Abstract

We investigate the influence of density, interaction and harmonic confinement on the superfluid to insulator transition (SIT) in disordered fermionic superfluids described by the one-dimensional Hubbard model. We quantify the ground-state single-site entanglement via density-functional theory calculations of the linear entropy. We analyze the critical concentration CC at which the fully-localized state − a special type of localization, with null entanglement − emerges. We find that CC is independent on the interaction, but demands a minimum disorder strength to occur. We then derive analytic relations for CC as a function of the average particle density for attractive and repulsive disorder. Our results reveal that weak harmonic confinement does not impact the properties of the fully-localized state, which occurs at the same CC, but stronger confinements may lead the system from the fully-localized state to the ordinary localization.
