Ground-state properties of hard-core bosons confined on one-dimensional optical lattices

چکیده
We study the ground-state properties of hard-core bosons trapped by arbitrary confining potentials on one-dimensional optical lattices. A recently developed exact approach based on the Jordan-Wigner transformation is used. We analyze the large distance behavior of the one-particle density matrix, the momentum distribution function, and the lowest natural orbitals. In addition, the low-density limit in the lattice is studied systematically, and the results obtained compared with the ones known for the hard-core boson gas without the lattice.

Pfaffian-like ground state for three-body hard-core bosons in one-dimensional lattices
We propose a Pfaffian-like ansatz for the ground state of bosons subject to three-body infinite repulsive interactions in a one-dimensional 1D lattice. Our ansatz consists of symmetrization over all possible ways of distributing the particles in two identical Tonks-Girardeau gases. We support the quality of our ansatz with numerical calculations and propose an experimental scheme based on mixtu...
متن کاملUltracold atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices approaching the Tonks-Girardeau regime.
Recent experiments on ultracold atomic alkali gases in a one-dimensional optical lattice have demonstrated the transition from a gas of soft-core bosons to a Tonks-Girardeau gas in the hard-core limit, where one-dimensional bosons behave like fermions in many respects. We have studied the underlying many-body physics through numerical simulations which accommodate both the soft-core and hard-co...
متن کاملMacroscopic superposition states in rotating ring lattices
We investigate the effects of rotation on one-dimensional ultracold bosons confined to optical ring lattices. First, we show that there exists a critical rotation frequency at which the ground state of a weakly-interacting and integer-filled atomic gas is fragmented into a macroscopic superposition state with different circulation. Second, we point out several advantages of using slightly non-u...

متن کاملGround state properties of a one - dimensional condensate of hard core bosons in a harmonic trap
The exact N-particle ground state wave function for a one-dimensional con-densate of hard core bosons in a harmonic trap is employed to obtain accurate numerical results for the one-particle density matrix, occupation number distribution of the natural orbitals, and momentum distribution. Our results show that the occupation of the lowest orbital varies as N 0.59 , in contrast to N 0.5 for a sp...
