We prove the absence of a direct quantum phase transition between a superfluid and a Mott insulator in a bosonic system with generic, bounded disorder. We also prove compressibility of the system on the superfluid--insulator critical line and in its neighborhood. These conclusions follow from a general {it theorem of inclusions} which states that for any transition in a disordered system one can always find rare regions of the competing phase on either side of the transition line. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for the disordered Bose-Hubbard model show an even stronger result, important for the nature of the Mott insulator to Bose glass phase transition: The critical disorder bound, $Delta_c$, corresponding to the onset of disorder-induced superfluidity, satisfies the relation $Delta_c > E_{rm g/2}$, with $E_{rm g/2}$ the half-width of the Mott gap in the pure system.

We study the superfluid-insulator transition in Bose-Hubbard models in one-, two-, and three-dimensional cubic lattices by means of a recently proposed variational wave function. In one dimension, the variational results agree with the expected Berez
inskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless scenario of the interaction-driven Mott transition. In two and three dimensions, we find evidences that, across the transition,most of the spectral weight is concentrated at high energies, suggestive of pre-formed Mott-Hubbard side-bands. This result is compatible with the experimental data by Stoferle et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 130403 (2004)].
We study the thermodynamics near the generic (density-driven) superfluid--Mott-insulator transition in the three-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model using the nonperturbative renormalization-group approach. At low energy the physics is controlled by the G
aussian fixed point and becomes universal. Thermodynamic quantities can then be expressed in terms of the universal scaling functions of the dilute Bose gas universality class while the microscopic physics enters only {it via} two nonuniversal parameters, namely the effective mass $m^*$ and the scattering length $a^*$ of the elementary excitations at the quantum critical point between the superfluid and Mott-insulating phase. A notable exception is the condensate density in the superfluid phase which is proportional to the quasi-particle weight $Zqp$ of the elementary excitations. The universal regime is defined by $m^*a^*{}^2 Tll 1$ and $m^*a^*{}^2|deltamu|ll 1$, or equivalently $|bar n-bar n_c|a^*{}^3ll 1$, where $deltamu=mu-mu_c$ is the chemical potential shift from the quantum critical point $(mu=mu_c,T=0)$ and $bar n-bar n_c$ the doping with respect to the commensurate density $bar n_c$ of the T=0 Mott insulator. We compute $Zqp$, $m^*$ and $a^*$ and find that they vary strongly with both the ratio $t/U$ between hopping amplitude and on-site repulsion and the value of the (commensurate) density $bar n_c$. Finally, we discuss the experimental observation of universality and the measurement of $Zqp$, $m^*$ and $a^*$ in a cold atomic gas in an optical lattice.
We report on a novel structural Superfluid-Mott Insulator (SF-MI) quantum phase transition for an interacting one-dimensional Bose gas within permeable multi-rod lattices, where the rod lengths are varied from zero to the lattice period length. We us
e the ab-initio diffusion Monte Carlo method to calculate the static structure factor, the insulation gap, and the Luttinger parameter, which we use to determine if the gas is a superfluid or a Mott insulator. For the Bose gas within a square Kronig-Penney (KP) potential, where barrier and well widths are equal, the SF-MI coexistence curve shows the same qualitative and quantitative behavior as that of a typical optical lattice with equal periodicity but slightly larger height. When we vary the width of the barriers from zero to the length of the potential period, keeping the height of the KP barriers, we observe a new way to induce the SF-MI phase transition. Our results are of significant interest, given the recent progress on the realization of optical lattices with a subwavelength structure that would facilitate their experimental observation.
We study the evolution of the energy gap in a unitary Fermi gas as a function of temperature. To this end we approximate the Fermi gas by the Hubbard lattice Hamiltonian and solve using the dynamical mean-field approximation. We have found that below
the critical temperature, Tc, the system is a superfluid and the energy gap is decreasing monotonously. For temperatures above Tc the system is an insulator and the corresponding energy gap is monotonously increasing.
We study phase transition from the Mott insulator to superfluid in a periodic optical lattice. Kibble-Zurek mechanism predicts buildup of winding number through random walk of BEC phases, with the step size scaling as a the third root of transition r
ate. We confirm this and demonstrate that this scaling accounts for the net winding number after the transition.
