Spectral properties of attractive bosons in a ring lattice including a single-site potential

Abstract

The ground-state properties of attractive bosons trapped in a ring lattice including a single attractive potential well with an adjustable depth are investigated. The energy spectrum is reconstructed both in the strong-interaction limit and in the superfluid regime within the Bogoliubov picture. The analytical results thus obtained are compared with those found numerically from the exact Hamiltonian, in order to identify the regions in the parameter space where this picture is effective. The single potential introduced is the simplest way to break the translational symmetry and to observe, through a completely analytical approach, how the absence of symmetry affects the properties of the low-excited eigenstates of the system. This model gives a first insight into the properties of systems including more complex potentials.
