Superfluid drag in the two-component Bose-Hubbard model

Abstract

In multicomponent superfluids and superconductors, co- and counter-flows of components have in general different properties. It was discussed in 1975 by Andreev and Bashkin, in the context of He${}^3$/He${}^4$ superfluid mixtures, that inter-particle interactions produce a dissipationless drag. The drag can be understood as a superflow of one component induced by phase gradients of the other component. Importantly the drag can be both positive (entrainment) and negative (counter-flow). The effect is known to be of crucial importance for many properties of diverse physical systems ranging from the dynamics of neutron stars, rotational responses of Bose mixtures of ultra-cold atoms to magnetic responses of multicomponent superconductors. Although there exists a substantial literature that includes the drag interaction phenomenologically, much fewer regimes are covered by quantitative studies of the microscopic origin of the drag and its dependence on microscopic parameters. Here we study the microscopic origin and strength of the drag interaction in a quantum system of two-component bosons on a lattice with short-range interaction. By performing quantum Monte-Carlo simulations of a two-component Bose-Hubbard model we obtain dependencies of the drag strength on the boson-boson interactions and properties of the optical lattice. Of particular interest are the strongly-correlated regimes where the ratio of co-flow and counter-flow superfluid stiffnesses can diverge, corresponding to the case of saturated drag.
