We analytically calculate the spatial nonlocal pair correlation function for an interacting uniform 1D Bose gas at finite temperature and propose an experimental method to measure nonlocal correlations. Our results span six different physical realms, including the weakly and strongly interacting regimes. We show explicitly that the characteristic correlation lengths are given by one of four length scales: the thermal de Broglie wavelength, the mean interparticle separation, the healing length, or the phase coherence length. In all regimes, we identify the profound role of interactions and find that under certain conditions the pair correlation may develop a global maximum at a finite interparticle separation due to the competition between repulsive interactions and thermal effects.
The behavior of the spatial two-particle correlation function is surveyed in detail for a uniform 1D Bose gas with repulsive contact interactions at finite temperatures. Both long-, medium-, and short-range effects are investigated. The results span the entire range of physical regimes, from ideal gas, to strongly interacting, and from zero temperature to high temperature. We present perturbative analytic methods, available at strong and weak coupling, and first-principle numerical results using imaginary time simulations with the gauge-P representation in regimes where perturbative methods are invalid. Nontrivial effects are observed from the interplay of thermally induced bunching behavior versus interaction induced antibunching.
We consider the 1d interacting Bose gas in the presence of time-dependent and spatially inhomogeneous contact interactions. Within its attractive phase, the gas allows for bound states of an arbitrary number of particles, which are eventually populated if the system is dynamically driven from the repulsive to the attractive regime. Building on the framework of Generalized Hydrodynamics, we analytically determine the formation of bound states in the limit of adiabatic changes in the interactions. Our results are valid for arbitrary initial thermal states and, more generally, Generalized Gibbs Ensembles.
We determine the phase diagram and the momentum distribution for a one-dimensional Bose gas with repulsive short range interactions in the presence of a two-color lattice potential, with incommensurate ratio among the respective wave lengths, by using a combined numerical (DMRG) and analytical (bosonization) analysis. The system displays a delocalized (superfluid) phase at small values of the intensity of the secondary lattice V2 and a localized (Bose glass-like) phase at larger intensity V2. We analyze the localization transition as a function of the height V2 beyond the known limits of free and hard-core bosons. We find that weak repulsive interactions unfavor the localized phase i. e. they increase the critical value of V2 at which localization occurs. In the case of integer filling of the primary lattice, the phase diagram at fixed density displays, in addition to a transition from a superfluid to a Bose glass phase, a transition to a Mott-insulating state for not too large V2 and large repulsion. We also analyze the emergence of a Bose-glass phase by looking at the evolution of the Mott-insulator lobes when increasing V2. The Mott lobes shrink and disappear above a critical value of V2. Finally, we characterize the superfluid phase by the momentum distribution, and show that it displays a power-law decay at small momenta typical of Luttinger liquids, with an exponent depending on the combined effect of the interactions and of the secondary lattice. In addition, we observe two side peaks which are due to the diffraction of the Bose gas by the second lattice. This latter feature could be observed in current experiments as characteristics of pseudo-random Bose systems.
$mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformation was originally proposed as an irrelevant solvable deformation for 2d relativistic quantum field theories (QFTs). The same family of deformations can also be defined for integrable quantum spin chains which was first studied in the context of integrability in AdS/CFT. In this paper, we construct such deformations for yet another type of models, which describe a collection of particles moving in 1d and interacting in an integrable manner. The prototype of such models is the Lieb-Liniger model. This shows that such deformations can be defined for a very wide range of systems. We study the finite volume spectrum and thermodynamics of the $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$-deformed Lieb-Liniger model. We find that for one sign of the deformation parameter $(lambda<0)$, the deformed spectrum becomes complex when the volume of the system is smaller than certain critical value, signifying the break down of UV physics. For the other sign $(lambda>0)$, there exists an upper bound for the temperature, similar to the Hagedorn behavior of the $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformed QFTs. Both behaviors can be attributed to the fact that $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformation changes the size the particles. We show that for $lambda>0$, the deformation increases the spaces between particles which effectively increases the volume of the system. For $lambda<0$, $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformation fattens point particles to finite size hard rods. This is similar to the observation that the action of $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$-deformed free boson is the Nambu-Goto action, which describes bosonic strings -- also an extended object with finite size.
In 1963, a Simple Approach was developed to study the ground state energy of an interacting Bose gas. It consists in the derivation of an Equation, which is not based on perturbation theory, and which gives the exact expansion of the energy at low densities. This Equation is expressed directly in the thermodynamic limit, and only involves functions of $3$ variables, rather than $3N$. Here, we revisit this approach, and show that the Equation yields accurate predictions for various observables for all densities. Specifically, in addition to the ground state energy, we have shown that the Simple Approach gives predictions for the condensate fraction, two-point correlation function, and momentum distribution. We have carried out a variety of tests by comparing the predictions of the Equation with Quantum Monte Carlo calculations, and have found remarkable agreement. We thus show that the Simple Approach provides a new theoretical tool to understand the behavior of the many-body Bose gas, not only in the small and large density ranges, which have been studied before, but also in the range of intermediate density, for which little is known.
