Hubbard Model for Atomic Impurities Bound by the Vortex Lattice of a Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensate

Abstract: We investigate cold bosonic impurity atoms trapped in a vortex lattice formed by condensed bosons of another species. We describe the dynamics of the impurities by a bosonic Hubbard model containing occupation-dependent parameters to capture the effects of strong impurity-impurity interactions. These include both a repulsive direct interaction and an attractive effective interaction mediated by the Bose-Einstein condensate. The occupation dependence of these two competing interactions drastically affects the H… Show more

“…The inherent smoothness of dressed potentials generated from macroscopic coils is ideally suited for mechanical rotation experiments, and for species where the mass differs by only a few percent the centrifugal separation of the mixture is minimal. This could be used to realize impurities bound to the vortex cores of a rotating condensate [61].…”

“…A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) doped with impurities [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] provides an ideal platform for the study of micromicro and micro-macro entanglement where microscopic impurities meets a macroscopic matter, the BEC. As the interaction among Rydberg impurity atoms [40][41][42][43][44][45] can be tailored by electric fields and microwave fields [46,47] while the BEC allows for an extremely precise control of interatomic interactions by manipulating s-wave scattering length [48,49], they can build a precisely controllable micro-macro quantum systems [50].…”

“…Lattice models, such as the Heisenberg or Hubbard models 5 , 6 have been extremely important for the understanding of strongly-correlated many-particle systems. Despite their simplicity, when employed appropriately, these models are able to capture phenomena sufficiently accurately: the Hubbard model has been shown to reproduce the Mott metal-insulator transition, and has been recently associated to the behaviour of ‘exotic’ systems such as inhomogeneous superfluidity in spin-imbalanced systems 7 , 8 , chains of Bose-Einstein condensates 9 , or entanglement in nanostructures 10 , 11 . However, when interactions and inhomogeneities are included, even these lattice models can rapidly become computationally intractable as the size of the systems increases.…”
