Exact spectral function and nonequilibrium dynamics of the strongly interacting Hubbard model

Analytical results on the correlation functions of strongly correlated many-body systems are rare in the literature and their importance cannot be overstated. We present determinant representations for the space-, time-, and temperature-dependent correlation functions of the strongly interacting one-dimensional Hubbard model in the presence of an external trapping potential. These representations are exact and valid in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium scenarios like the ones initiated by a sudden change of the confinement potential. In addition, they can be implemented numerically very easily significantly outperforming other numerical approaches. As applications of our results we investigate the single particle spectral functions of systems with harmonic trapping and show that dynamical quasicondensation occurs for both fermionic and bosonic spin-$1/2$ systems released from a Mott insulator state.

Quantum critical behavior and thermodynamics of the repulsive one-dimensional Hubbard model in a magnetic field

Even though the Hubbard model is one of the most fundamental models of highly correlated electrons, analytical and numerical data describing its thermodynamics at nonzero magnetization are relatively scarce. We present a detailed investigation of the thermodynamic properties for the one dimensional repulsive Hubbard model in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field for all values of the filling fraction and temperatures as low as $T \sim 0.005\, t.$ Our analysis is based on the system of integral equations derived in the quantum transfer matrix framework. We determine the critical exponents of the quantum phase transitions and also provide analytical derivations for some of the universal functions characterizing the thermodynamics in the vicinities of the quantum critical points. Extensive numerical data for the specific heat, susceptibility, compressibility, and entropy are reported. The experimentally relevant double occupancy presents an interesting doubly nonmonotonic temperature dependence at intermediate values of the interaction strength and also at large repulsion and magnetic fields close to the critical value. The susceptibility in zero magnetic field has a logarithmic singularity at low temperatures for all filling factors similar to the behavior of the same quantity in the XXX spin chain. We determine the density profiles for a harmonically trapped system and show that while the total density profile seems to depend mainly on the value of chemical potential at the center of the trap the distribution of phases in the inhomogeneous system changes dramatically as we increase the magnetic field.

Momentum reconstruction and contact of the one-dimensional Bose-Fermi mixture

We investigate the one-dimensional mixture of scalar bosons and spin polarized fermions interacting through a $δ$-function potential. Using a thermodynamic description derived by employing a lattice embedding of the continuum model and the quantum transfer matrix method we perform a detailed analysis of the contact and quantum critical behaviour. We show that the compressibility Wilson ratio presents anomalous enhancement at the quantum critical points and that the boundaries of the quantum critical regions can be well mapped by the maxima of the specific heat. As a function of the coupling strength and temperature the contact presents nonmonotonic behavior. In the strong coupling regime the local minimum exhibited by the contact as a function of temperature is accompanied by a significant momentum reconstruction at both low and high momenta. This momentum reconstruction occurs as the system crosses the boundary between the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phase to the spin-incoherent regime and provides an experimental signature of the transition.

Universality and quantum criticality of the one-dimensional spinor Bose gas

We investigate the universal thermodynamics of the two-component one-dimensional Bose gas with contact interactions in the vicinity of the quantum critical point separating the vacuum and the ferromagnetic liquid regime. We find that the quantum critical region belongs to the universality class of the spin-degenerate impenetrable particle gas which, surprisingly, is very different from the single-component case and identify its boundaries with the peaks of the specific heat. In addition, we show that the compressibility Wilson ratio, which quantifies the relative strength of thermal and quantum fluctuations, serves as a good discriminator of the quantum regimes near the quantum critical point. Remarkably, in the Tonks-Girardeau regime the universal contact develops a pronounced minimum, reflected in a counterintuitive narrowing of the momentum distribution as we increase the temperature. This momentum reconstruction, also present at low and intermediate momenta, signals the transition from the ferromagnetic to the spin-incoherent Luttinger liquid phase and can be detected in current experiments with ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices.

Universal Tan relations for quantum gases in one dimension

We investigate universal properties of one-dimensional multi-component systems comprised of fermions, bosons, or an arbitrary mixture, with contact interactions and subjected to an external potential. The masses and the coupling strengths between different types of particles are allowed to be different and we also take into account the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field. We show that the momentum distribution of these systems exhibits a universal $n_σ(k) \sim C_σ/k^4$ decay with $C_σ$ the contact of species $σ$ which can be computed from the derivatives of an appropriate thermodynamic potential with respect to the scattering lengths. In the case of integrable fermionic systems we argue that at fixed density and repulsive interactions the total contact reaches its maximum in the balanced system and monotonically decreases to zero as we increase the magnetic field. The converse effect is present in integrable bosonic systems: the contact is largest in the fully polarized state and reaches its minimum when all states are equally populated. We obtain short distance expansions for the Green's function and pair distribution function and show that the coefficients of these expansions can be expressed in terms of the density, kinetic energy and contact. In addition we derive universal thermodynamic identities relating the total energy of the system, pressure, trapping energy and contact. Our results are valid at zero and finite temperature, for homogeneous or trapped systems and for few-body or many-body states.

Exact probability distribution functions for Parrondo's games

We consider discrete time Brownian ratchet models: Parrondo's games. Using the Fourier transform, we calculate the exact probability distribution functions for both the capital dependent and history dependent Parrondo's games. We find that in some cases there are oscillations near the maximum of the probability distribution, and after many rounds there are two limiting distributions, for the odd and even total number of rounds of gambling. We assume that the solution of the aforementioned models can be applied to portfolio optimization.

