Numerical analysis of dissipation-induced correlations in 1D bosonic systems — •Martin Kiffner and Michael Hartmann — Technische Universität München, Physik-Department I, James-Franck-Straße, 85748 Garching, Germany

In one-dimensional systems, bosons can behave with respect to many observables as if they were fermions. This strongly correlated regime of a Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas regime can be reached for strong repulsive interactions between the particles. Recently, an experiment [1] with cold molecules showed that not only elastic interactions, but even two-particle losses alone are able to create a TG gas. Theoretical work [2] suggests that a dissipation induced TG gas could also be realized with polaritons. The molecular and the polariton system are both described by a master equation for bosons in a one-dimensional setting that experience inelastic two-particle interactions.

Here we present a numerical analysis of this master equation via a time-evolving block-decimation (TEBD) algorithm. In particular, we address the preparation of the strongly correlated regime starting from an uncorrelated state and discuss the time evolution of local as well as non-local observables.
