Dynamical Mean Field Theory of the Bose-Hubbard Model

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Quantum dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard Model is investigated through a semiclassical hamiltonian picture provided by the Time-Dependent Variational Principle method. The system is studied within a factorized slow/fast dynamics. The semiclassical requantization procedure allows one to account for the strong quantum nature of the system when t/U1t/U\ll 1. The phase diagram is in good agreement with Quantum Monte Carlo results and third order strong coupling perturbative expansion.
