Introduction

Recent advances in atom waveguide technology [25,4,15,22,13,23,19,5,2,12] and the realization of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical and magnetic traps of variable aspect ratio [11,10] have spurred interest in the properties of degenerate quantum gases in lower dimensions. In particular, the Tonks gas, in which strong transverse confinement and low temperature and density allow the gas to be modeled as a one-dimensional (1D) system of point particles with hard-core interactions [20,21], is of considerable theoretical interest due to the fact that it defies a mean-field description, but is on the other hand exactly soluble via the Fermi-Bose mapping [6,7]. Although the exact many-body wave function can be written in a compact form using the mapping theorem, obtaining information about important observables has proven to be a difficult task. One such quantity that bears the signature of the Tonks gas is the momentum distribution, which has a sharp peak at zero momentum [20], in contrast to the Fermi sea for the corresponding 1D gas of fermions. In a mathematical tour de force, Lenard [16] obtained upper bounds on the momentum distribution for a homogeneous Tonks gas, and some elaborations of that work followed [24]. In a previous paper [9] we obtained numerical results for the momentum distribution of a harmonically trapped Tonks gas for up to $ N=10$ particles, and Minguzzi et al. [18] developed an analytic approximation for the high-momentum tail of the momentum distribution of a trapped gas. Cazalilla [3] obtained an analytic approximation for the momentum distribution of Tonks gas confined in a box using a description of the system as a Luttinger liquid.

Our previous calculations of a trapped Tonks gas were performed using a Monte Carlo (MC) integration of the many-body wave function to obtain the single-particle reduced density matrix from which the momentum distribution was obtained via Fourier transformation. Although the data thus generated were useful, an improved method is desirable because of the limited accuracy of MC integration. Even these MC data were limited to $ N=10$ particles, which required weeks of computer time. It seems clear that the way forward is to have high-precision numerical data available for testing the validity of approximations. In this paper we start from the $ N$-particle ground state wave function for a one-dimensional condensate of hard-core bosons in a harmonic trap and develop an algorithm to compute the reduced single-particle density matrix and momentum distribution. The key advantage of this approach is that, although we are limited to only $ N=8$ particles at present by computer resources, these data are of high precision, thus providing a testing ground for analytic approximations.

In Sec. 2, we give a precise definition of the system and find the ground state wave function using the Fermi-Bose mapping theorem. In Sec. 3, we write the single-particle reduced density matrix $ \rho_1$ and develop a method for its numerical solution. In Sec. 4 we use these results for $ \rho_1$ to evaluate the momentum distribution and compare the results to a recent approximation for the high-momentum tail.


Ground state wave function

The Hamiltonian of $ N$ bosons in a 1D harmonic trap is

$\displaystyle \hat{H}=\sum_{j=1}^{N} \left[-\frac{\hbar{^2}}{2m}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial {\tilde x}_{j}^{2}} +\frac{1}{2}m\omega^{2}{\tilde x}_{j}^{2}\right] .$ (1)

We assume that the two-body interaction potential consists only of a hard-core of 1D diameter $ a$. This is conveniently treated as a constraint on allowed wave functions $ {\tilde \psi}({\tilde x}_{1},\ldots,{\tilde x}_{N})$ such that

$\displaystyle {\tilde \psi}=0$   if$\displaystyle \quad \vert{\tilde x}_{j}-{\tilde x}_{k}\vert<a, \quad 1\le j<k\le N,$ (2)

rather than as an infinite interaction potential. It follows from the Fermi-Bose mapping theorem [6,7,8] that the exact $ N$-boson ground state $ {\tilde \psi}_{B0}$ of the Hamiltonian (1) with the constraint (2) is

$\displaystyle {\tilde \psi}_{B0}({\tilde x}_{1},\ldots,{\tilde x}_{N})=\vert{\tilde \psi}_{F0}({\tilde x}_{1},\ldots,{\tilde x}_{N})\vert,$ (3)

where $ {\tilde \psi}_{F0}$ is the ground state of a fictitious system of $ N$ spinless fermions with the same Hamiltonian (1) and constraint. At low densities it is sufficient [20,21] to consider the case of impenetrable point particles, the zero-range limit $ a\to0$ of Eq. (2). Since wave functions of ``spinless fermions'' are antisymmetric under coordinate exchanges, their wave functions vanish automatically whenever any $ {\tilde x}_{j}={\tilde x}_{k}$, the constraint has no effect, and the corresponding fermionic ground state is the ground state of the ideal gas of fermions, a Slater determinant of the lowest $ N$ single-particle eigenfunctions $ {\tilde \phi}_n$ of the harmonic oscillator (HO)

