Coexistence of two kinds of superfluidity in Bose-Hubbard model with density-induced tunneling at finite temperatures

Abstract

With use of the U(1) quantum rotor method in the path integral effective action formulation, we have confirmed the mathematical similarity of the phase Hamiltonian and of the extended Bose-Hubbard model with density-induced tunneling (DIT). Moreover, we have shown that the latter model can be mapped to a pseudospin Hamiltonian that exhibits two coexisting (single-particle and pair) superfluid phases. Phase separation of the two has also been confirmed, determining that there exists a range of coefficients in which only pair condensation, and not single-particle superfluidity, is present. The DIT part supports the coherence in the system at high densities and low temperatures, but also has dissipative effects independent of the system's thermal properties.
