1. Introduction
Physical properties of the system of ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices are intensively studied
during the last two decades. Beside a study of thermodynamics and the phase transition to the superfluid
(SF) phase for such lattices of different structure and dimensionality, collective phenomena caused
by interactions of various type are another matter of interest. Theoretical description is based on the
Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) proposed in works [1, 2] and extended by consideration of direct intersite
interactions between particles (resulting in the appearance of modulated and separated phases) [3] as
well as by taking into account the excited single-site states [4]. The extension of a single-site basis that
also takes place in the case of bosons with nonzero spin (e.g., S = 1, [5, 6]) leads to more complex phase
diagrams where the phase transition to the superfluid phase can change its order from the second to the
first one. However, this transition is dominated by the on-site correlation U of bosons of Hubbard type
responsible for a characteristic multilobe shape of phase diagrams (t, µ) [2–7], where t is an energy of
the boson hopping between the neighbouring sites, and µ is the boson chemical potential.
In the limitU →∞ (corresponding to the case of the so-called hard-core bosons (HCB), i.e., no more
than one boson per site, ni 6 1), this theory is applicable to the region where the two above-mentioned
lobes connect at T = 0 [8]. Being rather some kind of approximation, the HCB model is still widely
exploited for a description of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in optical lattices (see [9]). Beside
ultracold systems, the model is used in the theory of ionic conductors [10], the systems of particles
intercalated or adsorbed on the crystal surfaces [11–13], as well as in describing the local electron pairing
in the theory of high-temperature superconductors [14].

Within the framework of theHCBmodel extended by an allowance for the first excited local vibrational
state, we studied a phase transition to the superfluid phase for the case of a particle transfer over the
excited states [4]. It was established that this phase transition can be of the first or of the second order;
the system can also separate into normal (NO) and superfluid (SF) phases. The study was continued
by consideration of non-ergodic effects and their contribution to the momentum distribution of bosonic
particles [15].
The above-mentioned two-state HCBmodel was extended by taking into account the displacements of
bosonic particles from their equilibrium positions in the optical lattice as well as their intersite interaction
leading to the excitations of a phonon type [16]. These excitations are related to transitions between the
ground and excited states of bosonic atoms on lattice sites. Calculations of the displacement correlator
(the Green’s function 〈〈x̂ | x̂〉〉) determining a static susceptibility of “dipole” type revealed a tendency to
the appearance of soft phonon modes and related instabilities with respect to the lowering of an initial
symmetry and the transition to the state with “frozen” displacements.
The present work is aimed at a detailed study of this problem.Wewill consider the coexistence and the
mutual influence of the BEC and the modulation (or the uniform ordering) of the particle displacements.
Our description is based on the two-state HCBmodel where the particle transfer occurs between the local
ground states (unlike the excited-state transfer considered in [4, 16]). This approach takes into account
the peculiarities of boson transfer in the optical lattice with local double-well potentials [17, 18]. Such
a lattice is a valuable test bench allowing for an easy tuning of characteristic parameters of the model
(e.g., the energy of tunnel splitting in double wells). We will study the thermodynamics of the described
system calculating the phase diagrams and establishing the conditions for the phase coexistence. Possible
applications of the obtained results beyond the optical lattices will be discussed as well.
2. Model
The Hamiltonian of the HCB system on a lattice, in which the two lowest local levels separated by an
energy gap δ (δ > 0) are considered only, can be written as
Ĥ = Ĥ0 + Ĥ ′ + Ĥ ′′, (2.1)
where
Ĥ0 =
∑
i j

∑

is the Hamiltonian of noninteracting bosons consisting of the terms that describe the intersite boson
transfer over the ground (ti j) and excited (t ′i j) states,
Ĥ ′ =

∑
i j
Φi j x̂i x̂j (2.2)
corresponds to the interaction between particle displacements (relative to their equilibrium positions in
the respective lattice sites),
Ĥ ′′ = −h
∑
i
x̂i (2.3)
describes the influence of the external field conjugated to the displacements. Here,
x̂i = d(c+i bi + b+i ci), (2.4)
where d is a matrix element of the coordinate operator between the ground and excited states, bi (b+i )
and ci (c+i ) are the bosonic destruction (creation) operators in the respective states.
The following considerations will be performed in the limit t ′i j → 0, i.e., the particles will transfer
over the ground states only. Such an approach corresponds to the case of bosonic particles moving in the
lattice formed by double-well potentials (see appendix A).

