Numerical simulation of the propagation of quantum correlations after a quench in the Bose-Hubbard model — •Konstantin Krutitsky1, Patrick Navez1, Friedemann Queisser2, and Ralf Schützhold1 — 1Universtät Duisburg-Essen, Lotharstrasse 1, 47057 Duisburg, Germany — 2The University of British Columbia, 6224 Agricultural Road, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z1, Canada
Using the hierarchy of correlations [1,2,3], we investigate the propagation of quantum correlations after a quench obtained by suddenly switching on the tunneling parameter to the Mott phase in the Bose-Hubbard model in one and two dimensions. To this end, we solve numerically the coupled set of equations for the on-site reduced density matrix and the correlations between two lattice sites. Comparing these results with exact (numerical) diagonalization for small lattices, we find surprisingly good agreement, even in one and two dimensions. For larger lattices, we find that the propagation of quantum correlations obeys an effective light-cone structure and also induces revival properties in ring lattices (with periodic boundary conditions).
