Three body on-site interactions in ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices and superlattices
arXiv:1203.1412 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.85.051604
Abstract
The Mott insulator-superfluid transition for ultracold bosonic atoms in an optical lattice has been extensively studied in the framework of the Bose-Hubbard model with two-body on-site interactions. In this paper, we analyze the additional effect of the three-body on-site interactions on this phase transition in optical lattice and the transitions between the various phases that arise in an optical superlattice. Using the mean-field theory and the density matrix renormalization group method, we find the phase diagrams depicting the relationships between various physical quantities in an optical lattice and superlattice. We also suggest possible experimental signatures to observe the three-body interactions.