BEC and modulation in the two-state Bose-Hubbard model
Due to the chosen HCB limit, the basis of local states |nbi , n
c
i 〉 is reduced to the three (|0〉 = |00〉,
|1〉 = |10〉, |2〉 = |01〉) ones [4]. Thus, in the Hubbard projection operator (X-operator) representation

i , ci = X02
i , x̂i = d
(
X21
i + X12
i
)
;
b+i bi = X11
i , c+i ci = X22
i . (2.5)
This results in

Our aim is to study the thermodynamics and equilibrium states of the considered model as well
to investigate the phase transitions related to the BEC appearance and the particle displacements from
equilibrium positions. The boson transfer and the interaction Φi j are considered in the mean field

Correspondingly, the grand canonical potential of the model looks like

They correspond to the absolute minimum of the grand potential at certain values of the chemical
potential µ and the field h.
In principle, there are phases with ρ = 0 and ξ , 0, ρ , 0 and ξ = 0 as well as ρ , 0 and ξ , 0 (apart
from the normal one with ρ = 0 and ξ = 0). At first, we will consider the transitions to the phases with
ρ , 0 and ξ , 0 as independent ones.

3. Phase with ρ , 0
The solution of the equation system (2.13) with ρ , 0 and ξ = 0 describes a phase with uniform
spontaneous displacements of particles. In the case of the lattice with local potentials as the double wells,
such a solution corresponds to an asymmetric occupation of minima of the well (like a uniform dipole
ordering). At ξ = 0, the eigenvalues of the matrix (2.11) are
λ1 = 0, λ2,3 =

