SU(N) magnetism in chains of ultracold alkaline-earth-metal atoms: Mott transitions and quantum correlations

Journal Article Manmana, Salvatore R. ; Hazzard, Kaden R. A. ; Gang, Chen ; ... - Physical Review. A

We investigate one-dimensional SU(N) Hubbard chains at zero temperature, which can be emulated with ultracold alkaline-earth-metal atoms, by using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), Bethe ansatz (BA), and bosonization. We compute experimental observables and use the DMRG to benchmark the accuracy of the Bethe ansatz for N>2 where the BA is only approximate. In the worst case, we find a relative error {epsilon} < or approx. 4% in the BA ground-state energy for N{<=}4 at filling 1/N, which is due to the fact that BA improperly treats the triply and higher occupied states. Using the DMRG for N{<=}4 andmore »« less

Controlled hole doping of a Mott insulator of ultracold fermionic atoms

Journal Article Eckardt, Andre ; Lewenstein, Maciej ; ICREA-Institucio Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avancats, Lluis Companys 23, E-08010 Barcelona - Physical Review. A

Considering a system of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, we propose a simple and robust implementation of a quantum simulator for the homogeneous t-J model with a well-controlled fraction of holes x. The proposed experiment can provide valuable insight into the physics of cuprate superconductors. A similar scheme applied to bosons, moreover, allows one to investigate experimentally the subtle role of inhomogeneity when a system passes from one quantum phase to another.

Thermometry and refrigeration in a two-component Mott insulator of ultracold atoms

Journal Article Weld, David M ; Miyake, Hirokazu ; Medley, Patrick ; ... - Physical Review. A

Interesting spin Hamiltonians can be realized with ultracold atoms in a two-component Mott insulator (2CMI) [Adv. Phys. 56, 243 (2007); Rev. Mod. Phys. 80, 885 (2008)]. It was recently demonstrated that the application of a magnetic field gradient to the 2CMI enables new techniques of thermometry [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 245301 (2009)] and adiabatic cooling [e-print arXiv:1006.4674]. Here we present a theoretical description which provides quantitative analysis of these two techniques. We show that adiabatic reduction of the field gradient is capable of cooling below the Curie or Neel temperature of certain spin-ordered phases.

Probing Number Squeezing of Ultracold Atoms across the Superfluid-Mott Insulator Transition

Journal Article Gerbier, Fabrice ; Foelling, Simon ; Widera, Artur ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The evolution of on-site number fluctuations of ultracold atoms in optical lattices is experimentally investigated by monitoring the suppression of spin-changing collisions across the superfluid-Mott insulator transition. For low atom numbers, corresponding to an average filling factor close to unity, large on-site number fluctuations are necessary for spin-changing collisions to occur. The continuous suppression of spin-changing collisions is thus direct evidence for the emergence of number-squeezed states. In the Mott insulator regime, we find that spin-changing collisions are suppressed until a threshold atom number, consistent with the number where a Mott plateau with doubly occupied sites is expected to form.

Finite-temperature effects on the number fluctuation of ultracold atoms across the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition

Journal Article Xiancong, Lu ; Yue, Yu - Physical Review. A

We study the thermodynamics of ultracold Bose atoms in optical lattices by numerically diagonalizing the mean-field Hamiltonian of the Bose-Hubbard model. This method well describes the behavior of long-range correlations and therefore is valid deep in the superfluid phase. For the homogeneous Bose-Hubbard model, we draw the finite-temperature phase diagram and calculate the superfluid density at unity filling. We evaluate the finite-temperature effects in a recent experiment probing number fluctuation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 090401 (2006)], and find that our finite-temperature curves give a better fitting to the experimental data, implying non-negligible temperature effects in this experiment.
