Twisted complex superfluids in optical lattices

Abstract: We show that correlated pair tunneling drives a phase transition to a twisted superfluid with a complex order parameter. This unconventional superfluid phase spontaneously breaks the time-reversal symmetry and is characterized by a twisting of the complex phase angle between adjacent lattice sites. We discuss the entire phase diagram of the extended Bose—Hubbard model for a honeycomb optical lattice showing a multitude of quantum phases including twisted superfluids, pair superfluids, supersolids and twisted s… Show more

“…By including all terms, the resulting phase diagrams can differ significantly even for modest parameter strengths. We will confirm the destruction of the Mott-insulating phase and the introduction of known supersolid, density wave and pair superfluid phases [37]. By performing a detailed study of the ground state phase diagrams for various parameter regions, we find new staggered superfluid and supersolid phases, including sign staggered behaviour of the ordinary and pair superfluid and supersolid.…”

“…Our calculations are performed by using the CMF theory [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. It has several different names in the literature: cluster Gutzwiller approach [43,47], hierarchical mean-field approach [35,36,45], and composite boson meanfield approach [44]. This method has been shown to be an extremely efficient way of exploring vast uncharted territory in the phase diagram.…”

“…In this paper, we focus on the detailed ground-state phase diagrams of the model in equation (1) for both signs of t¢ and elucidate the nature of the phase transitions therein. The cluster mean-field (CMF) theory is employed here, which has been applied to various spin [34][35][36][37][38] and boson [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] systems with success. We note that the main difference between two SS states, the HSS and the CSS states, comes from the distinct momentum states at which bosons condenses.…”