δ2/4 + B2, (3.1)
where B = d[ρΦ(0) − h].
The grand canonical potential is

Φ(0)ρ2 − Θ ln
[
1 + 2 cosh β
√
δ2/4 + B2e−β(δ/2−µ)
]
, (3.2)
the ρ parameter is determined by the second equation from the set (2.13)
ρ = −
2 sinh βR · e−β(δ/2−µ)
1 + 2 cosh βR · e−β(δ/2−µ)
·
Bd
R
, (3.3)
where the notation R =
√
δ2/4 + B2 is introduced.
At the non-zero field h, there is no a trivial solution ρ = 0 of equation (3.3). Such a solution exists
only at h = 0, when other solutions are determined by the equation
1 = −
2 sinh βR0 · e−β(δ/2−µ)
1 + 2 cosh βR0 · e−β(δ/2−µ)
·
d2Φ(0)
R0
, (3.4)
where R0 =
√
δ2/4 + d2Φ2(0)ρ2.
As one can see, this equation can have solutions for ρ atΦ(0) < 0 only. If a conditionΦ(0) > 0 holds,
the uniform ordering of displacements 〈x̂0〉 changes into a modulated one. At the interaction limited to
the nearest neighbours and to the modulation doubling, a lattice constant (when 〈x̂i〉 is equal to +ρ or −ρ
for the first or second sublattices, respectively) an equation analogous to (3.4) has a different sign of the
right-hand side (see appendix B).
Thus, we can consider a single equation
1 =
2 sinh βR0 · e−β(δ/2−µ)
1 + 2 cosh βR0 · e−β(δ/2−µ)
·
d2 |Φ(0)|
R0
, (3.5)
which is valid for the both cases.
Solutions of equation (3.5) are calculated numerically, choosing the ones corresponding to the absolute
minimum of function (3.2). In the limit of the zero temperature, this task greatly simplifies and is carried
out analytically.
3.1. CaseT = 0
At the absolute zero temperature, only the ground state of the system contributes to thermodynamic
potential. Depending on the relations between the model parameters, only the single-site states with
energies λ1 and λ3 can be the ground ones. In the first case
Ω/N = −
1
2
Φ(0)ρ2 + λ1 = −
1
2
Φ(0)ρ2 (3.6)
and the equality ρ = 0 follows from conditions (2.13). In this phase, the particles (and, of course, their
displacements) are absent.
23002-4
BEC and modulation in the two-state Bose-Hubbard model
When the ground state corresponds to the level λ3,
Ω/N = −
1
2
Φ(0)ρ2 + δ/2 − µ −
√
δ2/4 + B2. (3.7)
Based on conditions (2.13), we obtain the following equation for the parameter ρ
ρ = −
Bd√
δ2/4 + B2
. (3.8)
After replacement Φ(0) = −|Φ(0)| [for Φ(0) < 0], this equation can be rewritten as
ρ =
B̄d√
δ2/4 + B̄2
, (3.9)
where B̄ = d[ρ|Φ(0)| + h]. As stated above, the equation also holds in the case Φ(0) > 0.
At certain conditions, the ground state can be changed. Based on the equality λ1 = λ3, one can
conclude that it takes place at
ρ =
√
µ(µ − δ)
|Φ(0)|d
−
h
|Φ(0)|
. (3.10)
It follows from formula (3.9) that ρ → ±d at h → ±∞, respectively. On the other hand, the solution of
equation (3.9) with respect to h is as follows:
h =
δ
2d
·
ρ√
d2 − ρ2
− ρ|Φ(0)|. (3.11)
Obviously, at ρ � d
h ≈
[
δ
2d2 − |Φ(0)|
]
ρ. (3.12)
It follows from the above expression that the curve of ρ as a function of h is S-shaped at
δ/2 < d2 |Φ(0)| ≡ W, (3.13)
defining a condition for the appearance of a spontaneous displacement at h = 0
ρs0 = d
√
1 −
δ2
4W2 , (3.14)
which can be obtained from (3.9). It describes a state with a uniform or modulated displacement
[determined by the sign of Φ(0)] of bosonic particles residing in the lattice sites. It is important that ρs0
is independent of the chemical potential of bosons.
Thus, there are two possible phases of the system at T = 0: (1) the phase with ρ = 0 (the ground
level is λ1) and (2) the phase with ρ = ρs0 (the ground level is λ3). The transition between them can
be investigated by calculation of the grand canonical potential Ω at variation of µ with the constraint
λ1 = λ3.
Substituting ρ [formula (3.10)] into the expression
Ω/N = +

|Φ(0)|ρ2 + λ1 = −

n̄B changes from n̄B = 0 to n̄B = 1 at the rise of µ [as it follows from formulae (3.6) and (3.7)].
3.2. CaseT , 0
The above considerations are limited to the zero temperature. At T , 0, one should start from the
equations (3.3) or (3.5) as well as from the general expression (3.2) for the grand canonical potential Ω
and perform numerical calculations. As usual, a spontaneous (i.e., at h = 0) value of the order parameter
ρ decreases at the rise of temperature. The phase transition to the NO phase is of the second order. It
occurs at the temperature defined by the equation

which follows from (3.5) in the limit ρ→ 0.
The dependences ofΩ and ρ on µ at various temperatures are depicted in figure 3. The corresponding
phase diagram (T, µ) shown in figure 4 defines the region of the ρ , 0 phase at a certain relationship
between the parameter W (describing the interaction of bosonic displacements) and the energy δ of the
excited bosonic state on a lattice site. Figure 4 also demonstrates the spinodal curve where the NO phase
reaches an absolute instability [the spinodal is defined by the equality (∂ρ/∂µ)|ρ=0 = ∞].
4. Phase ξ , 0
Here, we consider the phase transition between the NO and SF (with ξ , 0) phases for the model (2.1)
(where bosons transfer through the ground state) assuming its independence of the phase transition with
the order parameter ρ. Obviously, it happens in the absence of the interaction of displacementsΦi j . Later
on, we will formulate the criterion for such a transition at non-zero values of Φi j .
One can separate the part of theHamiltonianwhich is related to theBEC.According to equations (2.10)
and (2.11), in the MFA and under conditions ρ = 0 and h = 0, the single-site spectrum of bosons in the
SF phase looks as follows:

on the chemical potential of bosons µ at T , 0 (|t(0)| = 0, δ = 0.5 and W = 1). Quantities having a

