

An extension of the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) theory of degenerate Bose systems in which the coupling between one and two quasi-particles is taken into account is developed. The excitation operators are written as linear combinations of one and two HFB quasi-particles. Excitation energies and quasi-particle amplitudes are given by generalized Bogoliubov equations. The excitation spectrum has two branches. The first one is a discrete branch which is gapless and has a phonon character at large wavelength and, contrarily to HFB, is always stable. This branch is detached from a second, continuum branch whose threshold, at fixed total momentum, coincides with the two quasi-particle threshold of the HFB theory. The gap between the two branches at P = 0 is twice the HFB gap, which thus provides for the relevant energy scale. Numerical results for a specific case are given.

Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory without quasiparticle vacua

George Rosensteel

Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory is generalized by eliminating the restriction to quasiparticle vacuum states. However, the fundamental HFB transformation to quasiparticles is retained. The theory is formulated in terms of the quasiparticle density matrix $R$, but, in contrast to conventional HFB, there is no restriction to vacuum densities ${R}^{2}=R$.

Norm-overlap formula for Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov states with odd number parity

Makito Oi, T. Mizusaki

A formula to calculate the norm overlap between Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) states with odd number parity (one quasi-particle excited states) is derived with the help of Grassmann numbers and Fermion coherent states. The final formula is expressed in terms of a product of the Pfaffian for a neighboring even–even system (the zero quasi-particle state), and an extra factor consisting of the Bogoliubov transformation matrix and the anti-symmetric matrix in Thoulessʼ HFB ansatz for the even–even system.

Spectrum of elementary excitations of the Bose system with allowance for pair correlations

Yu. M. Poluéktov

Here, it was shown that the chain of equations, which is similar to the Bogoliubov chain in the theory of classical gases, may be obtained for the quasi-averages of the products of field operators in the system of Bose particles. The closed system of dynamic equations, which accounts for both the one-particle condensate and pair correlations, was obtained at zero temperature for the case where it is sufficient to confine ourselves to taking into account the quasi-averages of one field operator and the products of two field operators. The spectrum of excitations in a spatially homogeneous state was studied, and it was shown that this spectrum has two branches: the sound branch and the branch with an energy gap at zero momentum. The possibility of the existence of quasiparticle excitations with an energy gap in superfluid helium was discussed in connection with experiments on the absorption of microwave radiation.

Matrix elements of one-body and two-body operators between arbitrary HFB multi-quasiparticle states

Qing-Li Hu, Zao-Chun Gao, Y.S. Chen

We present new formulae for the matrix elements of one-body and two-body physical operators, which are applicable to arbitrary Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov wave functions, including those for multi-quasiparticle excitations. The testing calculations show that our formulae may substantially reduce the computational time by several orders of magnitude when applied to many-body quantum system in a large Fock space.

A Microscopic Theory of Superfluids. I: Quasi-Particles and the Extended Bogoliubov Transformation

Shuichiro Yamasaki

Creation and annihilation operators of quasi-particles are introduced into the description of a finite temperature system of degenerate bosons with the aid of a canonical transformation which generalizes the one due to Bogoliubov. A variational calculation taking into account the interaction between non-zero momentum particles shows that the quasi-particles are phonons in the long wave-length limit. The state of the system, which is approximated by the grand canonical ensemble of the quasi-particles, approaches the Hartree-Fock state when the condensate is depleted completely at the critical temperature.
