Research paperComputational MultiscaleComputational Kinetic ModelQuantum phase diagrams for bosons in hexagonal optical potentials: A continuous-space quantum Monte Carlo studyDanilo Nascimento Guimaraes, Laurent Sanchez-PalenciaarXiv preprint·2026·arXiv:2605.06171AbstractUsing continuous-space exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the phase diagrams of ultracold bosons in honeycomb and h-BN lattices. For the honeycomb lattice, we find significant deviations from the standard Bose–Hubbard model even for strong lattice amplitudes, including suppressed Mott insulator lobes and the absence of higher-order insulating phases. In the h-BN case, a rich phase diagram emerges, featuring multiple Mott lobes with various sublattice occupations, driven by the interplay of lattice asymmetry, interactions, and particle filling.Read more
