Abstract
We study quantum phase transitions in a hard-core boson model with nearest-neighbor repulsions in one dimension. As we change the repulsive energy, V, between bosons occupying nearest neighbors, the model exhibits a quantum phase transition from a superfluid (SF) to a charge-density-wave (CDW)-type solid phase at half-filling. By using an exact diagonalization method with a modified Lanczos method, we calculate the ground-state energies up to a precision of O(10−7). From the ground-state energies, we obtain the number of dimers by taking numerical derivatives of the groundstate energies. Because the dissolution of the dimers occurs because of the repulsive energy, V, we find a signature of the quantum phase transition from the behaviors of the correlation energy and those of the number of dimers as a function of V.
