1) This document proposes measuring double occupancy as a probe of the Mott transition in a one-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model with an optical lattice. 2) It finds that the Mott phase exhibits inherent fluctuations in double occupancy that can be used to detect the Mott phase. 3) The double occupancy in the bulk can be determined from measurements in a trapped system using the local density approximation.

- 33. In summary... Fermionic Hubbard model in one dimension. Mott phase has inherent double occupancy fluctuations. Mott phase detectable via double occupancy. Can read out double occupancy in the bulk from the trapped data. Non-monotonic temperature dependence a universal, local feature. THANKS! arxiv.org:1107.4349

- In the presence of the trap, we can still solve problem analytically if we ignore the hopping term. In this limit the system is always an insulator.We have three regimes: -for weak interactions, the system forms a band insulator with two atoms per site-For strong interaction, we have a Mott insulator with one atom per site-in the intermediate regime we have coexistence of band insulator and mott insulator regions

- Without the trap, exact results are available [Lieb & Wu 1968]The groundstate phase diagram features Luttinger liquid and Mott insulator phases.Can compute D exactly.Interestingly, find large D even deep in the Mott insulating region: for U as large as the bandwidth one in five atoms are in a doubly-occupied site. This is due to strong quantum fluctuations inherent to the Mott insulating state in 1D.
