  • 强相互作用与无序之间的竞争可以重塑量子多体体系的基态结构,并诱导一系列超出传统有序–无序分类的新奇物态。本文通过路径积分蒙特卡洛数值模拟,研究了二维三角晶格中具有长程相互作用的玻色子体系在随机外势阱作用下的基态性质。结果表明,在中等强度的无序化学势条件下,体系可稳定进入一种同时具有超流响应与玻璃特性的超玻璃相。该相表现为有限的超流密度和爱德华–安德森序参量,而不伴随固体序。进一步的有限温度分析显示,超玻璃相对热涨落具有显著鲁棒性,在较高温度下仍可保持其关键特征。本工作为在超冷原子平台,尤其是为无序外势阱下的三角光晶格中的里德堡原子体系实验观测超玻璃相提供了明确的理论依据。

     

    The competition between strong interactions and disorder can fundamentally alter the ground-state landscape of quantum many-body systems, leading to exotic phases that transcend the conventional dichotomy of order and disorder. In this work, we systematically investigate the ground-state properties of hard-core bosons with nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions on a two-dimensional triangular lattice in the presence of a random on-site chemical potential—a paradigmatic model of diagonal disorder. Using large-scale path-integral Monte Carlo simulations combined with the worm algorithm, we numerically study the system at finite temperature and extract key observables: the superfluid density (characterizing phase coherence and superfluidity, \rho_s), the Edwards-Anderson order parameter (quantifying glassy behavior via frozen local density fluctuations, q_ea), and the static structure factor (probing crystalline order, S(\mathbfk)). Our simulations are performed on lattices of linear size up to L=24, with careful averaging over up to 300 independent Monte Carlo runs and 10 distinct disorder realizations to ensure statistical convergence and to mitigate finite-size effects.
    Our results reveal that, for moderate disorder strengths \Delta and at low temperature T=0.2t, the system stabilizes into a superglass phase — a simultaneous manifestation of superfluidity and glassiness without any accompanying crystalline order. Specifically, for average chemical potentials \mu_0/V=3.0 and 6.0, and for t/V=0.1, we find a parameter window \Delta\approx0.1V to 0.4V where \rho_s>0 and q_ea>0 coexist, while \overlineS(\mathbfk)^\mathrmmax remains vanishingly small. This coexistence is robust against finite-size scaling: as system size increases, \overlineS(\mathbfk)^\mathrmmax decays to zero, whereas both \overline\rho_s and q_ea converge to finite values, confirming the thermodynamic stability of the superglass phase. In contrast, for \mu_0/V=4.5 (where the clean system is a solid phase), increasing disorder only leads to a conventional Bose glass phase with q_ea>0 but \overline\rho_s=0. Furthermore, we map out the low-temperature t-\mu phase diagram at fixed \Delta=0.25V, identifying regions of superfluid, Bose glass, and superglass phases. Notably, the superglass emerges in a finite window of intermediate interaction strengths V\approx6-10t, bridging the superfluid and Bose glass regimes. Finite-temperature simulations show that the superglass phase is remarkably robust against thermal fluctuations: the Edwards-Anderson order parameter remains nearly constant for temperatures up to T\lesssim t, and a finite superfluid response persists as long as T\lesssim t. This thermal stability makes the superglass phase experimentally accessible in state-of-the-art ultracold-atom setups. This work provides the first demonstration that a stable superglass phase exists in a hard-core boson system with only diagonal (chemical potential) disorder on a geometrically frustrated triangular lattice—without requiring off-diagonal disorder or random interactions. Our findings significantly expand the parameter space for realizing superglass phases and establish a concrete, experimentally friendly platform for their observation, thereby bridging a critical gap between theoretical prediction and laboratory realization.
