Coherent atomic oscillations and resonances between coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with time-dependent trapping potential
We study the quantum coherent tunneling between two Bose-Einstein condensates separated through an oscillating trap potential. The cases of slow and rapid varying in the time trap potential are considered. In the case of a slowly varying trap, we study the nonlinear resonances and chaos in the oscillations of the relative atomic population. Using the Melnikov function approach, we find the cond...
متن کاملMacroscopic quantum tunneling and resonances in coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with oscillating atomic scattering length
We study the macroscopic quantum tunneling , self-trapping phenomena in two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with periodically time-varying atomic scattering length. The resonances in the oscillations of the atomic populations are investigated. We consider oscillations in the cases of macroscopic quantum tunneling and the self-trapping regimes. The existence of chaotic oscillations in t...

We analyze the coherent multimode dynamics of a system of coupled atomic and molecular Bose gases. Starting from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate with a small thermal component, we observe a complete depletion of the atomic and molecular condensate modes on a short time scale due to a significant population of excited states. Giant coherent oscillations between the two condensates for typical...
متن کاملCoupled eigenmodes in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate
We have studied the elementary excitations in a two component Bose-Einstein condensate. We concentrate on the breathing modes and find the elementary excitations to possess avoided crossings and regions of coalescing oscillations where both components of the condensates oscillate with the same frequency. For large repulsive interactions between the condensates, their oscillational modes tend to...
متن کاملEntanglement of two-mode Bose-Einstein condensates
We investigate the entanglement characteristics of two general bimodal Bose-Einstein condensates—a pair of tunnel-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates and the atom-molecule Bose-Einstein condensate. We argue that the entanglement is only physically meaningful if the system is viewed as a bipartite system, where the subsystems are the two modes. The indistinguishibility of the particles in the cond...
