Description
Summary:In this paper, we study the effect of a random quenched external field for spin order and also multiple Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC). This system is realized by the cold atomic gases in an optical lattice. In particular, we are interested in the strong-repulsion region of the two-component gases for which the bosonic t-J model is a good effective model. In the bosonic t-J model, a long-range order of the pseudo-spin and also BEC of atoms appear quite naturally as in the fermion t-J model for the high-temperature superconducting materials. Random Raman scattering between two internal states of a single atom plays a role of the random external field, and we study its effects on the pseudo-spin order and the BEC by means of quantum Monte-Carlo simulations. The random external field breaks a continuous U(1) symmetry existing in the original bosonic t-J model and it induces new orders, named random-field-induced order (RFIO). We show a phase diagram of the bosonic t-J model with the random external magnetic field and study the robustness of the RFIO states. We also study topological excitations like vortices and the domain wall in the RFIO state. Finally, we point out the possibility of a quantum bit by the RFIO.
