Absence of Single-Particle Bose-Einstein Condensation at Low Densities for Bosons with Correlated Hopping
Rachel Bendjama, Brijesh Kumar, Frédéric Mila
Abstract
Motivated by the physics of mobile triplets in frustrated quantum magnets, the properties of a two-dimensional model of bosons with correlated hopping are investigated. A mean-field analysis reveals the presence of a pairing phase without single-particle Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) at low densities for sufficiently strong correlated hopping, and of an Ising quantum phase transition towards a BEC phase at larger density. The physical arguments supporting the mean-field results and their implications for bosonic and quantum spin systems are discussed.
