Abstract

The Bose-Hubbard model exhibits a rich phase diagram consisting both of insulating regimes where diagonal long-range (solid) order dominates as well as conducting regimes where off-diagonal long-range order (superfluidity) is present. In this paper we describe the results of quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the phase diagram, both for the hard- and soft-core cases, with a particular focus on the possibility of simultaneous superfluid and solid order. We also discuss the appearance of phase separation in the model. The simulations are compared with analytic calculations of the phase diagram and spin-wave dispersion.

Supersolids in the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian

G. G. Batrouni, Richard T. Scalettar, Gergely T. Zimányi +1 more

We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to determine the ground state phase diagram of the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian with long-range repulsive interactions. At half filling one finds superfluidity and insulating solid phases. Depending on the relative sizes of near-neighbor and next-near-neighbor interactions, this solid follows either a checkerboard or a striped pattern. In neither case is there a coexistence with superfluidity. However, at incommensurate densities ``supersolid'' phases appear with simultaneous diagonal and off-diagonal long-range order.

Extended Bose-Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice

Jing Yu Gan, Yu Chuan Wen, Jinwu Ye +3 more

We study the extended Bose-Hubbard model on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice by using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We present the ground-state phase diagrams for both the hard-core and the soft-core bosons. For the hard-core case, the transition between the $\ensuremath{\rho}=1∕2$ solid and the superfluid is first order, and the supersolid state is unstable toward phase separation. For the soft-core case, due to the presence of multiple occupation, a stable particle-induced supersolid (SS-p) phase emerges when $1∕2<\ensuremath{\rho}<1$. The transition from the solid at $\ensuremath{\rho}=1∕2$ to the SS-p phase is second order with the superfluid density scaling as ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}\ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\rho}\ensuremath{-}1∕2$. The SS-p phase has the same diagonal order as the solid at $\ensuremath{\rho}=1∕2$. As the chemical potential increases further, the SS-p phase turns into a solid where two bosons occupy each site of one sublattice through a first-order transition. We also calculate the critical exponents of the transition between the $\ensuremath{\rho}=1∕2$ solid and superfluid at the Heisenberg point for the hard-core case. We find the dynamical critical exponent $z=0.15$, which is smaller than results obtained on smaller lattices. This indicates that $z$ approaches zero in the thermodynamic limit, and thus the transition is also first order even at the Heisenberg point.

A review of Monte Carlo simulations for the Bose–Hubbard model with diagonal disorder

Lode Pollet

We review the physics of the Bose–Hubbard model with disorder in the chemical potential focusing on recently published analytical arguments in combination with quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Apart from the superfluid and Mott insulator phases that can occur in this system without disorder, disorder allows for an additional phase, called the Bose glass phase. The topology of the phase diagram is subject to strong theorems proving that the Bose Glass phase must intervene between the superfluid and the Mott insulator and implying a Griffiths transition between the Mott insulator and the Bose glass. The full phase diagrams in 3d and 2d are discussed, and we zoom in on the insensitivity of the transition line between the superfluid and the Bose glass in the close vicinity of the tip of the Mott insulator lobe. We briefly comment on the established and remaining questions in the 1d case, and give a short overview of numerical work on related models.

Phases of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

Till D. Kühner, H. Monien

The zero-temperature phase diagram of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor interaction is investigated using the density-matrix renormalization group. Recently normal phases without long-range order have been conjectured between the charge-density wave phase and the superfluid phase in one-dimensional bosonic systems without disorder. Our calculations demonstrate that there is no intermediate phase in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model but a simultaneous vanishing of crystalline order and appearance of superfluid order. The complete phase diagrams with and without nearest-neighbor interaction are obtained. Both phase diagrams show reentrance from the superfluid phase to the insulator phase.

Coexistence of diagonal and off-diagonal long-range order: A Monte Carlo study

Anne van Otterlo, Karl-Heinz Wagenblast

The zero temperature properties of interacting two dimensional lattice bosons are investigated. We present Monte Carlo data for soft-core bosons that demonstrate the existence of a phase in which crystalline long-range order and off-diagonal long-range order (superfluidity) coexist. We comment on the difference between hard- and soft-core bosons and compare our date to mean-field results that predict a larger coexistence region. Furthermore, we determine the critical exponents for the various phase transitions.

Supersolidity and phase diagram of soft-core bosons on a triangular lattice

Jing-Yu Gan, Yu-Chuan Wen, Yue Yu

We study the soft-core extended Bose-Hubbard model in a two-dimensional triangular lattice by using the quantum Monte Carlo methods. The ground-state phase diagram of the system exhibits a very fruitful structure and is much intriguing. Aside from the Mott insulating state, four kinds of solid states with respect to the commensurate filling factors $\ensuremath{\rho}=1∕3,2∕3$ and $\ensuremath{\rho}=1$ are identified. In incommensurate fillings, superfluid, supersolid, as well as phase-separation states are detected. As in the case of the hard-core bosons, a supersolid phase exists in $1∕3<\ensuremath{\rho}<2∕3$ while it is unstable toward the phase separation in $\ensuremath{\rho}<1∕3$. However, this instability is refrained in $2∕3<\ensuremath{\rho}<1$ due to the softening of the bosons, and then a supersolid phase survives.
