We compare the ground-state energies of bosons and fermions with the same form of the Hamiltonian. If both are noninteracting, the ground-state energy of bosons is always lower, owing to Bose-Einstein condensation. However, the comparison is nontrivial when bosons do interact. We first prove that, when the hopping is unfrustrated (all the hopping amplitudes are non-negative), hard-core bosons still must have a lower ground-state energy than fermions. If the hopping is frustrated, bosons can…

We study the connections among particle statistics, frustration, and ground-state energy in quantum many-particle systems. In the absence of interaction, the influence of particle statistics on the

We introduce and study a lattice fermion model in one dimension with explicit $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry (SUSY). The Hamiltonian of the model is defined by the square of a supercharge built from
Absence of Bose condensation on lattices with moat bands
• Physics

We study hard-core bosons on a class of frustrated lattices with the lowest Bloch band having a degenerate minimum along a closed contour, the moat, in the reciprocal space. We show that at small
Spin-orbit coupling and strong correlations in ultracold Bose gases
The ability to create artificial gauge fields for neutral atoms adds a powerful new dimension to the idea of using ultracold atomic gases as “quantum simulators” of models that arise in conventional
Peierls bipolarons and localization in solid-state and molecular systems
In this thesis, I investigate the behavior of particles dressed by quantum field excitations and random interactions. First I consider two-carrier states in the Peierls model describing the
Phonon-mediated repulsion, sharp transitions and (quasi)self-trapping in the extended Peierls-Hubbard model

It is shown that exchange of phonons generates effective nearest-neighbor repulsion between particles and also gives rise to interactions that move the pair as a whole, and that the coupling to phonons may completely suppress or strongly enhance quantum transport of correlated particles.

In quantum lattice systems with geometric frustration, particles cannot move coherently due to destructive interference between tunnelling processes. Here we show that purely local, Markovian
