The synthetic dimension, a research topic of both fundamental significance and practical applications, has been attracting increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework to construct arbitrary synthetic dimensions, or N-boson synthetic lattices, using multiple bosons on one-dimensional lattices. We show that a one-dimensional lattice hosting N indistinguishable bosons can be mapped to a single boson on an N-dimensional lattice with high symmetry. Band structure analyses on this N-dimensional lattice can then be mathematically performed to predict the existence of exotic eigenstates and the motion of N-boson wave packets. As illustrative examples, we demonstrate the edge states in two-boson Su-Schrieffer-Heeger synthetic lattices without interactions, interface states in two-boson Su-Schrieffer-Heeger synthetic lattices with interactions, and weakly bound triplon states in three-boson tight-binding synthetic lattices with interactions. The interface states and weakly bound triplon states have not been thoroughly understood in previous research. Our proposed theoretical framework hence provides an interesting perspective to explore the multiboson dynamics on lattices with boson-boson interactions, and opens up a future avenue in the field of multiboson manipulation in quantum engineering.

By quantum Monte Carlo simulations of bosons in gapped honeycomb lattices, we show the existence of bosonic edge states. For a single layer honeycomb lattice, bosonic edge states can be controlled to appear, cross the gap, and merge into bulk states by an on-site potential applied on the outermost sites of the boundary. On a bilayer honeycomb lattice, A bosonic edge state traversing the gap at half filling is demonstrated. The topological origin of the bosonic edge states is discussed with pseudo Berry curvature. The results will simulate experimental studies of these exotic bosonic edge states with ultracold bosons trapped in honeycomb optical lattices.

The authors construct the Hamiltonian of a new quantum integrable 'q-boson' lattice model in 1+1 dimensions which has q-bosons as dynamical variables and solve it for its energy eigenstates and energy eigenvalues under periodic boundary conditions of finite period. This model can be regarded as the q-deformation of the integrable lattice Bose gas (the quantum lattice nonlinear Schrodinger (quantum lattice NLS)) model. In appropriate continuum limits both of these lattice models become the quantum repulsive NLS model (the Bose gas). In the lattice case the distinction between the q-bosons and ordinary bosons leads to significant new features-particularly in the energy spectrum for which the q-boson lattice model has an optical branch and bound state spectra as well as the (one) acoustic branch of the quantum lattice NLS model. It is argued that this sort of distinction is generic for discrete systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom as opposed to continuum field theories like the Bose gas where quantization by quantum group quantization or by canonical quantization leads to the same results. Various properties of the q-bosons are given and used. In particular, a q-boson Primakov-Holstein transformation is given which connects the q-boson lattice model with the XXZ models of arbitrary spin.
