Finite temperature correlations in the Lieb-Liniger 1D Bose gas

Abstract

We address the problem of calculating finite-temperature response functions of an experimentally relevant low-dimensional strongly-correlated system: the integrable 1D Bose gas with repulsive δ-function interaction (Lieb-Liniger model). Focusing on the observable dynamical density-density function, we present a Bethe Ansatz-based method allowing for its accurate evaluation over a broad range of momenta, frequencies, temperatures and interaction parameters, in finite but large systems. We show how thermal fluctuations smoothen the zero temperature critical behavior and present explicit quantitative results in experimentally accessible regimes.
