Title: Phase coherence and fragmentation in weakly interacting bosonic gases

   We present a theory of measurement-induced interference for weakly
interacting Bose-Einstein condensed (BEC) gases. The many-body state resulting
from the evolution of an initial fragmented (Fock) state can be approximated as
a continuous superposition of Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) states; the measurement
breaks the initial phase symmetry, producing a distribution pattern
corresponding to only one of the GP solutions. We discuss also analytically
solvable models, such as two-mode on-chip adiabatic recombination and soliton
generation in quasi one-dimensional condensates.

   We design an ingenious scheme to realize the Haldane's quantum Hall model
without Landau level by using ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice.
Three standing-wave laser beams are used to construct a wanted honeycomb
lattice, where different on-site energies in two sublattices required in the
Haldane's model can be implemented through tuning the phase of one of the laser
beams. The staggered magnetic field is generated from the Berry phase
associated with the atom moving in a region with other three standing-wave
laser beams. Moreover, we establish a relation between the Hall conductivity
and the equilibrium atomic density upon turning on a stimulated uniform
magnetic field, which enables us to detect the topological Chern number with
the density profile measurement technique that is typically used in ultracold
atoms experiments.

Title: Bose-Einstein Quantum Statistics and the Ground State of Solid 4He

   The ground state of solid $^4$He is studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo
method and a new trial wave function able to describe the supersolid. The new
wave function is symmetric under the exchange of particles and reproduces the
experimental equation of state. Results for the one-body density matrix show
the existence of off-diagonal long-range order with a very small condensate
fraction $\sim 10^{-4}$. The superfluid density of the commensurate system is
below our resolution threshold, $\rho_s/\rho < 10^{-5}$. With a 1%
concentration of vacancies the superfluid density is manifestly larger,
$\rho_s/\rho=3.2(1) \cdot 10^{-3}$.

   We consider a Jepsen gas of $N$ hard-point particles undergoing free
expansion on a line, starting from random initial positions of the particles
having random initial velocities. The particles undergo binary elastic
collisions upon contact and move freely in-between collisions. After a certain
ordering time $T_{o}$, the system reaches a ``fan'' state where all the
velocities are completely ordered from left to right in an increasing fashion
and there is no further collision. We compute analytically the distributions of
(i) the total number of collisions and (ii) the ordering time $T_{o}$. We show
that several features of these distributions are universal.

Title: The Binder Cumulant at the Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition
Authors: Martin Hasenbusch
Categories: cond-mat.stat-mech
Comments: 27 pages, 1 figure
License: http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
\\
   We study the behaviour of the Binder cumulant on finite square lattices at
the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. We determine the fixed point value of
the Binder cumulant and the coefficient of the leading logarithmic correction.
These calculations are supplemented with Monte Carlo simulations of the
classical XY (plane rotator) model, the Villain model and the dual of the
absolute value solid-on-solid model. Using the single cluster algorithm, we
simulate lattices up to L=4096. For the lattice sizes reached, subleading
corrections are needed to fit the data for the Binder cumulant. We demonstrate
that the combined analysis of the Binder cumulant and the second moment
correlation length over the lattice size allows for an accurate determination
of the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature on relatively small lattices.
We test the new method at the example of the 2-component phi^4 model on the
lattice.

   Two-component polarized Fermi gases at low temperature represent a new normal
Fermi liquid. We show that measurements of the relaxation of the dipole mode
for relative motion of the two components, which corresponds to the giant
resonance in nuclei, will give valuable information about amplitudes for mutual
scattering of the two components. Using the concepts of Fermi-liquid theory, we
estimate the relaxation time for counterflow of the two components, and show
that for current experimental conditions, the motion of the dipole mode would
be intermediate between the hydrodynamic and collisionless limits.

Title: Bose-Einstein Condensation of Gases in the Frame of Quantum
   Electrodynamics: Interconnection of Constituents
Authors: Mark E. Perel'man
Categories: cond-mat.other physics.gen-ph
Comments: 6 pages

\\
   Bose-Einstein condensate of rarified atomic gases is considered as the state
formed by exchange of virtual photons, resonant to the lowest levels of atoms;
such representation corresponds to the Einstein opinion about an
inter-influence of condensable particles. Considered interactions directly lead
to the QED structure of nonlinear potential in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
Linear momenta that correspond to the thermal energy of condensable atoms are
connected to near field of particles and therefore leave atoms immovable. The
estimations of these effects do not contradict the observed data; the general
quantum principles predict possibility of stimulating of BEC formation by
resonant irradiation. All this requires the spectroscopic investigation of BEC
on different steps of formation.

