Path integral molecular dynamics for thermodynamics and Green's function of ultracold spinor bosons

Most recently, the path integral molecular dynamics has been successfully used to consider the thermodynamics of single-component identical bosons and fermions. In this work, the path integral molecular dynamics is developed to simulate thermodynamics, Green's function, and momentum distribution of two-component bosons in three dimensions. As an example of our general method, we consider the thermodynamics of up to 16 bosons in a three-dimensional harmonic trap. For noninteracting spinor bosons, our simulation shows a bump in the heat capacity. As the repulsive interaction strength increases, however, we find the gradual disappearance of the bump in the heat capacity. We believe that this simulation result can be tested by ultracold spinor bosons with optical lattices and magnetic-field Feshbach resonance to tune the inter-particle interaction. We also calculate Green's function and momentum distribution of spinor bosons. Our work facilitates the exact numerical simulation of spinor bosons, whose property is one of the major problems in ultracold Bose gases.
