Quantum phases of hard-core dipolar bosons in coupled 1D optical lattices

Abstract

Hard-core dipolar bosons trapped in a parallel stack of N>=2 1D optical lattices (tubes) can develop several phases made of composites of particles from different tubes: superfluids, supercounterfluids and insulators as well as mixtures of those. Bosonization analysis shows that these phases are threshold-less with respect to the dipolar interaction, with the key "control knob" being filling factors in each tube, provided the inter-tube tunneling is suppressed. The effective ab-initio quantum Monte Carlo algorithm capturing these phases is introduced and some results are presented.
