Exact eigenstates with off-diagonal long-range order for interacting bosonic systems

TL;DR

This paper constructs exact eigenstates for hardcore bosons with nearest-neighbor interactions on a ring lattice, demonstrating off-diagonal long-range order in the thermodynamic limit, and compares these with fermionic systems.

Contribution

It provides the first explicit construction of eigenstates with ODLRO for hardcore bosons and analyzes their properties relative to fermionic systems with identical spectra.

Findings

Hardcore bosons exhibit off-diagonal long-range order in the thermodynamic limit.

Fermionic systems with the same spectrum do not support ODLRO due to particle statistics.

Periodic boundary conditions influence the dynamics of condensate states.

Abstract

Fermions and hardcore bosons share the same restriction: no more than one particle can occupy a single site in a lattice system. Specifically, in one dimension, two systems can share the same matrix representation. In this work, we investigate both the fermion and hardcore-boson models with nearest-neighbor (NN) interaction in a ring lattice. We construct the exact eigenstates of the hardcore-boson model with resonant NN interaction and show that they possess off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) in the thermodynamic limit. In comparison, the fermionic counterpart does not support such a feature due to the different particle statistics, although they share an identical energy spectrum. In addition, we examine the effect of the periodic boundary condition on the dynamics of the condensate states through numerical simulations.
