A Hubbard model for ultracold bosonic atoms interacting via zero-point-energy induced three-body interactions
Saurabh Paul, P. R. Johnson, Eite Tiesinga
We show that for ultra-cold neutral bosonic atoms held in a three-dimensional periodic potential or optical lattice, a Hubbard model with dominant, attractive three-body interactio…

Large effective three-body interaction in a double-well optical lattice
Saurabh Paul, Eite Tiesinga
We study ultracold atoms in an optical lattice with two local minima per unit cell and show that the low energy states of a multi-band Bose-Hubbard (BH) Hamiltonian with only pair-…
