First-principles quantum simulations of many-mode open interacting Bose gases using stochastic gauge methods

Abstract

Many-mode interacting Bose gases (1D,2D,3D) are simulated from first principles. The model uses a second-quantized Hamiltonian with two-particle interactions (possibly ranged), external potential, and interactions with an environment, with no further approximations. Simulations are of a set of stochastic equations that in the limit of many realizations correspond exactly to the full quantum evolution. These are obtained using the stochastic gauge method (derived here), an extension of the positive P phase-space representation. The systems investigated are: 1) Dynamics of spatial correlations in uniform 1D and 2D Bose gases after the rapid appearance of significant two-body collisions (e.g. after entering a Feshbach resonance). 2) Dynamics of stimulated Bose enhancement of scattered atom modes during the collision of two Bose-Einstein condensates with a mean of 150 000 atoms. 3) Dynamics of trapped bosons, where the size of the trap is of the same order as the range of the interparticle potential. 4) Grand canonical thermodynamics of uniform 1D Bose gases for a variety of temperatures and collision strengths. Observables calculated include 1st-3rd order spatial correlation functions (including finite separation) and momentum distributions. The stochastic gauge method is derived, and its application to interacting Bose gases investigated in detail. It is found to improve simulation effectiveness under many conditions, and to be capable of overcoming instability and boundary term problems. Additionally, conditions under which very generalized phase-space represntations can be used to obtain tractable many-body simulations are analysed.

Microscopic Understanding of Thermal-magnon Transport in a Low-damping Ferrimagnetic Thin Films

Thermally generated magnons enable heat-driven spin transport in magnetic insulators, yet the microscopic mechanisms governing their propagation remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate thermal magnon transport in low-damping Li$_{0.5}$Al$_{1.0}$Fe$_{1.5}$O$_4$/Pt nanodevices using a nonlocal spin Seebeck geometry that separates magnon transport from local thermoelectric effects. Thermal imaging establishes a detector region outside the thermal healing length, enabling intrinsic nonlocal measurements. We find that thermal magnon transport is strongly suppressed by magnetic fields far above saturation. Brillouin light scattering reveals that increasing field reduces the group velocity of backward volume magnons, providing a microscopic origin for the observed reduction in magnon spin diffusion length. We further find that thermal magnon transport decreases with increasing temperature despite an increasing magnon population. Micromagnetic simulations reproduce this behavior only when a temperature-dependent exchange stiffness is included. These results identify magnon group velocity and exchange stiffness as key parameters governing thermal magnon transport in ferrimagnetic thin films.

Transport properties and topological phase transitions for a Creutz-Su-Schrieffer-Heeger ladder

In this work, we investigate the electronic, topological, and transport properties of a Creutz-Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (CSSH) ladder. Using a tight-binding model within the Green's function formalism, we calculate the energy spectrum, local density of states (LDOS), and electronic transmission. We first determine the energy spectrum of the CSSH ladder and analyze the different topological phases present in the system, identifying one trivial phase and three distinct nontrivial regions. We then study electronic transport and show that the transmission reproduces the different topological phases through characteristic transport signatures. Finally, we derive the conditions for the emergence of non-topological flat bands and demonstrate that these bands also provide the necessary conditions for the formation of bound states in the continuum (BICs). Our results establish a direct connection between the topological properties, flat-band formation, and electronic transport in the CSSH ladder.

Exact Phase-Space Rotation in the Trapped Quantum Calogero Model

We develop a microscopic phase-space description of the quantum Calogero model in the presence of an external harmonic confining potential. Building on the quantum Lax-pair structure, we construct a Hermitian Wigner operator whose expectation value obeys the exact phase-space evolution equation d_t rho + lambda d_x rho - Omega^2 x d_lambda rho = 0 for arbitrary initial states and to all orders in the interaction strength. The resulting dynamics is a rigid rotation in phase space with period 2 pi/Omega, providing a microscopic realization of the isochronous dynamics of the trapped Calogero model. We further show that the moments of the phase-space density form rotating multiplets rather than independent conserved quantities. In particular, within the quadratic sector, the unique conserved combination is proportional to the trapped Hamiltonian, providing a nontrivial consistency check of the construction. In the limit Omega -> 0, the equation reduces to the exact free-streaming equation of the untrapped model.
