Abstract

We investigate the formation, stability, and dynamics of 3D ring-shaped and multipole vortical quantum droplets (QDs) in non-rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates held in a toroidal trapping potential. The QD dynamics are investigated in the framework of the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which includes long-range dipole-dipole interactions (DDI) and the beyond-mean-field Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) term, revealing the emergence of self-bound states. Stable stationary solutions for multipole QDs with different values of the topological charge (vorticity $S$) are shaped as necklace-like modes, with the number of \textquotedblleft beads" (multipole's order) $n=2S$, up to $S=6$. The stability area of the multipoles shrinks with the increase of $S$. For higher values of $S$ the centrifugal effect associated with the phase winding destabilizes the annular density and drives the formation of fragmented multipole droplet states. The dependence of the chemical potential, total energy and peak density on the norm (number of particles) and $S$ is produced. These findings uncover the stabilizing effect of the LHY correction and DDI anisotropy in maintaining complex QD states in the non-rotating configurations.

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.

Orbital Wigner functions and quantum transport in multiband systems

Traditional theories of electron transport in crystals are based on the Boltzmann equation and do not capture physics arising from quantum coherence. We introduce a transport formalism based on orbital Wigner functions, which accurately captures quantum coherent physics in multiband fermionic systems. We illustrate the power of this approach compared with traditional semiclassical transport theory by testing it numerically against microscopic simulations of one-dimensional, noninteracting, two-band systems---the simplest systems capable of exhibiting interorbital coherence. We show that orbital Wigner functions accurately capture strongly nonequilibrium features of electron dynamics that lie beyond conventional Boltzmann theory, such as the ballistic transport of a relative phase between microscopic orbitals and topological Thouless pumping of charge, both at nonzero temperature and away from the adiabatic limit. Our approach is motivated in part by modern ultracold atom experiments that can prepare and measure far-from-equilibrium charge transport and phase coherence in multiband fermionic systems, calling for correspondingly precise theories of transport. The quantitative accuracy exhibited by our approach, together with its capacity to capture nontrivial physics even at the ballistic scale, establishes orbital Wigner functions as an ideal starting point for developing a fully systematic theory of transport in crystals.

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.
