Long-range order in quantum many-body systems is usually associated with equilibrium situations. Here, we experimentally investigate the quasicondensation of strongly-interacting bosons at finite momenta in a far-from-equilibrium case. We prepare an inhomogeneous initial state consisting of one-dimensional Mott insulators in the center of otherwise empty one-dimensional chains in an optical lattice with a lattice constant $d$. After suddenly quenching the trapping potential to zero, we observe the onset of coherence in spontaneously forming quasicondensates in the lattice. Remarkably, the emerging phase order differs from the ground-state order and is characterized by peaks at finite momenta $pm (pi/2) (hbar / d)$ in the momentum distribution function.

Spin liquids occuring in 2D frustrated spin systems were initially assumed to appear at strongest frustration, but evidence grows that they more likely intervene at transitions between two different types of order. To identify if this is more general, we here analyze a generalization of the spatially anisotropic triangular lattice (SATL) with antiferromagnetic XY interactions, the spatially emph{completely} anisotropic triangular lattice (SCATL). This model can be implemented in experiments with trapped ions, ultra-small Josephson junctions, or ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Using Takahashis modified spin-wave theory, we find indications that indeed two different kinds of order are always separated by phases without magnetic long-range order. Our results further suggest that two gapped, magnetically-disordered phases, identified as distinct in the SATL, are actually continuously connected via the additional anisotropy of the SCATL. As these results indicate, this additional anisotropy -- allowing to approach quantum-disordered phases from different angles -- can give fundamental insight into the nature of quantum disordered phases. We complement our results by exact diagonalizations, which also indicate that in part of the gapped non-magnetic phase, chiral long-range correlations could survive.
Motivated by the realization of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in non-cubic lattices, in this work we study the phases and collective excitation of bosons with nearest neighbor interaction in a triangular lattice at finite temperature, using mean field (MF) and cluster mean field (CMF) theory. We compute the finite temperature phase diagram both for hardcore and softcore bosons, as well analyze the effect of correlation arising due to lattice frustration and interaction systematically using CMF method. A semi-analytic estimate of the transition temperatures between different phases are derived within the framework of MF Landau theory, particularly for hardcore bosons. Apart from the usual phases such as density waves (DW) and superfluid (SF), we also characterize different supersolids (SS). These phases and their transitions at finite temperature are identified from the collective modes. The low lying excitations, particularly Goldstone and Higgs modes of the supersolid can be detected in the ongoing cold atom experiments.
In recent years, dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) have emerged as a useful theoretical concept to characterize nonequilibrium states of quantum matter. DQPTs are marked by singular behavior in an textit{effective free energy} $lambda(t)$, which, however, is a global measure, making its experimental or theoretical detection challenging in general. We introduce two local measures for the detection of DQPTs with the advantage of requiring fewer resources than the full effective free energy. The first, called the textit{real-local} effective free energy $lambda_M(t)$, is defined in real space and is therefore suitable for systems where locally resolved measurements are directly accessible such as in quantum-simulator experiments involving Rydberg atoms or trapped ions. We test $lambda_M(t)$ in Ising chains with nearest-neighbor and power-law interactions, and find that this measure allows extraction of the universal critical behavior of DQPTs. The second measure we introduce is the textit{momentum-local} effective free energy $lambda_k(t)$, which is targeted at systems where momentum-resolved quantities are more naturally accessible, such as through time-of-flight measurements in ultracold atoms. We benchmark $lambda_k(t)$ for the Kitaev chain, a paradigmatic system for topological quantum matter, in the presence of weak interactions. Our introduced local measures for effective free energies can further facilitate the detection of DQPTs in modern quantum-simulator experiments.
Magneto-transport of hard core bosons (HCB) is studied using an XXZ quantum spin model representation, appropriately gauged on the torus to allow for an external magnetic field. We find strong lattice effects near half filling. An effective quantum mechanical description of the vortex degrees of freedom is derived. Using semiclassical and numerical analysis we compute the vortex hopping energy, which at half filling is close to magnitude of the boson hopping energy. The critical quantum melting density of the vortex lattice is estimated at 6.5x10-5 vortices per unit cell. The Hall conductance is computed from the Chern numbers of the low energy eigenstates. At zero temperature, it reverses sign abruptly at half filling. At precisely half filling, all eigenstates are doubly degenerate for any odd number of flux quanta. We prove the exact degeneracies on the torus by constructing an SU(2) algebra of point-group symmetries, associated with the center of vorticity. This result is interpreted as if each vortex carries an internal spin-half degree of freedom (vspin), which can manifest itself as a charge density modulation in its core. Our findings suggest interesting experimental implications for vortex motion of cold atoms in optical lattices, and magnet-transport of short coherence length superconductors.
We investigate the strongly interacting hard-core anyon gases in a one dimensional harmonic potential at finite temperature by extending thermal Bose-Fermi mapping method to thermal anyon-ferimon mapping method. With thermal anyon-fermion mapping method we obtain the reduced one-body density matrix and therefore the momentum distribution for different statistical parameters and temperatures. At low temperature hard-core anyon gases exhibit the similar properties as those of ground state, which interpolate between Bose-like and Fermi-like continuously with the evolution of statistical properties. At high temperature hard-core anyon gases of different statistical properties display the same reduced one-body density matrix and momentum distribution as those of spin-polarized fermions. The Tans contact of hard-core anyon gas at finite temperature is also evaluated, which take the simple relation with that of Tonks-Girardeau gas $C_b$ as $C=frac12(1-coschipi)C_b$.
