Quantum phases of hard-core dipolar bosons in coupled one-dimensional optical lattices
Hard-core dipolar bosons trapped in a parallel stack of N ≥ 2 one-dimensional optical lattices (tubes) can develop several phases made of composites of particles from different tubes: superfluids, supercounterfluids, and insulators as well as mixtures of those. Bosonization analysis shows that these...

Summary: | Hard-core dipolar bosons trapped in a parallel stack of N ≥ 2 one-dimensional optical lattices (tubes) can develop several phases made of composites of particles from different tubes: superfluids, supercounterfluids, and insulators as well as mixtures of those. Bosonization analysis shows that these phases are thresholdless with respect to the dipolar interaction, with the key "control knob" being filling factors in each tube, provided the intertube tunneling is suppressed. The effective ab initio quantum Monte Carlo algorithm capturing these phases is introduced and some results are presented.
