We calculate a correlation function of the Jordan-Wigner operator in a class of free-fermion models formulated on an infinite one-dimensional lattice. We represent this function in terms of the determinant of an integrable Fredholm operator, convenient for analytic and numerical investigations. By using Wick's theorem, we avoid the form-factor summation customarily used in the literature for treating similar problems.

Symmetry-Protected Transport through a Lattice with a Local Particle Loss

A. -M Visuri, T. Giamarchi, C. Kollath

Summary: This paper studies particle transport through a chain of coupled sites connected to free-fermion reservoirs at both ends, with a local particle loss. The conductance and particle density in the steady state are calculated using the Keldysh formalism for open quantum systems. In addition to a reduction in conductance, it is found that transport can remain (almost) unaffected by the loss for certain values of the chemical potential in the lattice. It is shown that this protected transport is a result of the spatial symmetry of single-particle eigenstates. At a finite voltage, the density profile develops a drop at the lossy site, connected to the onset of nonballistic transport.

Dynamical conductivity of disordered quantum chains

Shintaro Takayoshi, Thierry Giamarchi

Summary: We study the transport properties of a one-dimensional quantum system with disorder and compute the frequency dependence of its conductivity using numerical methods. The results show that the conductivity decays as a power law at high frequencies and follows a linear behavior at low frequencies, with both behaviors being affected by the interaction strength. The localization length also exhibits a power law dependence on the disorder strength, in agreement with theoretical predictions. These findings have implications for experiments with cold atomic gases.

Superfluid Signatures in a Dissipative Quantum Point Contact

Meng-Zi Huang, Jeffrey Mohan, Anne -Maria Visuri, Philipp Fabritius, Mohsen Talebi, Simon Wili, Shun Uchino, Thierry Giamarchi, Tilman Esslinger

Summary: We measure the superfluid transport of strongly interacting fermionic lithium atoms through a quantum point contact by utilizing local, spin-dependent particle loss. We find that the characteristic non-Ohmic superfluid transport, enabled by high-order multiple Andreev reflections, transitions into an excess Ohmic current when the dissipation strength exceeds the superfluid gap. Our developed model, which includes mean-field reservoirs connected to a dissipative site via tunneling, reproduces the observed nonequilibrium particle current in the Keldysh formalism, but it does not fully explain the observed loss rate or spin current.

Observation of 1/k4-Tails after Expansion of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Impurities

Hugo Cayla, Pietro Massignan, Thierry Giamarchi, Alain Aspect, Christoph I. Westbrook, David Clement

Summary: We measured the momentum density in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with dilute spin impurities and observed algebraic tails decaying as 1/k4 at large momentum k, which originated from impurity-BEC interactions. The amplitudes of these tails exceeded those expected from two-body contact interactions at equilibrium in the trap. These unexpected algebraic tails were found to originate from the nontrivial dynamics of the expansion in the presence of impurity-bath interactions.

Solving 2D and 3D Lattice Models of Correlated Fermions-Combining Matrix Product States with Mean-Field Theory

Gunnar Bollmark, Thomas Kohler, Lorenzo Pizzino, Yiqi Yang, Johannes S. Hofmann, Hao Shi, Shiwei Zhang, Thierry Giamarchi, Adrian Kantian

Summary: Correlated electron states are crucial for understanding unconventional superconductivity. However, calculating their properties accurately remains a challenge. In this work, we propose a framework combining matrix product states (MPS) with mean field (MF) to compute the properties of quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) systems. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this framework by calculating the critical temperature for superconductivity in Q1D fermions. This approach allows for the quantitative study of correlated phases and the treatment of competing macroscopic orders.

Observation of universal Hall response in strongly interacting Fermions

Summary: The Hall effect, which describes the motion of charged particles in magnetic fields, has important implications for material properties. Understanding this effect in interacting systems is challenging, even for small magnetic fields. In this study, we used an atomic quantum simulator to investigate the behavior of ultracold fermions in the presence of artificial magnetic fields. Through experimental measurements, we observed a universal behavior of the Hall response, which is independent of the strength of atomic interactions. This research demonstrates the capability of quantum simulation to describe strongly correlated topological states of matter.

Bosonization of the interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model

Tony Jin, Paola Ruggiero, Thierry Giamarchi

Summary: We derive the bosonization of the interacting fermionic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with open boundaries and use it to quantitatively describe the edge modes of the system. Our results show excellent agreement with numerical simulations, particularly in terms of the localization of the zero-energy edge mode near the boundaries. Interestingly, we find that the effects of repulsive or attractive interactions on the edge mode localization depend on the staggering parameter. We provide quantitative predictions of these effects on the localization length of the edge mode and suggest that bosonization can be generalized to other models.

