Abstract

We calculate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the disorderedBose-Hubbardmodel in one dimension using the density matrix renormalization group.For integer filling the Mott insulator is always separated from thesuperfluid by a Bose glass phase. There is a re-entrance of the Bose glassboth as a function of the repulsive interactionand ofdisorder. At half-filling where no Mott insulator exists, the superfluiddensity has a maximum where the kinetic and repulsive energies are aboutthesame. Superfluidity is suppressed both for small and very strong repulsionbut is always monotonic in disorder.
