Title: Competing exotic quantum phases of spin- 1 2 ultracold lattice bosons with extended spin interactions

Abstract

Advances in pure optical trapping techniques now allow the creation of degenerate Bose gases with internal degrees of freedom. Systems such as 87Rb, 39K or 23Na in the F = 1 hyperfine state offer an ideal platform for studying the interplay of super fluidity and quantum magnetism. Motivated by the experimental developments, we study ground state phases of a two-component Bose gas loaded on an optical lattice. We describe this effectively by the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian with onsite and near neighbor spin-spin interactions. One important feature of our investigation is the inclusion of interconversion (spin-flip) terms between the two species, which has been observed in optical lattice experiments. Furthermore, using mean-field theory and quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we map out the phase diagram of the system. A rich variety of phases is identified, including antiferromagnetic (AF) Mott insulators, ferromagnetic and AF super fluids.
