Universal scaling of density and momentum distributions in Lieb-Liniger gases

We present an exact numerical study of the scaling of density and momentum distribution functions of harmonically trapped one-dimensional bosons with repulsive contact interactions at zero and finite temperatures. We use path integral quantum Monte Carlo with worm updates in our calculations at finite interaction strengths, and the Bose-Fermi mapping in the Tonks-Girardeau regime. We discuss the homogeneous case and, within the local density approximation, use it to motivate the scaling in the presence of a harmonic trap. For the momentum distribution function, we pay special attention to the high momentum tails and their k-4 asymptotic behavior.
