Potential-defect-driven collective modes of one-dimensional two-component quantum droplets

We examine a one-dimensional binary mixture of ultradilute quantum droplets in the presence of a central potential defect. The properties of the potential strength and the number of atoms exhibit distinct polarization transitions and low-lying ollective excitation spectra. The balance of (attractive) Lee-Huang-Yang quantum fluctuations and repulsive mean-field interactions results in a self-bound quantum droplet in a potential well. However, the potential barrier causes the polarization transition with the number of atoms, which is reflected in the excitation spectrum as a discontinuity and softening of the quasiparticle modes. We reveal that the critical number of atoms for the transition decreases as the attractive intercomponent interaction increases. Finally, the quench time dynamics of the interaction in potential barrier and well show the localization and diffusive fragmented droplets of two-component systems.

Quasiparticle modes across soliton transition with density-dependent gauge field in optical lattices

Tunneling of ultracold bosons confined in a one-dimensional optical lattice results in a nontrivial gauge field depending on density-difference between the sites involved. The density dependent tunneling (DDT) causes a first-order quantum phase transition from the Bose-Einstein condensate to the localized soliton. Here, we examine the low-lying quasiparticle mode evolution across the transition in the weakly-interacting limit. To this end, we employ the discrete Bogoliubov theory and dispersion curves to reveal an increase in the quasiparticle energies of dipole (and higher) excitations with DDT in the soliton phase while preserving the zero-energy mode. This is due to the decrease in effective tunneling, resulting in a larger energy cost to move the soliton, and causes faster dipole oscillations. The repulsive on-site atomic interaction further shifts the critical gauge field of DDT to a larger value by stabilizing the lattice soliton. The latter is corroborated by a phase diagram in the complex gauge field plane and mode energy gap of quasiparticles. We further show that the soliton does not exhibit Bloch oscillations as the effective momentum becomes density-dependent and deforms its internal structure. The dynamical response of the trap quench does not excite the width of localized wave-packet, and the breathing oscillations are suppressed. The latter two dynamical properties of the condensate uniquely contrast the soliton state due to the density-dependent gauge field.

Structural transition and fragmentation of vortex lattices in rotating tilted dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

We investigate the vortex lattices of harmonically confined quasi-two-dimensional tilted rotational dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. By employing an extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a rotating condensate, we reveal the structural transformation of vortices from square to triangular lattices as the tilt of dipolar bosons relative to the polarization axis approaches a critical angle. When the tilt of the magnetic dipoles surpasses the magic angle, the condensate elongates diagonally and becomes devoid of vortices. Moreover, we include the Lee-Huang-Yang correction, which enables the formation of vortices in the elongated condensate. Additionally, when dipoles are oriented perpendicular to the polarization axis, the Lee-Huang-Yang correction results in the fragmentation of condensates under strong rotation. The quench dynamics of the rotational frequency demonstrate the development of vortex lattices; however, with a strong rotational quench, the condensate remains free of vortices. Our numerical analysis highlights the beyond mean-field effects of the rotational properties of anisotropic dipolar bosons, which can be observed in current dipolar quantum gas experiments.

Magnetic quantum phases of spin-orbit-coupled anisotropic dipolar bosons in square lattices

We examine the two-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled bosons in the presence of an anisotropic dipolar interaction in square lattices. The spin-orbit coupling leads to finite-momentum superfluid and supersolid states, while the nearest-neighbour interaction induces crystalline characteristics in the quantum phases of soft-core bosons. We employ site-decoupled Gutzwiller ansatz and mean-field decoupling theory to obtain the phase diagrams and investigate the effects of the tilt of magnetic dipoles with respect to the polarization axis. Our study reveals the intriguing quantum phase transition of checkerboard finite-momentum phase-twisted and phase-stripe states into their stripe counterparts at a magic tilt angle, at which the off-site interaction along one of the directions becomes zero. At smaller tilt angles, the checkerboard charge-density-wave phase intervened by two compressible finite-momentum phases, and at strong spin-orbit coupling strengths, the phase-twisted supersolid and superfluid phases emerge. At larger tilt angles, a transition between the striped order of phase-twisted states and phase-stripe states occurs. The inclusion of off-site inter-component correlation leads to density-correlated phases, lattice-induced supersolid, and ferromagnetic quantum phases. Our study highlights novel finite-momentum crystal phases of spin-orbit-coupled dipolar bosons and provides a parameter space to observe them in quantum gas experiments.

