Transport spectroscopy in the Bose-Hubbard model — •Christian Nietner — Technische Universität Berlin

Motivated by recent experiments [1] we consider a Bose-Hubbard model with a single defect lattice site. This defect is weakly coupled to the surrounding which gives rise to bosonic currents through the defect. In order to describe these defect currents we develop a Lindblad master equation. We treat the remaining bosonic lattice as an effective bath for the defect and obtain a rate equation which depends on the 2-point correlation functions of the Bose-Hubbard model. To calculate these quantities we follow the approach outlined in Ref. [2]. Finally, we obtain defect currents which show signatures of the Mott phase and allow transport spectroscopy of the energy gap.
