Quantum Monte Carlo study of the indirect Pauli exclusion effect in Bose-Fermi mixtures

Quantum Gases 2015-05-13 v2

Abstract

We study the momentum distributions of a three-dimensional resonant Bose-Fermi mixture in the molecular limit at zero temperature. For concentration of the bosons with respect to the fermions less or equal to one, each boson is bound to a fermion and the system is composed of fermionic molecules plus excess fermions. Not only the bosonic condensate fraction goes to zero, signaling a quantum phase transition towards a normal phase, but a finite region of low momenta is depleted, depending on the concentration. This phenomenon is named indirect Pauli exclusion effect and is demonstrated via Fixed-Node Diffusion Monte Carlo simulations and T-matrix calculations.
