Superfluid toMott-insulator transition of cold atoms in optical lattices
We review the superfluid to Mott-insulator transition of cold atoms in optical lattices. The experimental signatures of the transition are discussed and the RPA theory of the Bose-Hubbard model briefly described. We point out that the critical behavior at the transition, as well as the prediction by the RPA theory of a gapped mode (besides the Bogoliubov sound mode) in the superfluid phase, are...
متن کاملPhoton blockade induced Mott transitions and XY spin models in coupled cavity arrays
The non-interacting nature of light makes the observation of photonic quantum phase transitions an impossible task. We demonstrate how a photonic insulator type of phase(Mott phase) can arise in an array of coupled high Q electromagnetic cavities and show how to drive the system to a superfluid state. Each cavity site is coupled resonantly to a single two level system (atom/quantum dot/Cooper p...
متن کاملDynamics 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 کاملFrequency and phase locking of laser cavity solitons
Self-localized states or dissipative solitons have the freedom of translation in systems with a homogeneous background. When compared to cavity solitons in coherently driven nonlinear optical systems, laser cavity solitons have the additional freedom of the optical phase. We explore the consequences of this additional Goldstone mode and analyze experimentally and numerically frequency and phase...
متن کاملMott glass to superfluid transition for random bosons in two dimensions
We study the zero-temperature superfluid-insulator transition for a two-dimensional model of interacting, lattice bosons in the presence of quenched disorder and particle-hole symmetry. We follow the approach of a recent series of papers by Altman, Kafri, Polkovnikov, and Refael, in which the strong disorder renormalization group is used to study disordered bosons in one dimension. Adapting thi...
