Abstract

We analyze the ground-state and low-temperature properties of a one-dimensional Bose gas in a harmonic trapping potential using the numerical density-matrix renormalization group. Calculations cover the whole range from the Bogoliubov limit of weak interactions to the Tonks-Girardeau limit. Local quantities such as density and local three-body correlations are calculated and shown to agree very well with analytic predictions within a local-density approximation. The transition between temperature-dominated to quantum-dominated correlation is determined. It is shown that despite the presence of the harmonic trapping potential, first-order correlations display, over a large range, the algebraic decay of a harmonic fluid with a Luttinger parameter determined by the density at the trap center.

Finite-temperature correlations and density profiles of an inhomogeneous interacting one-dimensional Bose gas

Karen V. Kheruntsyan, Dimitri M. Gangardt, P. D. Drummond +1 more

We calculate the density profiles and density correlation functions of the one-dimensional Bose gas in a harmonic trap, using the exact finite-temperature solutions for the uniform case, and applying a local density approximation. The results are valid for a trapping potential that is slowly varying relative to a correlation length. They allow a direct experimental test of the transition from the weak-coupling Gross-Pitaevskii regime to the strong-coupling, ``fermionic'' Tonks-Girardeau regime. We also calculate the average two-particle correlation which characterizes the bulk properties of the sample, and find that it can be well approximated by the value of the local pair correlation in the trap center.

Stochastic simulation of a finite-temperature one-dimensional Bose gas: From the Bogoliubov to the Tonks-Girardeau regime

Bernd G Schmidt, Lev I. Plimak, Michael Fleischhauer

We present an ab initio stochastic method for calculating thermal properties of a trapped, one-dimensional Bose gas covering the whole range from weak to strong interactions. Discretization of the problem results in a Bose-Hubbard--type Hamiltonian, whose imaginary time evolution is made computationally accessible by stochastic factorization of the kinetic energy. To achieve convergence for low enough temperatures such that quantum fluctuations are essential, the stochastic factorization is generalized to blocks, and ideas from density-matrix renormalization are employed. We compare our numerical results for density and first-order correlations with analytic predictions.

Finite temperature correlations and density profiles of an inhomogeneous interacting 1D Bose gas

We calculate the density profiles and density correlation functions of the one-dimensional Bose gas in a harmonic trap, using the exact finite-temperature solutions for the uniform case, and applying a local density approximation. The results are valid for a trapping potential which is slowly varying relative to a correlation length. They allow a direct experimental test of the transition from the weak coupling Gross-Pitaevskii regime to the strong coupling, \'fermionic\' Tonks-Girardeau regime. We also calculate the average two-particle correlation which characterizes the bulk properties of the sample, and find that it can be well approximated by the value of the local pair correlation in the trap center.

Collective modes of a harmonically trapped one-dimensional Bose gas: The effects of finite particle number and nonzero temperature

Xiao-Long Chen, Yun Li, Hui Hu

Following the idea of the density-functional approach, we develop a generalized Bogoliubov theory of an interacting Bose gas confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap by using a local chemical potential, calculated with the Lieb-Liniger exact solution, as the exchange energy. At zero temperature, we use the theory to describe collective modes of a finite-particle system in all interaction regimes from the ideal gas limit to the mean-field Thomas-Fermi regime and to the strongly interacting Tonks-Girardeau regime. At finite temperature, we investigate the temperature dependence of collective modes in the weak-coupling regime by means of a Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with Popov approximation. By emphasizing the effects of finite particle number and nonzero temperature on collective-mode frequencies, we compare our results with a recent experimental measurement [E. Haller et al., Science 325, 1224 (2009)] and some previous theoretical predictions. We show that the experimental data are still not fully explained within current theoretical framework.

Thermodynamics, density profiles, and correlation functions of the inhomogeneous one-dimensional spinor Bose gas

Ovidiu I. Pâţu, Andreas Klümper

We investigate the finite-temperature properties of the one-dimensional two-component Bose gas (2CBG) with repulsive contact interaction in a harmonic trap. Making use of a lattice embedding for the 2CBG and the quantum transfer matrix, we derive a system of two nonlinear integral equations characterizing the thermodynamics of the uniform system for all values of the relevant parameters: temperature, strength of the interaction, chemical potential, and magnetic field. This system allows for an easy numerical implementation in stark contrast with the infinite number of equations obtained by employing the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. We use this exact solution coupled with the local density approximation to compute the density profiles and local density correlation function of the inhomogeneous gas for a wide range of coupling strengths and temperatures. Our results show that the polarization in the center of the trap influences heavily the local correlator especially in the experimentally accessible Tonks-Girardeau regime.

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.
