Quantum phases of the extended Bose-Hubbard hamiltonian: possibility of a supersolid state of cold atoms in optical lattices.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cold atom optical lattices typically simulate zero-range Hubbard models. We discuss the theoretical possibility of using excited states of optical lattices to generate extended range Hubbard models. We find that bosons confined to higher bands of optical lattices allow for a rich phase diagram, including the supersolid phase. Using Gutzwiller, mean-field theory we establish the parameter regime necessary to maintain metastable states generated by an extended Bose-Hubbard model.

Density Wave and Supersolid Phases of Correlated Bosons in an optical lattice
– Motivated by the recent experiment on the Bose-Einstein condensation of Cr atoms with long-range dipolar interactions (Werner J. et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 94 (2005) 183201), we consider a system of bosons with repulsive nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions in an optical lattice. The ground state phase diagram, calculated using the Gutzwiller ansatz, shows, apart from the superfluid ...
متن کاملStrong-coupling perturbation theory for the extended Bose-Hubbard model
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 t...
متن کاملStability of superflow in supersolid phases of lattice bosons with dipole-dipole interaction
We investigate the stability of superflow of bosons with isotropic dipole-dipole interactions in a two-dimensional optical lattice. We perform linear stability analyses for the dipolar Bose-Hubbard model in the hardcore boson limit, and show that the superflow can exist in a supersolid phase unless the velocity exceeds a certain critical value and that the critical value is remarkably smaller t...

The Bose-Hubbard hamiltonian will be introduced and justified as an effective description of some relevant physical systems (dilute alkali gases in optical lattices, arrays of Josephson junctions). I will also show a mean field theory solution and the resulting phase diagram. Finally, I will describe in detail one of the more important experiments with an optical lattice of Rb atoms. 1. The Bos...
متن کاملStrongly correlated ultra-cold bosonic atoms in optical lattices
A major focus in condensed matter physics is to study the origin of exotic quantum phases such as coexistent and inhomogeneous phases, quantum criticality, and secondary ordered phases close to quantum critical points. Exotic phenomena in strongly correlated systems occur due to competing complex interactions of spin, charge, lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom. Complex quantum phases in st...