   We study the quantum phase transitions in a two component bose-mixture in a
one-dimensional optical lattice. The calculations have been performed in the
framework of the extended Bose-Hubbard model using the finite size density
matrix renormalization group method. We obtain different phase transitions for
the system for integer filling. When the inter-species on-site and the nearest
neighbor interactions are larger than the intra-species on-site and also the
nearest neighbor interactions, the system exhibits a phase separated charge
density wave (PSCDW) order that is characterized by the two species being
spatially separated and existing in the density wave phases.

Title: Quantum circuits for strongly correlated quantum systems
Authors: Frank Verstraete, J. Ignacio Cirac, Jose I. Latorre
Categories: quant-ph

\\
   In recent years, we have witnessed an explosion of experimental tools by
which quantum systems can be manipulated in a controlled and coherent way. One
of the most important goals now is to build quantum simulators, which would
open up the possibility of exciting experiments probing various theories in
regimes that are not achievable under normal lab circumstances. Here we present
a novel approach to gain detailed control on the quantum simulation of strongly
correlated quantum many-body systems by constructing the explicit quantum
circuits that diagonalize their dynamics. We show that the exact quantum
circuits underlying some of the most relevant many-body Hamiltonians only need
a finite amount of local gates. As a particularly simple instance, the full
dynamics of a one-dimensional Quantum Ising model in a transverse field with
four spins is shown to be reproduced using a quantum circuit of only six local
gates. This opens up the possibility of experimentally producing strongly
correlated states, their time evolution at zero time and even thermal
superpositions at zero temperature. Our method also allows to uncover the exact
circuits corresponding to models that exhibit topological order and to
stabilizer states.

   A method able to deal with snapshot experimental data, such as the
instantaneous particle distributions in a quantum many-body system, is
presented. Subjecting the many-body wave function to a phase transformation
allows introducing as variables the discrete number of particles detected at
various locations, and the complete statistics of particle distributions is
obtained. To demonstrate the efficiency of the method, we apply it to the
snapshot density statistics of two interfering Bose-Einstein condensates, and
show that it allows a complete discussion of the statistics of interference
fringes in the matter waves.

\\
   We study ground-state properties of interacting two-component boson gases in
a one-dimensional harmonic trap by using the exact numerical diagonalization
method. Based on numerical solutions of many-body Hamiltonians, we calculate
the ground-state density distributions in the whole interaction regime for
different atomic number ratio, intra- and inter-atomic interactions. For the
case with equal intra- and inter-atomic interactions, our results clearly
display the evolution of density distributions from a Bose condensate
distribution to a Fermi-like distribution with the increase of the repulsive
interaction. Particularly, we compare our result in the strong interaction
regime to the exact result in the infinitely repulsive limit which can be
obtained by a generalized Bose-Fermi mapping. We also discuss the general case
with different intra- and inter-atomic interactions and show the rich
configurations of the density profiles.

   In this work we study ultracold Fermions confined in a two-dimensional
optical lattice and we explore the Mott-insulator transition with the
Fermi-Hubbard model. On the basis of a mean-field approach, we study the phase
diagrams in the presence of a harmonic trapping potential. Local Mott-insulator
phases are shown to be generally situated in the center of the trap and
correspond to a vanishing variance of the local density. We then study the
effects induced by rotation on the Mott-insulator phase transition. In
particular, we show that the phase boundary reproduces the edge of the
Hofstadter butterfly.

   We observe a sudden breakdown of the transport of a strongly repulsive
Bose-Einstein condensate through a shallow optical lattice of finite width. By
using accurate numerical methods and an analytical description in terms of
nonlinear Bloch waves, we attribute this behavior to the development of a
self-trapped state. The dependence of this drop on the lattice depth and the
interaction strength is investigated. We show that by applying a constant
offset potential to the lattice region it is possible to prohibit this
self-trapping. We also observe the disappearance of the self-trapped state
after a finite time as a result of the finiteness of the lattice.

   Rescattering electrons offer great potential as probes of molecular
properties on ultrafast timescales. The most famous example is molecular
tomography, in which high harmonic spectra of oriented molecules are mapped to
``tomographic images'' of the relevant molecular orbitals. The accuracy of such
reconstructions may be greatly affected by the distortion of scattering
wavefunctions from their asymptotic forms due to interactions with the parent
ion. We investigate the validity of the commonly used plane wave approximation
in molecular tomography, showing how such distortions affect the resulting
orbital reconstructions.