Quasiparticle spectra of mixtures of dipolar and non-dipolar condensates at zero and finite temperatures

We examine the low-lying collective quasiparticle modes of a quasi-one-dimensional mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates having dipolar and non-dipolar atomic species. The dipolar atomic species have permanent magnetic dipolar moments. We employ Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory to investigate the distinct collective spectra at zero and finite temperatures corresponding to phase separation phenomena stemming from the dipole-dipole interaction of dipolar atomic species. When the dipolar interaction is tuned to be repulsive, the number of zero-energy modes decreases, reflecting the system's tendency towards mixing. For a large number of atoms, we show that the attractive (repulsive) dipolar interaction strengths lead to ground states with non-dipolar (dipolar) atomic species at the periphery, and this leads to a discontinuity in quasiparticle mode evolution. We finally reveal that miscibility driven by thermal fluctuations at finite temperatures exhibits dipole mode hardening, confirmed by the loss of long-range phase coherence through the correlation function. The mode mixing in the dispersion relations ascertains a dipolar strength-dependent miscibility transition and the low-lying quasiparticle mode evolution.

Collective modes of two-species Bose-Einstein condensates in a Josephson junction barrier

The ultracold atoms are an ideal platform to implement atomtronics and Josephson junctions analogous to superconducting circuits. The collective modes of a Bose gas split by a potential barrier have been known. However, the role of barriers on the collective excitation spectra of ultracold atomic mixtures has not been examined. Here, we examine the low-lying collective modes of (an)harmonically trapped quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates in a Josephson barrier by employing the variational approach and Bogoliubov theory. We first show that the anharmonicity of the external potential leads to an increase in the critical barrier strength of mode softening in a single-species condensate. The Josephson barrier drives the softening of in-phase and out-of-phase dipole modes of two-species Bose-Einstein condensates, and consequently leads to two additional zero-energy Goldstone modes in the miscible phase, in agreement with the variational approach. Furthermore, the sandwich immiscible state results in an additional Goldstone mode due to the barrier, in contrast to the spatially symmetry-broken side-by-side profile. Our results unveil the distinct collective response of the Josephson barrier in binary mixtures owing to interspecies atomic correlations.

Boundary-driven many-body phase transitions in a non-Hermitian disordered fermionic chain

The non-Hermitian systems exhibit extreme sensitivity to the boundary conditions. The change in the eigenspectrum with tunning boundary parameter is intimately connected to the non-Hermitian skin effect. The single-particle systems are affected by the boundary perturbations; however the interplay of a random disorder potential and non-reciprocal hopping under boundary perturbations of an interacting many-body system is not yet clear. In this work, we examine the boundary sensitivity of a non-Hermitian interacting fermionic system in the presence of a random disorder potential. A non-zero boundary parameter results in real-complex spectral transitions with non-reciprocal (or unidirectional) hopping at weak disorder. While the many-body localization at strong disorder washes away real-complex transitions leading to dynamical stability and real eigenvalue spectrum. We show that the boundary-driven real-complex spectral transitions of the non-Hermitian chain are accompanied by the corresponding changes in the level statistics and nearest level-spacing distributions. The intriguing features of non-reciprocity and boundary sensitivity are further revealed using the averaged inverse participation ratios. Finally, we find distinct behaviour in the quench dynamics of local particle density, population imbalance, and entanglement entropy of charge-density-wave ordered state that corroborate the real-complex and localization transitions. Our results provide a route to understanding disordered many-body systems under a generalized boundary.

Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of Bose-Bose mixtures in optical lattices

We examine the quench dynamics across quantum phase transitions from a Mott insulator (MI) to a superfluid (SF) phase in a two-component bosonic mixture in an optical lattice. We show that two-component Bose mixtures exhibit qualitatively different quantum dynamics than one-component Bose gas. Besides second-order MI-SF transitions, we also investigate quench dynamics across a first-order MI-SF transition. The Bose mixtures show the critical slowing down of dynamics near the critical transition point, as proposed by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism. For MI-SF transitions with homogeneous lattice-site distributions in the MI phase, the dynamical critical exponents extracted by the power-law scaling of the proposed quantities obtained via numerical simulations are in very close agreement with the mean-field predictions.

Staggered quantum phases of dipolar bosons at finite temperatures

The extended Bose-Hubbard model with correlated tunneling exhibits staggered superfluid and supersolid quantum phases. We study finite-temperature phase transitions of quantum phases of dipolar bosons in a two-dimensional optical lattice using Gutzwiller mean-field and quantum Monte Carlo approaches. When nearest-neighbor repulsion is comparable to the on-site interaction, we find that the two topologically distinct superfluids are separated by a normal fluid phase, while at stronger off-site interactions, density-modulated insulating quantum phases appear. We estimate the critical temperature of the staggered superfluid to normal fluid transition and show that this transition is of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type. Finally, we elucidate the coexistence of staggered quantum phases in the presence of an external trapping potential. Our study paves a way to observe novel staggered quantum phases in recent dipolar optical lattice experiments.

