Critical Exponents of the Superfluid-Bose Glass Transition in Three-Dimensions

arXiv:1402.5417 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.225301

Abstract

Recent experimental and numerical studies of the critical-temperature exponent for the superfluid-Bose glass universality in three-dimensional systems report strong violations of the key quantum critical relation, , where and are the dynamic and correlation length exponents, respectively, and question the fundamental concepts underlying quantum critical phenomena. Using Monte Carlo simulations of the disordered Bose-Hubbard model, we demonstrate that previous work on the superfluid-to-normal fluid transition-temperature dependence on chemical potential (or magnetic field, in spin systems), , was misinterpreting transient behavior on approach to the fluctuation region with the genuine critical law. When the model parameters are modified to have a broad quantum critical region, simulations of both quantum and classical models reveal that the law [with , , and ] holds true, resolving the -exponent "crisis".