Thermodynamics, contact and density profiles of the repulsive Gaudin-Yang model

We address the problem of computing the thermodynamic properties of the repulsive one-dimensional two-component Fermi gas with contact interaction, also known as the Gaudin-Yang model. Using a specific lattice embedding and the quantum transfer matrix we derive an exact system of only two nonlinear integral equations for the thermodynamics of the homogeneous model which is valid for all temperatures and values of the chemical potential, magnetic field and coupling strength. This system allows for an easy and extremely accurate calculation of thermodynamic properties circumventing the difficulties associated with the truncation of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz system of equations. We present extensive results for the densities, polarization, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, interaction energy, Tan contact and local correlation function of opposite spins. Our results show that at low and intermediate temperatures the experimentally accessible contact is a non-monotonic function of the coupling strength. As a function of the temperature the contact presents a pronounced local minimum in the Tonks-Girardeau regime which signals an abrupt change of the momentum distribution in a small interval of temperature. The density profiles of the system in the presence of a harmonic trapping potential are computed using the exact solution of the homogeneous model coupled with the local density approximation. We find that at finite temperature the density profile presents a double shell structure (partially polarized center and fully polarized wings) only when the polarization in the center of the trap is above a critical value which is monotonically increasing with temperature.

Thermodynamics, density profiles and correlation functions of the inhomogeneous one-dimensional spinor Bose gas

We investigate the finite temperature properties of the one-dimensional two-component Bose gas (2CBG) with repulsive contact interaction in a harmonic trap. Making use of a new lattice embedding for the 2CBG and the quantum transfer matrix we derive a system of two nonlinear integral equations characterizing the thermodynamics of the uniform system for all values of the relevant parameters: temperature, strength of the interaction, chemical potential and magnetic field. This system allows for an easy numerical implementation in stark contrast with the infinite number of equations obtained by employing the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz. We use this exact solution coupled with the local density approximation to compute the density profiles and local density correlation function of the inhomogeneous gas for a wide range of coupling strengths and temperatures. Our results show that the polarization in the center of the trap influences heavily the local correlator especially in the experimentally accessible Tonks-Girardeau regime.

Temperature-driven crossover in the Lieb-Liniger model

The large-distance behavior of the density-density correlation function in the Lieb-Liniger model at finite temperature is investigated by means of the recently derived nonlinear integral equations characterizing the correlation lengths. We present extensive numerical results covering all the physical regimes fromweak to strong interaction and all temperatures. We find that the leading term of the asymptotic expansion becomes oscillatory at a critical temperature which decreases with the strength of the interaction. As we approach the Tonks-Girardeau limit the asymptotic behavior becomes more complex with a double crossover of the largest and next-largest correlation lengths. The crossovers exist only for intermediate couplings and vanish for $γ=0$ and $γ=\infty$.

Correlation lengths of the repulsive one-dimensional Bose gas

We investigate the large-distance asymptotic behavior of the static density-density and field-field correlation functions in the one-dimensional Bose gas at finite temperature. The asymptotic expansions of the Bose gas correlators are obtained performing a specific continuum limit in the similar low-temperature expansions of the longitudinal and transversal correlation functions of the XXZ spin chain. In the lattice system the correlation lengths are computed as ratios of the largest and next-largest eigenvalues of the XXZ spin chain quantum transfer matrix. In both cases, lattice and continuum, the correlation lengths are expressed in terms of solutions of Yang-Yang type [C.N. Yang and C.P. Yang, J.Math.Phys. 10, 1151 (1969)] non-linear integral equations which are easily implementable numerically.

Efficient Thermodynamic Description of Multi-Component One-Dimensional Bose Gases

We present a new method of obtaining nonlinear integral equations characterizing the thermodynamics of one-dimensional multi-component gases interacting via a delta-function potential. In the case of the repulsive two-component Bose gas we obtain a simple system of two NLIE allowing for an efficient numerical implementation in contrast with the infinite number of coupled equations obtained by employing the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz. Our technique makes use of the Quantum Transfer Matrix and the fact that in a certain continuum limit multi-component gases can be obtained from appropriate anisotropic spin chains.

Non-dissipative Thermal Transport and Magnetothermal Effect for the Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Chain

Anomalous magnetothermal effects are discussed in the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain. The energy current is related to one of the non-trivial conserved quantities underlying integrability and therefore both the diagonal and off diagonal dynamical correlations of spin and energy current diverge. The energy-energy and spin-energy current correlations at finite temperatures are exactly calculated by a lattice path integral formulation. The low-temperature behavior of the thermomagnetic (magnetic Seebeck) coefficient is also discussed. Due to effects of strong correlations, we observe the magnetic Seebeck coefficient changes sign at certain interaction strengths and magnetic fields.

Equivalence of TBA and QTM

The traditional thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations for the XXZ model at $|Δ|\ge 1$ are derived within the quantum transfer matrix (QTM) method. This provides further evidence of the equivalence of both methods. Most importantly, we derive an integral equation for the free energy formulated for just one unknown function. This integral equation is different in physical and mathematical aspects from the established ones. The single integral equation is analytically continued to the regime $|Δ|<1$.