The above equation is known from the two-state model. It was obtained in a similar form in [4] for the
case of the boson transfer through excited states, which corresponds to a different sign of the parameter δ.
Equation (4.3) has non-zero solutions at t(0) < 0. At δ > 0, the phase transition to the SF phase is of
the second order in the limit T → 0, as demonstrated in [4]. This can be proved by analyzing the ground
state of a bosonic system: level z2 is the lowest one for any value of µ. For potential Ω, we have

The above expression demonstrates that the SF phase (ξ , 0) exists in the region −|t(0)| < µ < |t(0)|.

The derivative ∂
∂µ (Ω/N) = −n̄B (thus, defining the concentration of bosons) is continuous at points
µ = ±|t(0)|. This is an evidence that the transition to the SF phase (ξ , 0) is of the second order (at
T = 0). Dependences Ω/N and n̄B on µ are presented in figures 5 and 6, respectively.
It should be mentioned that at T , 0, due to a partial occupation of the excited state, the phase
transition to the SF phase can change its order from the second to the first one. It takes place at low
energies of excitation δ and at intermediate temperatures (this issue is discussed more in detail in [4]).
5. Complete phase diagrams
All aforementioned conditions for the appearance of phases with ξ , 0 or ρ , 0 at T = 0 are obtained
assuming the phases as mutually exclusive. Such a conjecture is true at Φi j = 0 for the former phase and
at ti j = 0 for the latter one. At non-zero parameters Φi j and ti j , the domains of the above-mentioned
phases intersect. Only the analysis of the grand potential Ω can detect the thermodynamically stable
phases in this case.
We have performed numerical calculations based on expression (2.12) with the use of eigenvalues of
matrix (2.11) and self-consistency equation (2.13). It is shown that only phases with ξ , 0 or ρ , 0 can
be thermodynamically stable while the phase with the both non-zero order parameters (ξ , 0 and ρ , 0)
is unstable at any conditions in the considered model. Thus, complete phase diagrams can be built by
comparison of the grand canonical potentials for respective phases.

The phase transition to the ρ phase at an increase of µ takes place prior to the possible appearance of
the BEC. The branch Ωξ (corresponding to the state with ξ , 0) has greater values of Ω than the branch
Ωρ (corresponding to the state with ρ , 0); hence, the SF phase is unstable. Thus, there are sequentially
two phases here: (1) the NO phase (ρ = 0 and ξ = 0) at µ < µ1 and (2) the phase with ρ , 0 at µ > µ1
[µ1 = −W(1 − δ/2W)2/2].
The second case [when condition (5.1) does not hold] corresponds to large values of bosonic transfer
|t(0)|. As one can see in figure 7 (b), minimum values of potential Ω are reached on three branches
in respective intervals: (1) the branch Ω0 = 0 at µ < −|t(0)| (the NO phase), (2) the branch Ωξ at
−|t(0)| < µ < µ∗ (the SF phase with ξ , 0) and (3) the branch Ωρ at µ > µ∗ (the phase with ρ , 0). The