$\displaystyle {\tilde \psi}_{F0}({\tilde x}_{1},\ldots,{\tilde x}_{N})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{N!}} \det_{(n,j)=(0,1)}^{(N-1,N)}{\tilde \phi}_{n}({\tilde x}_{j}) .$ (4)

The HO orbitals are

$\displaystyle {\tilde \phi}_{n}({\tilde x})= \frac{1} {\pi^{1/4}x_{\rm {osc}}^{1/2}\sqrt{2^{n}n!}}e^{-x^{2}/2}H_{n}({\tilde x}/x_{\rm {osc}}),$ (5)

with $ H_n(x)$ the Hermite polynomials and $ x_{\rm {osc}}=\sqrt{\hbar/m\omega}$ the ground state width of the harmonic trap for a single atom. For convenience, we introduce the dimensionless coordinates $ x_i={\tilde x}_i/x_{\rm {osc}}$, and the corresponding ground state wave function $ \psi_{B0}$. As we have shown in previous work [9], substitution of Eq. (5) into Eq. (4) and some matrix manipulations [1] lead to a simple but exact expression of the Bijl-Jastrow pair product form for the $ N$-boson ground state:

$\displaystyle \psi_{B0}(x_{1},\ldots,x_{N})=C_{N}\left[\prod_{i=1}^{N}e^{-x_{i}^{2}/2} \right] \prod_{1\le j<k\le N}\vert x_{k}-x_{j}\vert,$ (6)

with normalization constant

$\displaystyle C_{N}=2^{N(N-1)/4} \left[N!\prod_{n=0}^{N-1}n!\sqrt{\pi}\right]^{-1/2}.$ (7)


Single-particle density matrix

Analytic formula

The reduced single-particle density matrix with normalization $ \int\rho_{1}(x,x)dx=N$ for the ground state given by Eq. (6) is
$\displaystyle \rho_{1}(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle N\int\psi_{B0}(x,x_{2},\ldots,x_{N})$  
    $\displaystyle \times \psi_{B0}(x',x_{2},\ldots,x_{N})dx_{2}\cdots dx_{N}$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle {\mathcal N}_{N}e^{-x^{2}/2}e^{-{x'}^{2}/2} I(x,x'),$ (8)

where the integration is from $ -\infty$ to $ \infty$ for each coordinate unless otherwise stated, and

$\displaystyle {\mathcal N}_N = N 2^{N(N-1)/2} \pi^{-N/2} \left[ \prod_{n=0}^N n! \right]^{-1},$ (9)

and we have defined
$\displaystyle I(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \int\prod_{i=2}^{N}e^{-x_{i}^{2}}
\vert x_{i}-x\vert\vert x_{i}-x'\vert$  
    $\displaystyle \times \prod_{2\le j<k\le N}
(x_{k}-x_{j})^{2}dx_{2}\cdots dx_{N}.$ (10)

In the following subsection, we develop a method for analyzing $ I(x,x')$. We will see that, when $ N$ is small enough (say $ 2$ or $ 3$), the exact expression is manageable, but that we must turn to numerical methods for larger $ N$.

Figure 1: Gray scale plots of the dimensionless reduced density matrix $ x_{\rm{osc}}\rho_1(x,x')$ as a function of the dimensionless coordinates $ x$ and $ x'$, for (a) $ N=2$, (b) $ N=6$, and (c) $ N=8$.

Numerical approach

The multidimensional integral (10) can be expressed in terms of polynomials, Gaussians, and error functions. But, even for relatively small $ N$, the number of terms in such an expression is too large to be useful when written. We previously evaluated the reduced single-particle density matrix using MC methods [9], but with limited numerical accuracy. Here we present a seminumerical approach in which we represent the integral in terms of incomplete gamma functions and evaluate the result to machine precision for particular values of $ x$ and $ x'$.

