Abstract
The extended Bose-Hubbard model captures the essential properties of a wide variety of physical systems including ultracold atoms and molecules in optical lattices, Josephson junction arrays, and certain narrow band superconductors. It exhibits a rich phase diagram including a supersolid phase where a lattice solid coexists with a superfluid. We use quantum Monte Carlo to study the supersolid part of the phase diagram of the extended Bose-Hubbard model on the simple cubic lattice. We add disorder to the extended Bose-Hubbard model and find that the maximum critical temperature for the supersolid phase tends to be suppressed by disorder. But we also find a narrow parameter window in which the supersolid critical temperature is enhanced by disorder. Our results show that supersolids survive a moderate amount of spatial disorder and thermal fluctuations in the simple cubic lattice.
Highlights
The extended Bose-Hubbard model captures the essential properties of a wide variety of physical systems including ultracold atoms and molecules in optical lattices, Josephson junction arrays, and certain narrow band superconductors
Subsequent work showed that these lattice models capture the essential properties of many other physical systems, including ultracold atoms and molecules in optical lattices[8,9,10,11,12,13], Josephson junction arrays[14,15], and narrow-band superconductors[16]
We study a tight-binding model of repulsive soft-core bosons hopping in a simple cubic lattice of side lengths L with on-site disorder: H
Summary
The extended Bose-Hubbard model captures the essential properties of a wide variety of physical systems including ultracold atoms and molecules in optical lattices, Josephson junction arrays, and certain narrow band superconductors. We use systematic finite-size scaling to show that increasing disorder increases the critical temperature of the supersolid. Our results indicate that supersolids in the extended Bose-Hubbard model are stable (and even enhanced) in the simple cubic lattice for a moderate amount of disorder.
