Quench dynamics of two component dipolar fermions subject to a quasiperiodic potential
Abstract
Motivated by recent experiments in fermionic polar gases, we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of two-component dipolar fermions subject to a quasiperiodic potential. We investigate the localization of charge and spin degrees of freedom time evolving with a long-range spin-SU(2) symmetric fermionic Hamiltonian, by calculating experimentally accessible dynamical observables. To study the non-equilibrium dynamics, we start the time evolution with two initial states at half-filling: (i) product state with doublons and (ii) product state with singlons . We carried out the real-time evolution via the fermionic Hamiltonian using exact diagonalization(ED) and the time-dependent variational principle (TDVP) for finite Matrix product states(MPSs), within experimentally relevant time scales. For the product state with doublons, we observe a delocalized to localized phase transition varying disorder strengths, by monitoring the decay of charge imbalance with time. For the long-range interacting Hamiltonian of our focus, and in the presence of strong enough disorder, starting the time evolution with singlons we find a strong reduction in the spin delocalization, contrary to results of previous studies using the disordered short-range (on-site) Hubbard model with SU(2) symmetry. Our predictions for localization of both charge and spin should be observable in ultra-cold experiments with fermionic dipolar atoms subject to a quasiperiodic potential.