Title: Nonlinear dynamics in an alternating gradient guide for neutral
   particles

Comments: 31 pages, 12 figures

\\
   Neutral particles can be guided and focussed using electric field gradients
that focus in one transverse direction and defocus in the other, alternating
between the two directions. Such a guide is suitable for transporting particles
that are attracted to strong electric fields, which cannot be guided using
static fields. Particles are only transmitted if their initial positions and
transverse speeds lie within the guide's phase space acceptance. Nonlinear
forces are always present in the guide and can severely reduce this acceptance.
We consider the effects of the two most important nonlinear forces, a term in
the force that is cubic in the off-axis displacement, and a nonlinear term
which couples together the two transverse motions. We use approximate
analytical techniques, along with numerical methods, to calculate the influence
of these nonlinear forces on the particle trajectories and on the phase space
acceptance. The cubic term alters the focussing and defocussing powers, leading
either to an increase or a decrease of the acceptance depending on its sign. We
find an approximate analytical result for the phase space acceptance including
this cubic term. Using a perturbation method we show how the coupling term
leads to slow changes in the amplitudes of the transverse oscillations. This
term reduces the acceptance when it reduces the focussing power, but has little
influence when it increases that power. It is not possible to eliminate both
nonlinear terms, but one can be made small at the expense of the other. We show
how to choose the guide parameters so that the acceptance is optimized.

   We study the phase diagram of a two component Fermi system with a weak
attractive interaction. Our analysis includes the leading order Hartree energy
shifts and pairing correlations at finite temperature and chemical potential
difference between the two fermion species. We show that in an asymmetric
system, the Hartree shift to the single particle energies are important for the
phase competition between normal and superfluid phase and can change the phase
transition curve qualitatively. At large asymmetry we find that a novel but
somewhat fragile superfluid state can be favored due to finite temperature
effects. We also investigate the transition between the normal phase and an
inhomogeneous superfluid phase to study how gradient instabilities evolve with
temperature and asymmetry. Finally, we adopt our analysis to study the density
profiles of similar asymmetric Fermi systems that are being observed in cold
atom experiments.

path-integral imaginary time approach that together with boundary conformal
field theory allows to derive the time and space dependence of general
correlation functions. The latter are explicitly obtained for the Ising
universality class, and the typical behavior of one- and two-point functions is
derived for the general case. Possible connections with the stochastic Loewner
evolution are discussed and explicit results for one-point time dependent
averages are obtained for generic \kappa for boundary conditions corresponding
to SLE. We use this set of results to predict the time evolution of the
entanglement entropy and obtain the universal constant shift due to the
presence of a domain wall in the initial state.

   We demonstrate optical nonlinearities due to the interaction of weak optical
fields with the collective motion of a strongly dispersive ultracold gas. The
combination of a recoil-induced resonance (RIR) in the high gain regime and
optical waveguiding within the dispersive medium enables us to achieve a
collective atomic cooperativity of $275 \pm 50$ even in the absence of a
cavity. As a result, we observe optical bistability at input powers as low as
20 pW. The present scheme allows for dynamic optical control of the dispersive
properties of the ultracold gas using very weak pulses of light. The
experimental observations are in good agreement with a theoretical model.

them with the environment in order to refine the approximation. By making use

long-range interaction that can be systematically approximated by a series of
decaying exponentials. We apply our techniques to compute the ground state of

   I revisit the infinite-size variant of the Density Matrix Renormalization
Group (iDMRG) algorithm for obtaining a fixed-point translationally invariant
matrix product wavefunction in the context of one-dimensional quantum systems.
A crucial ingredient of this algorithm is an efficient transformation for
obtaining the matrix elements of the wavefunction as the lattice size is
increased, and I introduce here a versatile transformation that is demonstrated
to be much more effective than previous versions. The resulting algorithm has a
surprisingly close relationship to Vidal's Time Evolving Block Decimation for
infinite systems, but allows much faster convergence. Access to a
translationally invariant matrix product state allows the calculation of
correlation functions based on the transfer matrix, which directly gives the
spectrum of all correlation lengths. I also show some advantages of the Matrix
Product Operator (MPO) technique for constructing expectation values of higher
moments, such as the exact variance $<(H-E)^2>$.

