Quantum Monte Carlo study of superfluid density in quasi-one-dimensional hard-core bosons: Effect of suppression of phase slippage

We study the superfluid density of hard-core bosons on quasi-one-dimensional lattices using the quantum Monte Carlo method. Because of phase slippage, the superfluid density drops quickly to zero at finite temperatures with increasing the system length $\ell$ and the superfluid transition temperature is zero in one spatial dimension and also in quasi-one dimension in the limit of $\ell\rightarrow\infty$. We calculate the superfluid density of a model where no phase slippage is allowed and show that the superfluid density remains finite at finite temperatures even in the one-dimensional limit. We also discuss how finite superfluid density can be observed in a quasi-one-dimensional system using a torsional oscillator.
