Abstract

The quantum phase transition point between the insulator and the superfluid phase at unit filling factor of the infinite one‐dimensional Bose‐Hubbard model is numerically computed with a high accuracy. The method uses the infinite system version of the time evolving block decimation algorithm, here tested in a challenging case. We provide also the accurate estimate of the phase transition point at double occupancy.

Superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model for arbitrary integer filling factors

Ippei Danshita, Anatoli Polkovnikov

We study the quantum phase transition between the superfluid and the Mott insulator in the one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Hubbard model. Using the time-evolving block-decimation method, we numerically calculate the tunneling splitting of two macroscopically distinct states with different winding numbers. From the scaling of the tunneling splitting with respect to the system size, we determine the critical point of the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition for arbitrary integer filling factors. We find that the critical values versus the filling factor in 1D, 2D, and 3D are well approximated by a simple analytical function. We also discuss the condition for determining the transition point from a perspective of the instanton method.

Ground State Property of a One-Dimensional Bose—Hubbard Model Using Time-Evolving Body Decimation

Sheng-De Ouyang, Jing Liu, Shao-Hua Xiang +1 more

We study the ground state property of the one-dimensional Bose—Hubbard model using an imaginary time evolving body decimation algorithm. The single-particle density matrix is numerically calculated for a Mott insulating system and a superfluid system separately. By plotting the chemical potential versus the filling n = N/L for U/J = 20 and U/J = 0.1, we identify the Mott gap for U/J = 20 in filling n = 1. Lastly, we investigate the occupation number of the Bloch state with quasimomentum for a system deep in the Mott phase and in the superfluid phase respectively. The results indicate Bose condensation in the quasimomentum space.

Mott insulator--to--superfluid phase transition for arbitrary dimensionality and filling in the Bose-Hubbard model

Dennis Hinrichs, Matthias Langemeyer, Niklas Teichmann +1 more

We study the transition from a Mott insulator to a superfluid in the Bose-Hubbard model at zero temperature for the experimental relevant dimensionalities one, two and three, and in the mean-field limit of high dimensionalities. Converting Kato's perturbation series into an efficient numerical algorithm capable of reaching high orders, we obtain accurate critical parameters for any filling factor.

Phase diagram and thermodynamics of the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

Barbara Capogrosso-Sansone, Nikolay V. Prokof'ev, Boris V. Svistunov

We report results of quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the Bose-Hubbard model in three dimensions. Critical parameters for the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition are determined with significantly higher accuracy than has been done in the past. In particular, the position of the critical point at filling factor $n=1$ is found to be at ${(U∕t)}_{\mathrm{c}}=29.34(2)$, and the insulating gap $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ is measured with accuracy of a few percent of the hopping amplitude $t$. We obtain the effective mass of particle and hole excitations in the insulating state---with explicit demonstration of the emerging particle-hole symmetry and relativistic dispersion law at the transition tip---along with the sound velocity in the strongly correlated superfluid phase. These parameters are the necessary ingredients to perform analytic estimates of the low temperature $(T⪡\ensuremath{\Delta})$ thermodynamics in macroscopic samples. We present accurate thermodynamic curves, including these for specific heat and entropy, for typical insulating $(U∕t=40)$ and superfluid $(t∕U=0.0385)$ phases. Our data can serve as a basis for accurate experimental thermometry, and a guide for appropriate initial conditions if one attempts to use interacting bosons in quantum information processing.

Bose-Hubbard phase diagram with arbitrary integer filling

Niklas Teichmann, Dennis Hinrichs, Martin Holthaus +1 more

We study the transition from a Mott insulator to a superfluid in both the two- and the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model at zero temperature, employing the method of the effective potential. Converting Kato's perturbation series into an algorithm capable of reaching high orders, we obtain accurate critical parameters for any integer filling factor. Our technique allows us to monitor both the approach to the mean-field limit by considering spatial dimensionalities $d>3$ and to the quantum rotor limit of high filling, which refers to an array of Josephson junctions.

Scaling of the gap, fidelity susceptibility, and Bloch oscillations across the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

Juan Carrasquilla, Salvatore R. Manmana, Marcos Rigol

We investigate the interaction-induced superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) for fillings $n=1$, $n=2$, and $n=3$ by studying the single-particle gap, the fidelity susceptibility, and the amplitude of Bloch oscillations via density-matrix renormalization-group methods. We apply a generic scaling procedure for the gap, which allows us to determine the critical points with very high accuracy. We also study how the fidelity susceptibility behaves across the phase transition. Furthermore, we show that in the BHM, and in a system of spinless fermions, the amplitude of Bloch oscillations after a tilt of the lattice vanishes at the critical points. This indicates that Bloch oscillations can serve as a tool to detect the transition point in ongoing experiments with ultracold gases.