In this case, the SF phase exists at the rise of µ as an intermediate one prior to the phase with ρ , 0.
The phase transition to the SF phase at µ = −|t(0)| is of the second order while the phase transition at
µ = µ∗ between the phases with non-zero ξ and ρ is of the first order. In a similar way, if condition (5.1)
is fulfilled and the SF phase is absent, then the transition to the ρ phase is of the first order.
The behaviour of the boson concentration n̄B in the region of these phase transitions is presented in
figures 8 (a) and 8 (b). The phase transition of the first order to the ρ phase is accompanied by a steplike
change of n̄B, while n̄B(µ) is a linear function in the SF phase. Such a dependence on µ at T = 0 is
characteristic of the SF phase of the BHM [19, 20].
The above considerations are valid at the absolute zero temperature. Numerical calculations prove
that at T , 0, the SF phase remains intermediate as in the above discussed case. Phase diagrams (T, µ) at
various values of parameter |t(0)| (presented in figure 9) demonstrate a narrowing of the SF region at a
decrease of |t(0)|. The achievable maximum temperature of the SF phase also decreases. At |t0 | < |t0 |cr,
the SF phase is absent (|t0 |cr ≈ 0.2 at T = 0.1, δ = −0.9, W = 0.8; see the phase diagram (|t0 |, µ) in
figure 10).
At T , 0, the phase transition between the ξ and ρ phases is also of the first order. At small values of
|t(0)|, the phase transition between NO and ρ phases changes its order from the first to the second one at
the rise of temperature (figure 9). At large enough values of |t(0)|, this transition is of the second order
starting from the triple point where all three phases are in equilibrium.

6. Conclusions
Thermodynamics of the lattice bosonic system, studied within the framework of the two-state HCB
model, is affected by an intersite interaction, caused by displacements of particles from their equilibrium
positions on lattice sites, which can lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking and to the appearance of a
phase with uniform or space-modulated displacements. Matrix elements of displacements are related to
bosonic transitions between the ground and excited states. Thus, thementioned orderings of displacements
are analogous to dipole orderings in ferroelectrics. An intersite particle transfer leads to the instability

with respect to the BE condensation that exists in such intervals of the chemical potential of bosons
where their concentration is non-integer and varies. Competition between this effect and the tendency
to freezing of the displacements affects the shape of phase diagrams defining the regions of the NO
phase, the SF phase (ξ , 0) and the phase with spontaneous displacements (ρ , 0). The phase with
non-zero values of both order parameters ρ and ξ is unstable, as proved by a numerical analysis of the
Ω(µ) dependence. Such a state could be a supersolid phase which is well known from the theory of phase
transitions in optical lattices derived within the framework of an extended Bose-Hubbard model with
frustration (see, for example, [21]).
In particular, our model approach is aimed at optical lattices formed by the system of local double
wells. In this case, a decisive contribution is made by the intersite hopping of particles residing in the
ground vibrational state. Hence, a “frozen” displacement (when ρ , 0) corresponds to localization in
certain minima of the double wells. Such a phenomenon is similar to the ordering of protons in hydrogen
bonds in hydrogen-bonded ferroelectric crystals. However, there is a difference: the number of protons
in these crystals is constant (one proton per bond). The exception is a crystal with a superprotonic
(superionic) phase where the number of virtual H-bonds exceeds the number of protons, so the average
bond occupation is fractional (n̄i < 1). The crystals of the M3H(XO4)2 family (where M = Rb, Cs, NH4;
X = S, Se), in which in the superprotonic phase n̄i = 1/3, are an example, see [22]. Thus, our model
can also be applied to a description of phases with a superprotonic conductivity existing at temperatures
higher than the ones characteristic of the ordered phases with an integer occupation per hydrogen bond.
A possibility of the above-mentioned scenario is illustrated in figure 9, where at some relations between
the model parameters and certain values of the boson chemical potential, the SF phase can appear at
intermediate temperatures.
It should be mentioned that the model of the (2.1) type, describing the proton ordering as well as
superionic transition as a disordering process, was proposed for the mentioned class of crystals and was
used for the calculation of proton conductivity [22, 23]. Anyway, this issue calls for a separate and more
detailed study.
A. Optical lattice with double-well potentials
As an example, let us consider an optical lattice with local double-well potentials. For simplicity, the
further consideration will be limited to the case of a simple cubic lattice with the lattice constant R0 where
double wells are oriented along a certain axis (figure 11). As usual, we assume that bosons residing in

the lattice potential wells are localized in vibrational states with the lowest energy. For the lattice site i,
these states |i, a〉 and |i, b〉 are localized in minima a and b, respectively.
We take into account the hopping of bosons between the nearest positions in the lattice: (1) hopping
between the minima a and b in a single double well and (2) hopping between neighbour double wells
[24]. In the first case, the Hamiltonian for the well on the lattice site i looks as follows:
Ĥ0 = Ω(c+iacib + c+ibcia) − µ(c+iacia + c+ibcib), (A.1)
where cia(c+ia) and cib(c+ib) are operators of destruction (creation) of bosons in potential minima |i, a〉 and
|i, b〉, Ω is the parameter describing the hopping (tunnelling) between them, µ is the chemical potential
of bosons. By means of transformation

