Bose-Hubbard model in a ring-shaped optical lattice with high filling factors

Abstract: The high-barrier quantum tunneling regime of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a ring-shaped optical lattice is investigated. By means of a change of basis transformation, connecting the set of "vortex" Bloch states and a Wannier-like set of localized wave functions, we derive a generalized Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. In addition to the usual hopping rate terms, such a Hamiltonian takes into account interaction-driven tunneling processes, which are shown to play a principal role at high filling factors, whe… Show more

“…As a tractable quantum many-body generalization of this effectively one-dimensional system, we use a periodic Bose-Hubbard model with fixed particle number. Here the model can be regarded as a discretization of the ring geometry or a ring lattice formed by a toroidal trap in superposition with radial barriers [31]. Given in hopping units, where the time scale becomes the hopping time /J and energies are scaled by J, we havê…”

“…It is interesting to recall that J may be negative, as occurs in the present calculations, while J eff remains always positive [14]. The TM equations (18) and (19) can also be derived from the "classical" Hamiltonian…”

“…This can be easily verified by noting that the stationary state with 013636-2 winding number n = 1 has uniform phases at the right and left wells with values φ = 0 and φ = π , respectively [20]. Here we may recall that this only occurs in the regime of large barriers [14], where ψ 1 (r) = ψ −1 (r) may be taken as a real function that does not carry any angular momentum and hence does not correspond to a "vortex" state [20].…”

“…The equations of motion of the multimode model has been previously studied both for multiple-well systems in general [20,25] and also in the case of a four-well system [16,18]. Here, we only review its main ingredients, focusing in the definition of their localized states extracted from the stationary solutions of the GP equations.…”
