Quantum fluctuations in one-dimensional supersolids

Abstract

In one-dimension, quantum fluctuations prevent the appearance of long-range order in a supersolid, and only quasi long-range order can survive. We derive this quantum critical behavior and study its influence on the superfluid response and properties of the solid. The analysis is based on an effective low-energy description accounting for the two coupled Goldstone modes. We find that the quantum phase transition from the superfluid to the supersolid is shifted by quantum fluctuations from its mean-field prediction. However, for current experimental parameters with dipolar atomic gases, this shift is not observable and the transition appears to be mean-field like.