Categories: cond-mat.stat-mech
License: http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
\\
   We study various properties of an ultracold two-dimensional (2D) Bose gas
that are beyond a mean-field description. We first derive the effective
interaction for such a system as realized in current experiments, which
requires the use of an energy dependent $T$-matrix. Using this result, we then
solve the mean-field equation of state of the modified Popov theory, and
compare it with the usual Hartree-Fock theory. We show that even though the
former theory does not suffer from infrared divergences in both the normal and
superfluid phases, there is an unphysical density discontinuity close to the
Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. We then improve upon the mean-field
description by using a renormalization group approach and show how the density
discontinuity is resolved. The flow equations in 2D, in particular of the
symmetry-broken phase, already contain some unique features pertinent to the 2D
XY model, even though vortices have not been included explicitly. We also
compute various many-body correlators, and show that correlation effects beyond
the Hartree-Fock theory are important already in the normal phase as
criticality is approached. We finally extend our results to the inhomogeneous
case of a trapped Bose gas using the local-density approximation and show that
close to criticality, the renormalization group approach is required for the
accurate determination of the density profile.

   One of the most intriguing phenomena in physics is the localization of waves
in disordered media. This phenomenon was originally predicted by Anderson,
fifty years ago, in the context of transport of electrons in crystals. Anderson
localization is actually a much more general phenomenon, and it has been
observed in a large variety of systems, including light waves. However, it has
never been observed directly for matter waves. Ultracold atoms open a new
scenario for the study of disorder-induced localization, due to high degree of
control of most of the system parameters, including interaction. Here we employ
for the first time a noninteracting Bose-Einstein condensate to study Anderson
localization. The experiment is performed with a onedimensional quasi-periodic
lattice, a system which features a crossover between extended and exponentially
localized states as in the case of purely random disorder in higher dimensions.
Localization is clearly demonstrated by investigating transport properties,
spatial and momentum distributions. We characterize the crossover, finding that
the critical disorder strength scales with the tunnelling energy of the atoms
in the lattice. Since the interaction in the condensate can be controlled at
will, this system might be employed to solve open questions on the interplay of
disorder and interaction and to explore exotic quantum phases.

   From the many-body T-matrix the condition for a medium-dependent bound state
and its binding energy is derived for a homogeneous interacting Bose gas. This
condition provides the critical line in the phase diagram in terms of the
medium-dependent scattering length. Separating the Bose pole from the
distribution function the influence of a Bose condensate is discussed and a
thermal minimum of the critical scattering length is found.

   We analyze quantitatively the generation of a continuous beam of atoms by the
periodic injection of individual packets in a guide, followed by their
overlapping. We show that slowing the packets using a moving mirror before
their overlapping enables an optimal gain on the phase space density of the
generated beam. This is interpreted as a Maxwell's demon type strategy as the
experimentalist exploits the information on the position and velocity of the
center of mass of each packet.

   We consider a single \down atom within a Fermi sea of \up atoms. We elucidate
by a full many-body analysis the quite mysterious agreement between Monte-Carlo
results and approximate calculations taking only into account single
particle-hole excitations. It results from a nearly perfect destructive
interference of the contributions of states with more than one particle-hole
pair. This is linked to the remarkable efficiency of the expansion in powers of
hole wavevectors, the lowest order leading to perfect interference. Going up to
two particle-hole pairs gives an essentially perfect agreement with known exact
results. Hence our treatment amounts to an exact solution of this problem.

Categories: quant-ph
Comments: Two column, three figures
License: http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/
\\
   We study systems of fully polarized ultracold atomic gases obeying Fermi
statistics. The atomic transition interacts dispersively with a mode of a
standing-wave cavity, which is coherently pumped by a laser. In this setup, the
intensity of the intracavity field is determined by the refractive index of the
atomic medium, and thus by the atomic density distribution. Vice-versa, the
density distribution of the atom is determined by the cavity field potential,
whose depth is proportional to the intracavity field amplitude. In this work we
show that this nonlinearity leads to a novel kind of instability in the
intracavity intensity, which differs substantially from dispersive optical
bistability, as this effect is already present in the regime, where the atomic
dipole is proportional to the cavity field. Such instability is driven by the
matter waves fluctuations and exhibits a peculiar dependence on the
fluctuations in the atomic density distribution.

   We carry out a detailed examination of the ground state property of few-boson
system in a one-dimensional hard wall potential with a $\delta -$ split in the
center. In the Tonks-Girardeau limit with infinite repulsion between particles,
we use the Bose-Fermi mapping to construct the exact $N-$ particle ground state
wavefunction which allows us to study the correlation properties accurately.
For the general case with finite inter-particle interaction, the exact
diagonalization method is exploited to study the ground-state density
distribution, occupation number distribution, and momentum distribution for
variable interaction strengths and barrier heights. The secondary peaks in the
momentum distribution reveal the interference between particles on the two
sides of the split, which is more prominent for large barrier strength and
small interaction strength.

