Abstract

We identify a one-dimensional supersolid phase in a binary mixture of near-hard-core bosons with weak, local interspecies repulsion. We find realistic conditions under which such a phase, defined here as the coexistence of quasisuperfluidity and quasi-charge-density-wave order, can be produced and observed in finite ultracold atom systems in a harmonic trap. Our analysis is based on Luttinger liquid theory supported by numerical calculations using the time-evolving block decimation method. Clear experimental signatures of these two orders can be found, respectively, in time-of-flight interference patterns and the structure factor S(k) derived from density correlations.
