Sounds waves and fluctuations in one-dimensional supersolids (2403.19151v1)

Published 28 Mar 2024 in cond-mat.quant-gas

Abstract: We examine the low-energy excitations of a dilute supersolid state of matter with a one-dimensional crystal structure. A hydrodynamic description is developed based on a Lagrangian, incorporating generalized elastic parameters derived from ground state calculations. The predictions of the hydrodynamic theory are validated against solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, by comparing the speeds of sound, density fluctuations, and phase fluctuations of the two gapless bands. Our results are presented for two distinct supersolid models: a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in an infinite tube and a dilute Bose gas of atoms with soft-core interactions. Characteristic energy scales are identified, highlighting that these two models approximately realize the bulk incompressible and rigid lattice supersolid limits.
