We explore a quantum Bose-Hubbard model with cavity fields, revealing novel long-range atom interactions and atom-field entanglement. This significantly alters quantum phase transitions and atomic correlations in cold atom systems.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum physics
  • Atomic physics
  • Condensed matter theory

Background:

  • The Bose-Hubbard model describes interacting cold atoms in optical lattices.
  • Cavity quantum electrodynamics offers novel ways to engineer atom-atom interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a generalized cold atom Bose-Hubbard model incorporating quantum cavity fields.
  • To explore the impact of cavity-mediated interactions and atom-field entanglement on quantum phase transitions.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of an approximate Hamiltonian including long-range interactions.
  • Analysis of few-atom, few-well configurations.
  • Study of population fluctuations and correlations near phase transitions.

Main Results:

  • Cavity fields induce long-range atom-atom interactions and atom-field entanglement.
  • Quantum phase transitions are significantly modified.
  • New correlated atom-field states, including superposition of atomic quantum phases, emerge.
  • Strong modifications in population fluctuations and next-nearest-neighbor correlations are observed.

Conclusions:

  • Quantum cavity fields offer a powerful tool to engineer interactions and entanglement in cold atom systems.
  • This generalized model provides new insights into quantum phase transitions and correlated quantum states.
