Description

For $N$ hard-core bosons on an arbitrary lattice with $d$ sites and independent of additional interaction terms we prove that the hard-core constraint itself already enforces a universal upper bound on the Bose-Einstein condensate given by $N_{max}=(N/d)(d-N+1)$. This bound can only be attained for one-particle states $|\varphi\rangle$ with equal amplitudes with respect to the hard-core basis (sites) and when the corresponding $N$-particle state $|\Psi\rangle$ is maximally delocalized. This result is generalized to the maximum condensate possible within a given sublattice. We observe that such maximal local condensation is only possible if the mode entanglement between the sublattice and its complement is minimal.
