Stability and structure of two coupled boson systems in an external field

The lowest adiabatic potential expressed in hyperspherical coordinates is estimated for two boson systems in an external harmonic trap. Corresponding conditions for stability are investigated and the related structures are extracted for zero-range interactions. Strong repulsion between non-identical particles leads to two new features, respectively when identical particles attract or repel each other. For repulsion new stable structures arise with displaced center of masses. For attraction the mean-field stability region is restricted due to motion of the center of masses

ANALYTIC STRUCTURE OF SOLUTIONS TO MULTICONFIGURATION EQUATIONS

Abstract. We study the regularity at the positions of the (fixed) nuclei of solutions to (non-relativistic) multiconfiguration equations (including Hartree–Fock) of Coulomb systems. We prove the following: Let {ϕ1,..., ϕM} be any solution to the rank–M multiconfiguration equations for a molecule with L fixed nuclei at R1,..., RL ∈ R 3. Then, for any j ∈ {1,..., M}, k ∈ {1,..., L}, there exists a neighbourhood Uj,k ⊆ R 3 of Rk, and functions ϕ (1) j,k, ϕ(2) j,k, real analytic in Uj,k, such that ϕj(x) = ϕ (1) (2) j,k (x) + |x − Rk|ϕ j,k (x), x ∈ Uj,k. A similar result holds for the corresponding electron density. The proof uses the Kustaanheimo–Stiefel transformation, as applied in [9] to the study of the eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger operator of atoms and molecules near two-particle coalescence points. 1.

Signatures of the superfluid to Mott insulator transition in equilibrium and in dynamical ramps

We investigate the equilibrium and dynamical properties of the Bose-Hubbard model and the related particle-hole symmetric spin-1 model in the vicinity of the superfluid to Mott insulator quantum phase transition. We employ the following methods: exact-diagonalization, mean field (Gutzwiller), cluster mean-field, and mean-field plus Gaussian fluctuations. In the first part of the paper we benchmark the four methods by analyzing the equilibrium problem and give numerical estimates for observables such as the density of double occupancies and their correlation function. In the second part, we study parametric ramps from the superfluid to the Mott insulator and map out the crossover from the regime of fast ramps, which is dominated by local physics, to the regime of slow ramps with a characteristic universal power law scaling, which is dominated by long wavelength excitations. We calculate values of several relevant physical observables, characteristic time scales, and an optimal protocol needed for observing universal scaling.Comment: 23 pages, 13 figure
