Quantum Monte Carlo simulation of three-dimensional Bose-Fermi mixtures

Abstract

Exploratory simulations of Bose-Fermi mixtures on the three-dimensional optical lattice at finite temperature are performed by adopting the lattice quantum chromodynamics technique. We analyze the bosonic superfluid transition and its dependence on the strength of the boson-fermion coupling. The particle densities and the pair occupancies are also studied to understand the effect of the boson-fermion coupling to the microscopic properties of the system. Effect of the induced fermion-fermion interaction by the boson density fluctuation is clearly seen.