   We generalize a recently developed method for accelerated Monte Carlo
calculation of path integrals to the physically relevant case of generic
many-body systems. This is done by developing an analytic procedure for
constructing a hierarchy of effective actions leading to improvements in
convergence of $N$-fold discretized many-body path integral expressions from
1/N to $1/N^p$ for generic $p$. In this paper we present explicit solutions
within this hierarchy up to level $p=5$. Using this we calculate the low lying
energy levels of a two particle model with quartic interactions for several
values of coupling and demonstrate agreement with analytical results governing
the increase in efficiency of the new method. The applicability of the
developed scheme is further extended to the calculation of energy expectation
values through the construction of associated energy estimators exhibiting the
same speedup in convergence.

   We theoretically analyze the response properties of ultracold bosons in
optical lattices to the static variation of the trapping potential. We show
that, upon an increase of such potential (trap squeezing), the density
variations in a central region, with linear size of >~ 10 wavelengths, reflect
that of the bulk system upon changing the chemical potential: hence measuring
the density variations gives direct access to the bulk compressibility. When
combined with standard time-of-flight measurements, this approach has the
potential of unambiguously detecting the appearence of the most fundamental
phases realized by bosons in optical lattices, with or without further external
potentials: superfluid, Mott insulator, band insulator and Bose glass.

   We develop a perturbation theory for bright solitons of the F=1 integrable
spinor Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) model. The formalism is based on using
the Riemann-Hilbert problem and provides the means to analytically calculate
evolution of the soliton parameters. Both rank-one and rank-two soliton
solutions of the model are obtained. We prove equivalence of the rank-one
soliton and the ferromagnetic rank-two soliton. Taking into account a splitting
of a perturbed polar rank-two soliton into two ferromagnetic solitons, it is
sufficient to elaborate a perturbation theory for the rank-one solitons only.
   Treating a small deviation from the integrability condition as a
perturbation, we describe the spinor BEC soliton dynamics in the adiabatic
approximation. It is shown that the soliton is quite robust against such a
perturbation and preserves its velocity, amplitude, and population of different
spin components, only the soliton frequency acquires a small shift. Results of
numerical simulations agree well with the analytical predictions, demonstrating
only slight soliton profile deformation.

   The response of bright and dark solitons to rapid variations in an expulsive
longitudinal trap is investigated. We concentrate on the effect of transient
changes in the trap frequency in the form of temporal delta kicks and the
hyperbolic cotangent functions. Exact expressions are obtained for the soliton
profiles. This is accomplished using the fact that a suitable linear
Schrodinger stationary state solution in time can be effectively combined with
the solutions of non-linear Schrodinger equation, for obtaining solutions of
the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time dependent scattering length in a
harmonic trap. Interestingly, there is rapid pulse amplification in certain
scenarios.

\\
   Entanglement entropy, which is a measure of quantum correlations between
separate parts of a many-body system, has emerged recently as a fundamental
quantity in broad areas of theoretical physics, from cosmology and field theory
to condensed matter theory and quantum information. The universal appeal of the
entanglement entropy concept is related, in part, to the fact that it is
defined solely in terms of the many-body density matrix of the system, with no
relation to any particular observables. However, for the same reason, it has
not been clear how to access this quantity experimentally. Here we derive a
universal relation between entanglement entropy and the fluctuations of current
flowing through a quantum point contact (QPC) which opens a way to perform a
direct measurement of entanglement entropy. In particular, by utilizing
space-time duality of 1d systems, we relate electric noise generated by opening
and closing the QPC periodically in time with the seminal S = 1/3 log L
prediction of conformal field theory.

   We make a detailed analysis of error mechanisms, gate fidelity, and
scalability of proposals for quantum computation with neutral atoms in
addressable (large lattice constant) optical lattices. We have identified
possible limits to the size of quantum computations, arising in 3D optical
lattices from current limitations on the ability to perform single qubit gates
in parallel and in 2D lattices from constraints on laser power. Our results
suggest that 3D arrays as large as 100 x 100 x 100 sites (i.e., $\sim 10^6$
qubits) may be achievable, provided two-qubit gates can be performed with
sufficiently high precision and degree of parallelizability. Parallelizability
of long range interaction-based two-qubit gates is qualitatively compared to
that of collisional gates. Different methods of performing single qubit gates
are compared, and a lower bound of $1 \times 10^{-5}$ is determined on the
error rate for the error mechanisms affecting $^{133}$Cs in a blue-detuned
lattice with Raman transition-based single qubit gates, given reasonable limits
on experimental parameters.