We reduce the integral $ I(x,x')$ to incomplete gamma functions in the following way. Consider the case $ x<x'$. We first integrate over $ x_2$, writing

$\displaystyle I(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \int dx_{3}\cdots dx_{N} \,
I_2 \prod_{i=3}^{N}e^{-x_{i}^{2}}\vert x_{i}-x\vert\vert x_{i}-x'\vert$  
    $\displaystyle \times \prod_{3\le j<k\le N}(x_{k}-x_{j})^{2} ,$ (11)

where
$\displaystyle I_2$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle I_2(x,x',x_3,\ldots,x_N)$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \left\{\int_{-\infty}^{x}
-\int_{x}^{x'} + \int_{x'}^{\infty}
\right\}P_2 \, dx_2,
\quad x'<x$ (12)

and
$\displaystyle P_2$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle P_2(x,x',x_2,\ldots,x_N)$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle e^{-x_2^2}(x_2-x)(x_2-x')\prod_{2<k\le N} (x_2-x_k)^2.$ (13)

The integrand $ P_2$ is an analytic function of $ x,x'$, and $ x_2$ ( in the sense that derivatives of all orders in these variables exist), so that the integral over each of the three intervals is analytic in these variables. Furthermore, we can evaluate the integral over $ x_2$ in Eq. (12) easily because the integrand is a Gaussian multiplied by a polynomial. We next integrate over $ x_3$, getting
$\displaystyle I(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \int dx_{4}\cdots dx_{N} I_3
\prod_{i=4}^{N}e^{-x_{i}^{2}}\vert x_{i}-x\vert\vert x_{i}-x'\vert$  
    $\displaystyle \times \prod_{4\le j<k\le N}(x_{k}-x_{j})^{2},$ (14)

where
$\displaystyle I_3$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle I_3(x,x',x_4,\ldots,x_N)$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \left\{\int_{-\infty}^{x}
-\int_{x}^{x'} + \int_{x'}^{\infty}
\right\}I_2 P_3 \, dx_3,
\quad x'<x$ (15)

and
$\displaystyle P_3$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle P_3(x,x',x_3,\ldots,x_N)$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle e^{-x_3^2}(x_3-x)(x_3-x')\prod_{3<k\le N} (x_3-x_k)^2.$ (16)

It is important to note that, because $ I_2$ is a polynomial in $ x_3,\ldots,x_N$, the integral $ I_3$ in Eq. (15) can be solved by the same technique used to solve $ I_2$ in Eq. (12). We continue this procedure, defining $ I_4$, etc., until all of the integrals are finished. At each stage, one has a more complicated polynomial in the remaining independent variables in the integrand. Before continuing, we note that there is, of course, nothing essentially new when we choose $ x'<x$. For instance, for $ I_2$, we have

$\displaystyle I_2 = \left\{\int_{-\infty}^{x'} -\int_{x'}^{x} + \int_{x}^{\infty} \right\}P_2 \, dx_2, \quad x'<x.$ (17)

If we examine each of the integrals $ I_2, I_3, \ldots$ above, we see that all of the integrals to be computed can be reduced to terms proportional to integrals of the form

$\displaystyle \alpha_{n}(x,x') = \left\{\int_{-\infty}^{x} -\int_{x}^{x'} + \int_{x'}^{\infty} \right\}e^{-u^2} u^n \, du, \quad x<x'$ (18)

and

$\displaystyle \alpha_{n}(x,x') = \left\{\int_{-\infty}^{x'} -\int_{x'}^{x} + \int_{x}^{\infty} \right\}e^{-u^2} u^n \, du \quad x>x'.$ (19)

We now present an algorithm for expressing the integrals $ I_2,\dots$ in terms of the $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ defined in Eqs. (18) and (19). To achieve this for $ I_2$, we take $ P_2$, drop the factor of $ \exp(-x_2^2)$, expand the remaining factors as a polynomial in $ x_2$, and replace each occurrence of $ x_2^n$ with $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$. The result is $ I_2$ expressed as a polynomial in $ x,x',x_3,\ldots$ with coefficients involving the $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$. This expression for $ I_2$ is substituted into Eq. (15) and the same procedure is then used to compute $ I_3$, and so on, until all powers of $ x_m^n$ have been replaced by $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$. This procedure can be simplified by performing all of these substitutions at once. To this end, consider

$\displaystyle P = \prod_{i=2}^{N} (x_i-x)(x_i-x') \prod_{2\le j<k\le N} (x_j-x_k)^2 .$ (20)

To compute the integral $ I(x,x')$ given in Eq. (10), we expand Eq. (20) and substitute $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ for each occurrence of $ x_m^n$, for any $ m$. In addition, for each value of $ m$ for which a term is independent of $ x_m$, a factor of $ \alpha_{0}(x,x')$ must be included. The result is $ I(x,x')$ expressed as a polynomial in the $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ for approximately $ 2N$ values of $ n$. Rather than print the results, we store a table of the coefficients of the powers of $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ on a computer. Then, a table of the $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ is computed for a particular pair $ x,x'$, and $ I(x,x')$ is computed using this table together with the table of coefficients. Evaluating the $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ using numerical integration is relatively inefficient. Instead, we evaluate them numerically using well-known, efficient routines to compute incomplete gamma functions. We define an indefinite integral