Non-Hermitian skin effects on many-body localized and thermal phases

Localization in one-dimensional interacting systems can be caused by disorder potentials or non-Hermiticity. The former phenomenon is the many-body localization (MBL), and the latter is the many-body non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE). In this work, we numerically investigate the interplay between these two kinds of localization, where the energy-resolved MBL arises from a deterministic quasiperiodic potential in a fermionic chain. We propose a set of eigenstate properties and long-time dynamics that can collectively distinguish the two localization mechanisms in the presence of non-Hermiticity. By computing the proposed diagnostics, we show that the thermal states are vulnerable to the many-body NHSE while the MBL states remain resilient up to a strong non-Hermiticity. Finally, we discuss experimental observables that can probe the difference between the two localizations in a non-Hermitian quasiperiodic fermionic chain. Our results pave the way toward experimental observations on the interplay of interaction, quasiperiodic potential, and non-Hermiticity.

Non-Hermitian Many-Body Localization with Open Boundaries

The explorations of non-Hermiticity have been devoted to investigate the disorder-induced many-body localization (MBL). However, the sensitivity of the spatial boundary conditions and the interplay of the non-Hermitian skin effect with many-body phenomena are not yet clear. For a MBL system in the presence of non-reciprocal tunnelings and random disorder potential, we identify two different complex-real spectral transitions, one is present for both open and periodic boundaries while the other is present only for open boundaries of a coupled non-Hermitian chains. The later is driven due to the inter-chain coupling at weak disorder where the level statistics of the real eigenenergy phase follows Gaussian orthogonal ensemble. We further characterize wavefunctions through the (biorthogonal) inverse participation ratio and fractal dimension, which reveal the suppression of skin effect in the non-Hermitian MBL phase. Finally, we demonstrate that the quench dynamics of the local particle density, spin imbalance, and entanglement entropy also signify the hallmark of the boundary effects and non-ergodic character of many-body localization.

Spin-orbit coupling driven superfluid states in optical lattices at zero and finite temperatures

We investigate the quantum phase transitions of a two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model in the presence of a Rashba spin-orbit coupling with and without thermal fluctuations. The interplay of single-particle hopping, strength of spin-orbit coupling, and interspin interaction leads to superfluid phases with distinct properties. With interspin interactions weaker than intraspin interactions, the spin-orbit coupling induces two finite-momentum superfluid phases. One of them is a phase-twisted superfluid that exists at low hopping strengths and reduces the domain of insulating phases. At comparatively higher hopping strengths, there is a transition from the phase-twisted to a finite momenta stripe superfluid. With interspin interactions stronger than the intraspin interactions, the system exhibits phase-twisted to ferromagnetic phase transition. At finite temperatures, the thermal fluctuations destroy the phase-twisted superfluidity and lead to a wide region of normal-fluid states. These findings can be observed in recent quantum gas experiments with spin-orbit coupling in optical lattices.

Many-body localization with synthetic gauge fields in disordered Hubbard chains

We analyze the localization properties of the disordered Hubbard model in the presence of a synthetic magnetic field. An analysis of level spacing ratio shows a clear transition from ergodic to many-body localized phase. The transition shifts to larger disorder strengths with increasing magnetic flux. Study of dynamics of local correlations and entanglement entropy indicates that charge excitations remain localized whereas spin degree of freedom gets delocalized in the presence of the synthetic flux. This residual ergodicity is enhanced by the presence of the magnetic field with dynamical observables suggesting incomplete localization at large disorder strengths. Furthermore, we examine the effect of quantum statistics on the local correlations and show that the long-time spin oscillations of a hard-core boson system are destroyed as opposed to the fermionic case.

Staggered superfluid phases of dipolar bosons in two-dimensional square lattices

We study the quantum ground state of ultracold bosons in a two-dimensional square lattice. The bosons interact via the repulsive dipolar interactions and s-wave scattering. The dynamics is described by the extended Bose-Hubbard model including correlated hopping due to the dipolar interactions, the coefficients are found from the second quantized Hamiltonian using the Wannier expansion with realistic parameters. We determine the phase diagram using the Gutzwiller ansatz in the regime where the coefficients of the correlated hopping terms are negative and can interfere with the tunneling due to single-particle effects. We show that this interference gives rise to staggered superfluid and supersolid phases at vanishing kinetic energy, while we identify parameter regions at finite kinetic energy where the phases are incompressible. We compare the results with the phase diagram obtained with the cluster Gutzwiller approach and with the results found in one dimension using DMRG.
