Quantum phase transition from a Mott insulator to a superfluid in bosons
نویسنده
چکیده
Bose Hubbard model is presented and basic natures of Mott insulating phase and superfluid phase are studied in this essay. Also how and when this quantum phase transition occurs is discussed. Experimental supports from ultracold atoms physics are explained, while some miscellaneous topics are touched in the end.

Dynamics of a bistable Mott insulator to superfluid phase transition in cavity optomechanics
We study the dynamics of the many-body state of ultracold bosons trapped in a bistable optical lattice in an optomechanical resonator controlled by a time-dependent input field. We focus on the dynamics of the many-body system following discontinuous jumps of the intracavity field. We identify experimentally realizable parameters for the bistable quantum phase transition between Mott insulator ...
متن کاملSuperfluid to Mott-insulator transition in an anizotropic two–dimensional optical lattice
We study the superfluid to Mott-insulator transition of bosons in an optical anizotropic lattice by employing the Bose-Hubbard model living on a two-dimensional lattice with anizotropy parameter κ. The compressible superfluid state and incompressible Mott-insulator (MI) lobes are efficiently described analytically, using the quantum U(1) rotor approach. The ground state phase diagram showing th...
متن کاملPhase diagram of two-component bosons on an optical lattice
We present a theoretical analysis of the phase diagram of twocomponent bosons on an optical lattice. A new formalism is developed which treats the effective spin interactions in the Mott and superfluid phases on the same footing. Using this new approach we chart the phase boundaries of the broken spin symmetry states up to the Mott to superfluid transition and beyond. Near the transition point,...
متن کاملQuantum Phase Transitions in a Dimerized Bose-Hubbard Model: A DMRG Study
We investigate the phase diagram of a dimerized Bose-Hubbard model, using density matrix renormalization group technique. We find a new phase, which is the coexistence of superfluid and bond-wave phases, due to the effect of dimerization. Experimentally dimerization in optical lattice can be realized by using two counter propagating laser beams of different wavelengths. Apart from the conventio...
متن کاملSuperfluid-insulator transition in a commensurate one-dimensional bosonic system with off-diagonal disorder.
We study the nature of the superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition in a one-dimensional system of lattice bosons with off-diagonal disorder in the limit of a large integer filling factor. Monte Carlo simulations of two strongly disordered models show that the universality class of the transition in question is the same as that of the superfluid-Mott-insulator transition in a pure system. ...
