In a solid material strong interactions between the electrons can lead to surprising properties. A prime example is the Mott insulator, where the suppression of conductivity is a result of interactions and not the consequence of a filled…

Boson-Fermion mixture confined on an optical lattice is numerically studied. Mott-plateau like behavior is observed under certain conditions in the density profile of the bosons and fermions as one sees in bosonic atoms in a trap potential.…
We consider a strongly interacting one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Fermi mixture confined in a harmonic trap. It consists of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas (1D Bose gas with repulsive hard-core interactions) and of a non-interacting Fermi gas (1D…
We study the superfluid-Mott insulator (SF-MI) transition in an one-dimensional optical lattice system, and employ the Bose-Hubbard model in two dimension with a combined potential of an optical lattice in one direction and a confining…
After release from the trap the momentum distribution of an impenetrable gas asymptotically approaches that of a spinless noninteracting Fermi gas in the initial trap. This phenomenon is called dynamical fermionization and, very recently,…

One dimensional free-fermions and hard-core bosons are often considered to be equivalent. Indeed, when restricted to nearest-neighbor hopping on a chain the particles cannot exchange themselves, and therefore hardly experience their own…
