Strongly Tilted BH Model Resonant manifold: Ising-like quantum phase transition U E Paramagnet Anti-Ferromagnet Sachdev, Sengupta, Girvin PRB (2002)
Experimental Realization • Initial realization • Greiner, Mandel, Esslinger, Haensch, Bloch, Nature (2002) • detect gap U • Single site resolution • Simon, Bakr, Ma, Tai, Preiss, Greiner, Nature (2011) • tilted 1D chains • transition from PM to AFM

Plan • Integrable vs. non-Integrable • Numerical Methods: ED & t-MPS • Theory of finite size crossover scaling • Numerical Results • Experimental observables
Integrable vs. non-integrable • QP interactions lead to relaxation in non-integrable models • What happens to power laws --- anomalous scaling exponents ? single q-p energies
Time evolution PM to QCP ramp: • Protocol • start deep in PM • evolve to the QCP • Exact Diag. • initial ground state • evolve with gap AFM PM t
t-MPS aka t-DMRG • Trial wave function approach • Pictorial representation • Systematic way to increase accuracy • increase bond dimension c Tr …
time evolution in t-MPS • step 1: apply the time evolution operator • step 2: project out forbidden configurations • step 3: reduce bond dimension • converge time step & bond dimension
Finite size effects Universal Scaling regimes • Fast Ramp • Non-universal: excite all q-p modes • Slow Ramp • KZ-like scaling: excite only long wavelength modes • Very Slow Ramp • LZ scaling: excite only longest wavelength mode (set by system size) single q-p energies const. v1/2 tuning prameter log nex v2 log v
Landau Zener • Where did power law come from? stop on QCP stop after QCP
Finite-size scaling function Universal Scaling regimes • Length scale • Dimensionless parameter • Modification to the scaling functions: • 1D Ising const. v1/2 log nex v2 log v correlation length exponent dynamic exponent
Most universal protocol: PM to QCP Observables: Residual energy Log-Fidelity Recover power-laws predicted for integrable models
Ramps PM to AFM v1/2 Residual energy Log-Fidelity • Why change in Residual energy power-law? v1/2 adiabatic non-adiabatic universal adiabatic non-universal excitations-> sites n=1 QCP
Protocol • For ramps that stop just beyond QCP, there can be a crossover of power laws • Stopping on QCP minimizes oscillations that obscure scaling • Most universal ramps: stop on QCP
Experimental observables: PM to QCP Missing even parity sites Spin-Spin correlations • Other observables: • Order parameter • Full distribution function
Conclusions: tilted bosons • Universal dynamics • First demonstration in non-integrable system • Finite sized systems • Universal crossover function from LZ to KZ scaling • Protocol is important • Scaling in smaller systems & shorter timescales • Experimentally feasible length and timescales • Easier to observe criticality than in equilibrium systems, no need to equilibrate! • Application: quantum emulators Thank: A.

Parametric ramp of 2D bosons (no tilt) trap tuning of optical lattice intensity Parametrically ramp from SF to MI at rate v Main Questions: timescales for “defect” production “Defect”: p-h symmetric point site with even # Bakr et. al. Science 2010
Spin-1 Model Truncated Hilbertspace Effective spin Hamiltonian Advantage: properties similar to BH model, but easier to analyze Defect density Bose-Hubbard Spin-1 • Same phase transitions • No p-h asymmetry • smaller Hilbert space • spin wave analysis Huber, Altman 2007
Methods we tried • Exact Diagonalization • small system sizes • no phase transitions • Mean Field • no low energy excitations • Cluster Mean Field • like ED, except self-consistent neighbohrs • some “low” energy excitations • Mean Field + Gaussian fluctuations • long wavelength modes: can capture scaling • modes non-interacting • Truncated Wigner • Similar to MFT+G, can capture instabilities
Mean field + fluctuations ba MF: b0 bf We need two vectors perpendicular to : & mean field quadratic fluctuations Dynamics: step 1 step 2 dynamics of quadratic modes Huber, Altman 2007
Plan • Test methods in equilibrium • phase boundary (test against QMC) • defect density • Run Dynamics • fast (compared to 1/J) • slow (compared to 1/J)
Validation: phase boundary using CMF Bose Hubbard Model Spin-1 Model • MF, CMF, MF+G: phase boundary • MF tends to favor ordered phase – too much SF • larger clusters more MI • qualitative agreement with QMC
Defect Density • Methods converge for large system/cluster size • Biggest discrepancies near phase transition • Both ED and CMF qualitatively OK for “fast” dynamics
Rapid ramping Eigenvalues: 3x3 Bose Hubbard • Describe short wavelength states • Exact digitalization of 3x3 system with PBC • Quasi-particles • Deep in SF: phase and amplitude • Deep in Mott: doubles and holes • Persistent gap ~ U • Fast ramp time scale ~1/U • Shift relative to experiment • Missing long wavelength modes • Inhomogeneity due to trap & disorder Defect production in ramp 1/U 1/J
Comparison for rapid ramps (CMF) Planck constant theory vs. experiment Short times: similar dynamics Higgs like oscillations – see Sat. talk Longer times: divergence
Slow ramping: MF+G (ms)-1 Each k: 2 parametrically driven SHO amplitude & phase Crossover into scaling regime tramp ~ 10/J Defect density saturates for shallow ramps (ms)-1
Protocol: Start from QCP Ramp deep into Mott Insulator (ms)-1 (ms)-1 (ms)-1 (ms)-1
Ramping time scales Fast dynamics Scaling with MFT exponents Scaling with RGexponents • Fast ramps: excite all modes (few site physics) • Slow ramps: excite long wavelength modes • Very slow ramps: excite very long wavelength modes – finite size effects Still missing: effects of the trap
CMF for inhomogeneous systems Time evolve each 2x2 plaquette [consistently] in the mean-field of its neighbors and m(r) from trap (Total: 30x30 plaquettes) Fitting parameter: size of Mott Shells Slow mass flow: hard to remove defects from center Final Density (after adiabatic ramp) chemical potential Initial Density 1/U 1/J
Truncated Wigner evolution (in progress) • Symmetry breaking in MI-SF • Configurations as product forms • Initial configuration from Wigner distribution • Dynamics: Schrodinger evolution color –
Conclusions: Mott-SF transition • High energy modes play an important role in fast ramps • Time scale 1/U appears • Critical scaling only for slow ramps and large systems • Optimized protocol useful for observing scaling • Cluster Mean Field is an effective tool for analyzing dynamics in inhomogeneous systems • Mass flow important: hard to remove defects from center
