Abstract

We study attractively interacting fermions on a square lattice with dispersion relations exhibiting strong spin-dependent anisotropy. The resulting Fermi surface mismatch suppresses the s-wave BCS-type instability, clearing the way for unconventional types of order. Unbiased sampling of the Feynman diagrammatic series using Diagrammatic Monte Carlo methods reveals a rich phase diagram in the regime of intermediate coupling strength. Instead of a proposed Cooper-pair Bose metal phase [A. E. Feiguin and M. P. A. Fisher, Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 025303 (2009)] we find an incommensurate density wave at strong anisotropy and two different p-wave superfluid states with unconventional symmetry at intermediate anisotropy.

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.
