Dimers, trimers, tetramers, and other multimers in a multiband Bose-Hubbard model
arXiv:2208.01429 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.106.043315
Abstract
We study the bound states of identical bosons that are described by a multiband Bose-Hubbard model with generic hoppings and an attractive onsite interaction. Using a variational approach, we first derive exact integral equations for the dimers, trimers, tetramers, and other multimers, and then apply them to a one-dimensional sawtooth model that features two bands. In particular we reveal the presence of not only the offsite dimer states which consist of two monomers on different sites even in the strong-coupling limit but also the offsite trimer states which consist of either a dimer on one site and a monomer on another site or three monomers on three different sites. Our variational calculations for the ground states of onsite dimers, onsite trimers and offsite trimers benchmark perfectly well with the DMRG simulations. We also present DMRG results for the ground states of onsite tetramers, offsite tetramers, onsite pentamers, offsite pentamers, and for those of other multimers.