Ĥi = E1d+i1di1 + E2d+i2di2 , (A.3)
where E1,2 = ±Ω− µ. At Ω < 0, the ground state is a symmetric one |i, 1〉. Due to tunnelling, the excited
state is separated from the ground one by a gap of the width 2|Ω|.

When the distance rab between positions (a) and (b) in a potential well is much smaller compared
to the distance R0 between the neighbour wells [24], one can perform expansions in terms of the ratio
rab/R0. In this way, the hopping parameters are expressed as follows:

At a small ratio rab/R0, the major contribution is made by hopping between symmetric states. The
corrections start in the MFA from the second order (linear corrections mutually compensate). Neglecting
the terms of the second (and higher) order, the bosonic transfer is described by the Hamiltonian

operator (A.8) transforms to Hamiltonian (2.1).
B. State with modulation of displacements
To describe the modulation with a doubled lattice constant, it is convenient to divide the initial lattice
into two sublattices. Let us put
〈x̂i1〉 = ρ1 , 〈x̂i2〉 = ρ2 (B.1)
for the first and second of them, respectively. If the intersite interaction between displacements Φi j is
considered in the MFA, an external field is absent and ti j → 0, then the Hamiltonian can be written down

When Φi j is different from zero only for nearest neighbours, its Fourier transform Φ ( ®q ) has extrema
only in the centre and on the boundary of the Brillouin zone. Hence, there are two possible cases.
1. ρ1 = ρ2 = ρ (a uniform ordering of displacements). Equation (B.8) reduces to the above-written
one (4.3) with non-zero solutions at Φ(0) < 0.
2. ρ1 = −ρ2 = ρ (an alternating modulation with a doubled lattice constant). Here, equation (B.8)
should be rewritten for ρ with a plus sign of the right-hand side. Non-zero solutions exist at
Φ(0) > 0.

Бозе-ейнштейнiвська конденсацiя та/або модуляцiя
“змiщень” у двостановiй моделi Бозе-Хаббарда
I.В. Стасюк, О.В. Величко
Iнститут фiзики конденсованих систем НАН України, вул. Свєнцiцького, 1, 79011 Львiв, Україна
Дослiджено нестiйкостi, результатом яких є бозе-конденсацiя та/або модуляцiя “змiщень” у системi кван-
тових частинок, якi описуються двостановою моделлю Бозе-Хаббарда з врахуванням взаємодiї мiж змi-
щеннями частинок у рiзних вузлах ґратки. Вивчено можливiсть модуляцiї з подвоєнням перiоду ґратки, а
також однорiдного змiщення частинок з рiвноважних позицiй. Проаналiзовано умови реалiзацiї згаданих
нестiйкостей та фазових переходiв до SF фази та “впорядкованої” фази (зi замороженими змiщеннями),
вивчено поведiнку параметрiв порядку та побудовано фазовi дiаграми — як аналiтично (для основного
стану), так i числовим способом (при ненульовiй температурi). Показано, що SF фаза може з’явитися як
промiжна мiж нормальною та “впорядкованою” фазами, в той час як фаза “суперсолiд” є термодинамiчно
нестiйкою i не реалiзується. Обговорено застосовнiсть отриманих результатiв до ґраток з локальними
потенцiалами типу подвiйних ям.
Ключовi слова: модель Бозе-Хаббарда, жорсткi бозони, бозе-конденсат, фазовий перехiд, змiщення
частинок, однорiдне та модульоване впорядкування
