We study the effects of the repulsive on-site interactions on the broadening of the localized Wannier functions used for calculating the parameters to describe ultracold atoms in optical lattices. For this, we replace the common single-particle Wannier functions, which do not contain any information about the interactions, by two-particle Wannier functions (Twonniers) obtained from an exact solution which takes the interactions into account. We then use these interaction-dependent basis functions to calculate the Bose--Hubbard model parameters, showing that they are substantially different both at low and high lattice depths, from the ones calculated using single-particle Wannier functions. Our results suggest that density effects are not negligible for many parameter ranges and need to be taken into account in metrology experiments.

We address the effects of quenched disorder averaging in the time-evolution of systems of ultracold atoms in optical lattices in the presence of noise, imposed by of an environment. For bosonic systems governed by the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we qua ntify the response of disorder in Hamiltonian parameters in terms of physical observables, including bipartite entanglement in the ground state and report the existence of disorder-induced enhancement in weakly interacting cases. For systems of two-species fermions described by the Fermi-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we find similar results. In both cases, our dynamical calculations show no appreciable change in the effects of disorder from that of the initial state of the evolution. We explain our findings in terms the statistics of the disorder in the parameters and the behaviour of the observables with the parameters.
We study the ground-state properties of ultracold bosons in an optical lattice in the regime of strong interactions. The system is described by a non-standard Bose-Hubbard model with both occupation-dependent tunneling and on-site interaction. We fin d that for sufficiently strong coupling the system features a phase-transition from a Mott insulator with one particle per site to a superfluid of spatially extended particle pairs living on top of the Mott background -- instead of the usual transition to a superfluid of single particles/holes. Increasing the interaction further, a superfluid of particle pairs localized on a single site (rather than being extended) on top of the Mott background appears. This happens at the same interaction strength where the Mott-insulator phase with 2 particles per site is destroyed completely by particle-hole fluctuations for arbitrarily small tunneling. In another regime, characterized by weak interaction, but high occupation numbers, we observe a dynamical instability in the superfluid excitation spectrum. The new ground state is a superfluid, forming a 2D slab, localized along one spatial direction that is spontaneously chosen.
Activating transitions between a set of atomic internal states has emerged as an elegant scheme by which lattice models can be designed in ultracold atomic gases. In this approach, the internal states can be viewed as fictitious lattice sites defined along a synthetic dimension, hence offering a powerful method by which the spatial dimensionality of the system can be extended. Inter-particle collisions generically lead to infinite-range interactions along the synthetic dimensions, which a priori precludes the design of Bose-Hubbard-type models featuring on-site interactions. In this article, we solve this obstacle by introducing a protocol that realizes strong and tunable on-site interactions along an atomic synthetic dimension. Our scheme is based on pulsing strong intra-spin interactions in a fast and periodic manner, hence realizing the desired on-site interactions in a digital (Trotterized) manner. We explore the viability of this protocol by means of numerical calculations, which we perform on various examples that are relevant to ultracold-atom experiments. This general method, which could be applied to various atomic species by means of fast-response protocols based on Fano-Feshbach resonances, opens the route for the exploration of strongly-correlated matter in synthetic dimensions.

Ever since the first observation of Bose-Einstein condensation in the nineties, ultracold quantum gases have been the subject of intense research, providing a unique tool to understand the behavior of matter governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Ultracold bosonic atoms loaded in an optical lattice are usually described by the Bose-Hubbard model or a variant of it. In addition to the common insulating and superfluid phases, other phases (like density waves and supersolids) may show up in the presence of a short-range interparticle repulsion and also depending on the geometry of the lattice. We herein explore this possibility, using the graph of a convex polyhedron as lattice and playing with the coordination of nodes to promote the wanted finite-size ordering. To accomplish the job we employ the method of decoupling approximation, whose efficacy is tested in one case against exact diagonalization. We report zero-temperature results for two Catalan solids, the tetrakis hexahedron and the pentakis dodecahedron, for which a thorough ground-state analysis reveals the existence of insulating phases with polyhedral order and a widely extended supersolid region. The key to this outcome is the unbalance in coordination between inequivalent nodes of the graph. The predicted phases can be probed in systems of ultracold atoms using programmable holographic optical tweezers.
We investigate the effects of an extended Bose-Hubbard model with a long range hopping term on the Mott insulator-superfluid quantum phase transition. We consider the effects of a power law decaying hopping term and show that the Mott phase is shrink ed in the parameters space. We provide an exact solution for one dimensional lattices and then two approximations for higher dimensions, each one valid in a specific range of the power law exponent: a continuum approximation and a discrete one. Finally, we extend these results to a more realistic situation, where the long range hopping term is made by a power law factor and a screening exponential term and study the main effects on the Mott lobes.
