Abstract

We calculate analytically the Bogoliubov excitation spectrum of a toroidal spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate that is subjected to a homogeneous magnetic field and contains vortices with arbitrary winding numbers in the $m_F=\pm 1$ components of the hyperfine spin. We show that a rotonlike spectrum can be obtained, or an initially stable condensate can be made unstable by adjusting the magnitude of the magnetic field or the trapping frequencies. The structure of the instabilities can be analyzed by measuring the particle densities of the spin components. We confirm the validity of the analytical calculations by numerical simulations.

Efficient MPO Construction for Long-Range Hamiltonians with Periodic Boundary Conditions: Application to Many-Body Dynamics

Matrix product operator (MPO) serves as a fundamental component in tensor network simulations of quantum many-body dynamics. We employ an MPO construction that introduces additional propagation channels to embed both periodic boundary conditions and finite-range couplings directly into an open boundary MPO. We apply this construction within the time-dependent variational principle (TDVP) framework to simulate quench dynamics in a spin-1/2 chain with finite-range interactions, and benchmark the results numerically against the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, finding excellent agreement for both single-body and two-body observables. The approach offers a practical route for tensor network simulations of many-body dynamics in periodic finite-range systems.

Odd/Even or Half ? Entanglement Anomaly in the Bose-Hubbard model

The area law relates the bipartite entanglement entropy of a quantum many-body ground state to the size of the boundary between the subsystems, but the geometry of this boundary is rarely discussed. We inspect this in the 1D Bose-Hubbard model at fixed density by comparing four spatial bipartitions of the periodic lattice: first half, second half, even sites, and odd sites; sharing the same number of sites but differing in how the boundary is arranged. We find analytical limits with perturbation theory: in the Mott insulator the contiguous cut obeys the area lay while the alternating cut obeys a volume law $S\propto N_s$, in this sense an anomaly, and for the superfluid both cuts colapse to the binomial saturation due to delocalization of the state. We formulate these limits as a statement about the many-body problem using a generalized slave-boson approach based on mean-field with quantum fluctuations while verifying with Exact Diagonalization (ED) for small lattice sizes and Densitiy Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) simulations for $N_s\gg 1$. The slave-boson Gaussian ground state allows to compute the entanglement entropy from a reduced correlation matrix for any desired bipartition consistent with ED and DMRG results. Using slave bosons the computational cost is set by the local cutoff $n_{\max}$ rather than the Hilbert space dimension, so we can reach lattice sizes far beyond ED. Our method is capable of establishing the partition-dependent scaling laws as a many-body feature, not only a finite-size effect, in great agreement with the ED for $N_s\in[4,10]$ and DMRG for larger lattice sizes.

Fragmentation of Quantum Fluid in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

In this article, we study the dipolar Bosonic quantum fluid. The fluid experiences mean-field, beyond mean-field, and three body interactions. We investigate their competition with dipolar interaction and fragmentation as a result of this competition. We further investigate the elementary excitations and note two distinct dispersion regimes, namely roton-mode and modulational instability. We support our observation by calculating the superfluid fraction and the condensate fraction.
