Abstract
We study a model for interacting spinless bosons in one dimension. The bosons are under a hard-core condition, which does not allow two or more bosons in the same site. However, nearestneighbor interactions between bosons (V) and hoppings to the nearest empty site (t) are allowed. As V increases from a large negative value, the system undergoes a quantum phase transition from a phase-separation (PS) phase to a superfluid (SF) phase because the hopping term overcomes the attractive energy. When V becomes positive and is increased more, the superfluid phase becomes a charge-density-wave (CDW) phase because the repulsive energy blocks the movements of bosons. Via exact diagonalizations, we calculated the ground-state energies, the correlation energies, and the kinetic energies to obtain signatures of the quantum phase transitions. We adopted a fast stateseeking algorithm that enabled us to calculate the ground states and the ground-state energies up to L = 32 more efficiently. Some results are compared with those of quantum Monte Carlo simulations by using stochastic series expansion for the Heisenberg point, and the momentum distribution functions for the three phases are discussed.
