Superfluid-Mott-insulator transition in the spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Hubbard model

  • 1. Koc Univ, Dept Phys, TR-34450 Istanbul, Turkey

Açıklama

We consider a square optical lattice in two dimensions and study the effects of both the strength and symmetry of spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman field on the ground-state, i.e., Mott-insulator (MI) and superfluid (SF), phases and phase diagram, i.e., MI-SF phase-transition boundary, of the two-component Bose-Hubbard model. In particular, based on a variational Gutzwiller ansatz, our numerical calculations show that the spin-orbit-coupled SF phase is a nonuniform (twisted) one, with its phase (but not the magnitude) of the order parameter modulating from site to site. Fully analytical insights into the numerical results are also given.