$\displaystyle F_n(x) = \int e^{-x^2} x^n.$ (21)

Then using definitions (18) and (19) we have
$\displaystyle \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle F_n(\infty)-F_n(-\infty)$  
  $\displaystyle +$ sgn$\displaystyle (x'-x)2[F_n(x)-F_n(x')].$ (22)

$ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ is continuous, but has a cusp at $ x=x'$. For numerical computation, we use
  $\displaystyle F_n(\infty)$ $\displaystyle -F_n(-\infty) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-u^2} u^n$  
  $\displaystyle =$ \begin{displaymath}\begin{cases}
0 & \text{ if $n$\ is odd}, \\
\Gamma\left(\fr...
...sqrt\pi
\frac{(n-1)!!}{2^{n/2}} & \text{otherwise},
\end{cases}\end{displaymath} (23)

and
$\displaystyle 2[F_n(x)-F_n(x')]$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle [$sgn$\displaystyle (x)]^n \Gamma\left(\frac{1+n}{2},x^2\right)$  
  $\displaystyle -$ $\displaystyle [$sgn$\displaystyle (x')]^n \Gamma\left(\frac{1+n}{2},x'^2\right).$ (24)

Examples

In this section we carry out in detail the algorithm given above for two particles and give the result for three particles. We first choose $ N=2$ and tabulate the required values of $ F_n$ and $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$. Integrating Eq. (21) by parts, we write

$\displaystyle F_0(x)$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt\pi}{2}$erf$\displaystyle x,$  
$\displaystyle F_1(x)$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}e^{-x^2},$  
$\displaystyle F_2(x)$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}\sqrt\pi$   erf$\displaystyle x-\frac{1}{2}xe^{-x^2}.$  

Using Eq. (22) we then have
$\displaystyle \alpha_{0}(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \sqrt\pi +$   sgn$\displaystyle (x'-x)\sqrt\pi \left( \text{erf}x- \text{erf}x'\right),$  
$\displaystyle \alpha_{1}(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle -$sgn$\displaystyle (x'-x)\left(e^{-x^2}- e^{-{x'}^2} \right),$  
$\displaystyle \alpha_{2}(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt\pi}{2} +$   sgn$\displaystyle (x'-x)
\bigg[\frac{\sqrt\pi}{2}\left( \text{erf}x- \text{erf}x'\right)$  
    $\displaystyle +x'e^{-x^2} - xe^{-{x'}^2} \bigg].$  

Applying the algorithm outlined in the previous section we find for two particles
$\displaystyle \rho_1(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle {\mathcal N}_2 e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{{x'}^2}{2}}
\int_{-\infty}...
..._{2}(x,x')-(x+x')\alpha_{1}(x,x') \nonumber
+xx'\alpha_{0}(x,x')\big] \nonumber$  
  $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle {\mathcal N}_2 e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{{x'}^2}{2}}
\Bigg\{\sqrt\pi\left[\frac{1}{2}+xx' \right]
+$sgn$\displaystyle (x'-x)\left[\left(\frac{1}{2}+xx'\right) \sqrt\pi
\bigg( \text{erf}x- \text{erf}x'\right) \nonumber
+ x'e^{-x^2} - xe^{-{x'}^2} \bigg]
\Bigg\}.$  

For $ N=3$, one can easily compute the expression for $ I(x,x')$ in terms of $ \alpha_{n}(x,x')$ by hand, with the result

$\displaystyle \rho_1(x,x')$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle 2{\mathcal N}_3 e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{{x'}^2}{2}}
\big\{-\alpha _3^2 +\alpha _2\alpha _4$  
$\displaystyle *$ $\displaystyle +$ $\displaystyle p^2(-\alpha _2^2 +\alpha _1\alpha _3) + t(\alpha _2^2 - 2\alpha _1\alpha _3 +\alpha _0\alpha _4)$  
$\displaystyle *$ $\displaystyle +$ $\displaystyle t^2(-\alpha _1^2 +\alpha _0\alpha _2)$  
$\displaystyle *$ $\displaystyle +$ $\displaystyle p\big[ \alpha _2\alpha _3 -\alpha _1\alpha _4
+ t(\alpha _1\alpha _2-\alpha _0\alpha _3) \big] \big\},$  

where $ p=x+x'$, $ t=xx'$, and the explicit dependence of $ \alpha _n$ on $ x$ and $ x'$ is omitted for clarity. For larger values of $ N$, $ I(x,x')$ rapidly becomes more difficult to compute by hand. In the next section we present the results of carrying out the algorithm detailed above on a computer.

