Absence of a Direct Superfluid to Mott Insulator Transition in Disordered Bose Systems

Abstract

We prove the absence of a direct quantum phase transition between a superfluid and a Mott insulator in a bosonic system with generic, bounded disorder. We also prove compressibility of the system on the superfluid--insulator critical line and in its neighborhood. These conclusions follow from a general {\it theorem of inclusions} which states that for any transition in a disordered system one can always find rare regions of the competing phase on either side of the transition line. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for the disordered Bose-Hubbard model show an even stronger result, important for the nature of the Mott insulator to Bose glass phase transition: The critical disorder bound, ${\Delta }_c$, corresponding to the onset of disorder-induced superfluidity, satisfies the relation ${\Delta }_c>E_{g/2}$, with $E_{g/2}$ the half-width of the Mott gap in the pure system.
