Bose-glass phase of a one-dimensional disordered Bose fluid: metastable states, quantum tunneling and droplets

Abstract

We study a one-dimensional disordered Bose fluid using bosonization, the replica method and a nonperturbative functional renormalization-group approach. We find that the Bose-glass phase is described by a fully attractive strong-disorder fixed point characterized by a singular disorder correlator whose functional dependence assumes a cuspy form that is related to the existence of metastable states. At nonzero momentum scale $k$, quantum tunneling between the ground state and low-lying metastable states leads to a rounding of the cusp singularity into a quantum boundary layer (QBL). The width of the QBL depends on an effective Luttinger parameter $K_k\sim k^{\theta }$ that vanishes with an exponent $\theta =z-1$ related to the dynamical critical exponent $z$. The QBL encodes the existence of rare "superfluid" regions, controls the low-energy dynamics and yields a (dissipative) conductivity vanishing as ${\omega }^2$ in the low-frequency limit. These results reveal the glassy properties (pinning, "shocks" or static avalanches) of the Bose-glass phase and can be understood within the "droplet" picture put forward for the description of glassy (classical) systems.