Numerical results

We have evaluated the above integrals numerically for $ N=2$-$ 8$.

Figure 1 shows a gray scale plot of the dimensionless reduced single-particle density matrix $ x_{\rm {osc}}\rho _1(x,x')$ versus the normalized coordinates $ x$ and $ x'$ for (a) $ N=2$, (b) $ N=6$, and (c) $ N=8$. We verified that along the diagonal $ \rho_1(x,x)=\rho(x)$ reproduced the single-particle density [14].


Momentum distribution

In terms of the boson annihilation and creation operators in position representation (quantized Bose field operators) the one-particle reduced density matrix is

$\displaystyle \rho_{1}(x,x')=\langle\Psi_{B0}\vert\hat{\psi}^{\dagger}(x')\hat{\psi}(x)\vert \Psi_{B0}\rangle.$ (25)

The momentum distribution function $ n(k)$, normalized to $ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} n(k)dk=N$, is $ n(k)=\langle\Psi_{B0}\vert\hat{a}^{\dagger}(k)\hat{a}(k)\vert\Psi_{B0}\rangle$ where $ \hat{a}(k)$ is the annihilation operator for a boson with momentum $ \hbar k$. Then

$\displaystyle n(k)=(2\pi)^{-1}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dx\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dx' \rho_{1}(x,x')e^{-ik(x-x')}.$ (26)

The spectral representation of the density matrix then leads to $ n(k)=\sum_{j}\lambda_{j}\vert\mu_{j}(k)\vert^2$ where the $ \mu_j$ are Fourier transforms of the natural orbitals: $ \mu_{j}(k)=(2\pi)^{-1/2}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\phi_{n}(x)e^{-ikx}dx$.

Figure 2: Dimensionless momentum distribution $ k_{\rm{osc}}n(\kappa)$ versus normalized momentum $ \kappa=k/k_{\rm{osc}}$ for $ N=2$, $ N=6$, and $ N=8$. Note the peaks becoming sharper with increasing $ N$.
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth,angle=0]{Fig2.eps}

Figure 3: Dimensionless momentum distribution $ k_{\rm{osc}}n(\kappa)$ versus normalized momentum $ \kappa=k/k_{\rm{osc}}$ on log-log scale. The dashed line is the asymptotic expression given by Eqs. (27) and (28).
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth,angle=0]{Fig3.eps}

Figure 2 shows the numerically calculated dimensionless momentum distribution $ k_{\rm {osc}}n(\kappa )$ versus normalized momentum $ \kappa =k/k_{\rm {osc}}$, with $ k_{\rm {osc}}=2\pi/x_{\rm {osc}}$, for (a) $ N=2$, (b) $ N=6$, and (c) $ N=8$. We typically evaluated $ \rho_1(x,x')$ to machine precision for smaller values of $ \kappa$, with precision decreasing to a part in $ 10^{-6}$ for the largest values of $ \kappa$. The key features are that the momentum distribution maintains the peaked structure reminiscent of the spatially uniform case [20,17] for the 1D HO, and that the peak becomes sharper with increasing atom number $ N$. This is to be expected since as the number of atoms increases the many-body repulsion causes the system to become more spatially uniform within the trap interior. Minguzzi et al. [18] determined that the momentum distribution for finite $ N$ decays according to

$\displaystyle \lim_{k\to\infty} k^4 n(k) = A_N,$ (27)

where $ A_N$ depends only on the number of particles. In particular, for $ N=2$, they found

$\displaystyle A_2 = 2 \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} (\hbar m \omega)^{-3/2}.$ (28)

Figure 3 shows our numerical results for $ N=2$ approaching this asymptotic form. The dashed line in Fig. 3 shows $ k_{osc}^5A_2/\kappa^4$ versus $ \kappa=k/k_{osc}$, and we see that this approximation agrees with our numerical results for $ N=2$ for high momenta. Furthermore, inspection of the numerical results for other values of $ N$ shows a $ 1/k^4$ dependence in the high-momentum tail.


Summary and conclusions

In summary, we have developed a method for obtaining high-accuracy results for the momentum distributions of trapped Tonks gases, and presented results for up to eight particles. Our results agree reasonably with the high-momentum approximation $ n(p)\propto 1/p^4$ obtained by Minguzzi et al.
