Interacting Anyons in a One-Dimensional Optical Lattice — •Martin Bonkhoff, Kevin Jägering, Sebastian Eggert, and Axel Pelster — State Research Center OPTIMAS and Fachbereich Physik, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany

We analyze in detail the properties of the one-dimensional Anyon-Hubbard model, which can be mapped to a corresponding Bose-Hubbard model with a density-dependent Peierls phase via a generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation [1]. At first we extend the modified version of the classical Gutzwiller-mean-field ansatz of Ref. [2] in order to obtain the pair-correlation function for both the bosonic and the anyonic system. A comparison of the resulting quasi-momentum distributions with high-precision DMRG calculations reveals in general a parity breaking, which is due to anyonic statistics. Afterwards, we determine how the boundary of the superfluid-Mott quantum phase transition changes with the statistical parameter. We find in accordance with Ref. [1] that the statistical interaction has the tendency to destroy superfluid coherence.
