Landau instability and mobility edges of the interacting one-dimensional Bose gas in weak random potentials

arXiv:1505.02242 · doi:10.1088/1361-6455/aa9803

Abstract

We study the frictional force exerted on the trapped, interacting 1D Bose gas under the influence of a moving random potential. Specifically we consider weak potentials generated by optical speckle patterns with finite correlation length. We show that repulsive interactions between bosons lead to a superfluid response and suppression of frictional force, which can inhibit the onset of Anderson localisation. We perform a quantitative analysis of the Landau instability based on the dynamic structure factor of the integrable Lieb-Liniger model and demonstrate the existence of effective mobility edges.
