Supercooled superfluids in Monte Carlo simulations
arXiv:1601.00830 · doi:10.1140/epjb/e2016-60917-9
Abstract
We perform path integral Monte Carlo simulations to study the imaginary time dynamics of metastable supercooled superfluid states and nearly superglassy states of a one component fluid of spinless bosons square wells. Our study shows that the identity of the particles and the exchange symmetry is crucial for the frustration necessary to obtain metastable states in the quantum regime. Whereas the simulation time has to be chosen to determine whether we are in a metastable state or not, the imaginary time dynamics tells us if we are or not close to an arrested glassy state.
