Mott-insulator phase of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model: A high-order perturbative study

Abstract

The one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model at a unit filling factor is studied by means of a very high-order symbolic perturbative expansion. Analytical expressions are derived for the ground-state quantities such as energy per site, variance of on-site occupation, and correlation functions: $⟨{\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{a}}_{j}^{\ifmmode\dagger\else\textdagger\fi{}}{\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{a}}_{j+r}⟩$ and $⟨{\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{n}}_{j}{\stackrel{\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}{n}}_{j+r}⟩$. These findings are compared to numerics and good agreement is found in the Mott insulator phase. Our results provide analytical approximations to important observables in the Mott phase, and are also of direct relevance to future experiments with ultracold atomic gases placed in optical lattices. We also discuss the symmetry of the Bose-Hubbard model associated with the sign change of the tunneling coupling.

Properties of the one-dimensional Bose–Hubbard model from a high-order perturbative expansion

Bogdan Damski, Jakub Zakrzewski

We employ a high-order perturbative expansion to characterize the ground state of the Mott phase of the one-dimensional Bose–Hubbard model. We compute for different integer filling factors the energy per lattice site, the two-point and density–density correlations, and expectation values of powers of the on-site number operator determining the local atom number fluctuations (variance, skewness, kurtosis). We compare these expansions to numerical simulations of the infinite-size system to determine their range of applicability. We also discuss a new sum rule for the density–density correlations that can be used in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems.

Process-chain approach to the Bose-Hubbard model: Ground-state properties and phase diagram

Niklas Teichmann, Dennis Hinrichs, Martin Holthaus +1 more

We carry out a perturbative analysis, of high order in the tunneling parameter, of the ground state of the homogeneous Bose-Hubbard model in the Mott insulator phase. This is made possible by a diagrammatic process-chain approach, derived from Kato's representation of the many-body perturbation series, which can be implemented numerically in a straightforward manner. We compute ground-state energies, atom-atom correlation functions, density-density correlations, and occupation number fluctuations, for one-, two-, and three-dimensional lattices with arbitrary integer filling. A phenomenological scaling behavior is found which renders the data almost independent of the filling factor. In addition, the process-chain approach is employed for calculating the boundary between the Mott insulator phase and the superfluid phase with high accuracy. We also consider systems with dimensionalities $d>3$, thus monitoring the approach to the mean-field limit. The versatility of the method suggests further applications to other systems which are less well understood.

Strong-coupling perturbation theory for the extended Bose-Hubbard model

M. Iskin, James K. Freericks

We develop a strong-coupling perturbation theory for the extended Bose-Hubbard model with on-site and nearest-neighbor boson-boson repulsions on $(d>1)$-dimensional hypercubic lattices. Analytical expressions for the ground-state phase boundaries between the incompressible (Mott or charge-density-wave insulators) and the compressible (superfluid or supersolid) phases are derived up to third order in the hopping $t$. We also briefly discuss possible implications of our results in the context of ultracold dipolar Bose gases with dipole-dipole interactions loaded into optical lattices.

Numerical study of the trapped and extended Bose-Hubbard models

Tommaso Comparin

The Bose-Hubbard model describes the physics of a system of bosonic ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, in which a phase transition is present between a superfluid phase and a Mott insulator one. \nThe exact solution of this Hamiltonian is only feasible to find the ground-state of small systems, while other techniques (as mean-field schemes or quantum Monte Carlo) are necessary to study systems of larger size. \n \nAs a first application, we study the trapped model - relevant for the comparison with current experiments - through an inhomogeneous mean-field scheme. We describe some signatures of the phase crossover between superfluid and Mott insulator. In particular, the visibility of the quasimomentum distribution shows some kinks as a function of the lattice depth; we describe these features and we link them with the ones observed in other works in the literature. \n \nAs a second application, we use quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model with long-range interactions and we focus on the appearance of the Haldane insulating phase, distinguishable from the Mott one through the presence of non-local hidden order. \nNon-local correlation functions are also used to describe the difference between the superfluid phase and the Mott insulator one.

Phase diagram of the Bose-Hubbard Model

J. K Freericks, H Monien

The first reliable analytic calculation of the phase diagram of the Bose gas on a d -dimensional lattice with on-site repulsion is presented. In one dimension, the analytic calculation is in excellent agreement with the numerical Monte Carlo results. In higher dimensions, the deviations from the Monte Carlo calculations are larger, but the correct shape of the Mott-insulator lobes is still obtained. Explicit expressions for the energy of the Mott and the "defect" phase are given in a strong-coupling expansion.