Bath-induced phase transition in a Luttinger liquid

Saptarshi Majumdar, Laura Foini, Thierry Giamarchi, Alberto Rosso

Summary: We study an XXZ spin chain coupled to an ohmic bath of harmonic oscillators at zero temperature. Two phases, separated by a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, are found: a Luttinger liquid phase with finite spin stiffness at low coupling and a dissipative phase with vanishing spin stiffness at high coupling. The transport properties are also affected, with the Luttinger liquid phase being a perfect conductor and the dissipative phase showing finite resistivity. The effect of the bath can be interpreted as annealed disorder-inducing signatures of localization.

Nonlinear transport in the presence of a local dissipation

A. -M. Visuri, T. Giamarchi, C. Kollath

Summary: This paper investigates particle transport, particle loss, and nonequilibrium steady states in a dissipative one-dimensional lattice connected to reservoirs at both ends. By applying local particle loss to the center site, particle transport is generated between free-fermion reservoirs with different chemical potentials. The conserved current and loss current as functions of voltage in the nonlinear regime are computed using a Keldysh description. The behaviors of the currents are affected differently by the local loss, resulting in either smoothed, nearly unaffected, or even enhanced steps depending on the spatial symmetry of the single-particle eigenstate.

Semiclassical theory of quantum stochastic resistors

Tony Jin, Joao Ferreira, Michel Bauer, Michele Filippone, Thierry Giamarchi

Summary: We have developed a semiclassical model to study the transport properties of low-dimensional fermionic lattices under the influence of external quantum stochastic noise. These systems exhibit behavior similar to quantum stochastic resistors, where bulk particle transport is diffusive and follows Ohm's/Fick's law. By extending previous studies beyond one-dimensional systems to ladder geometries, we have explored different dephasing mechanisms relevant to various physical systems. Our results show that the semiclassical description provides a useful and simpler interpretation of the conductance dependence on chemical potential, which agrees well with exact numerical solutions. Additionally, we have found that the coherence of the dephasing process in the transverse direction does not affect the conductance of quantum ladders, despite different stationary states being reached.

Bose-Hubbard triangular ladder in an artificial gauge field

Catalin-Mihai Halati, Thierry Giamarchi

Summary: We investigate the properties of interacting bosonic particles on a two-leg triangular ladder with an artificial gauge field. By using numerical simulations and analytical bosonization calculations, we explore the complex phase diagram of this system. The interplay between the frustration from the triangular lattice geometry and the interactions leads to the emergence of multiple chiral quantum phases. Phase transitions from superfluid to Mott-insulating states occur, exhibiting Meissner or vortex characteristics. Moreover, we discover a biased chiral superfluid state that breaks the symmetry between the two legs of the ladder, particularly for flux values close to pi. In the regime of hard-core bosons, we demonstrate the extension of the bond order insulator, beyond the fully frustrated ladder case, with Meissner-type chiral currents. We discuss the implications of our findings for experimental studies in cold atomic systems.

Many-body parametric resonances in the driven sine-Gordon model

Summary: We study a quantum many-body variant of the parametric oscillator using a semiclassical truncated Wigner approximation (TWA) to investigate the driven sine-Gordon model with a modulated tunnel coupling. By comparing different methods, we find that TWA can be used to explore the mode-resolved energy density dynamics and higher-order correlations between modes in the prethermal heating regime.

Microscopic interplay of temperature and disorder of a one-dimensional elastic interface

Nirvana Caballero, Thierry Giamarchi, Vivien Lecomte, Elisabeth Agoritsas

Summary: In this study, we numerically compute the roughness of a one-dimensional elastic interface and find a power-law behavior at short lengthscales. Contrary to available analytic predictions, we find that the associated exponent is less than 1. We discuss the implications of these findings for the temperature dependence of roughness and the connection with the asymptotic random-manifold regime at large lengthscales.

Exact description of quantum stochastic models as quantum resistors

Tony Jin, Joao S. Ferreira, Michele Filippone, Thierry Giamarchi

Summary: We study the transport properties of generic out-of-equilibrium quantum systems connected to fermionic reservoirs. We develop a perturbation scheme in the inverse system size, named 1/N expansion, to study a large class of out of equilibrium diffusive/ohmic systems. The exact solution for quantum stochastic Hamiltonians (QSHs) models confirms the validity of our system size expansion ansatz, and its efficiency in capturing the transport properties. We consider three fermionic models: a model with local dephasing, the quantum simple symmetric exclusion process model, and a model with long-range stochastic hopping.
