The Multi-component Correlated Basis Function Method and its Application to Multilayered Dipolar Bose Gases

Abstract

We present a method for calculating the dynamics of a bosonic mixture, the multi-component correlated basis function (CBF) method. For single components, CBF results for the excitation energies agree quite well with experimental results, even for highly correlated systems like ${}^4$He, and recent systematic improvements of CBF achieve perfect agreement. We give a full derivation of multi-component CBF, and apply the method to a dipolar Bose gas cut into two-dimensional layers by a deep optical lattice, with coupling between layers due to the long-ranged dipole-dipole interaction. We consider the case of strong coupling, leading to large positive interlayer correlations. We calculate the spectrum for a system of 8 layers and show that the strong coupling can lead to a simpler spectrum than in the uncoupled case, with a single peak carrying most of the spectral weight.
