Quantum Monte Carlo Results for the Breathing Mode of Trapped Bosons — •Tobias Dornheim, Alexei Filinov, and Michael Bonitz — Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Leibnizstraße 15, 24098 Kiel, Germany

The quantum breathing mode (QBM, e.g. [1]) is of fundamental interest for the investigation of harmonically confined systems since it might serve as a tool of diagnostics [2]. We perform ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) [3] simulations for up to N=1000 particles in TD equilibrium and investigate the QBM for both dipole- and Coulomb-interacting bosons using a recently developed improved sum-rule formalism [4]. We study the dependence on the particle number N and coupling strength λ for 2D and 3D systems and observe a transition towards the classical limit with increasing system size and interaction.
