In terms of the quantum Monte Carlo method, it is shown explicitly that a supersolid phase emerges due to the presence of the alternating potential. For the weak alternating potential, the supersolid state appears for the whole range of hard-core boson densities except the half-filling case, where the system is a Mott insulator. However, for the strong alternating potential, besides the supersolid and Mott insulating states, a charge density wave phase appears.4 pages, 4 figuresStrongly Correlated Electronstext
