Role of the relative phase in the merging of two independent Bose-Einstein condensates
arXiv:1003.0596 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.79.013631
Abstract
We study the merging of two independent Bose-Einstein condensates with arbitrary initial phase difference, in the framework of a one-dimensional time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii model. The role of the initial phase difference in the process is discussed, and various types of phase-sensitive excitations are identified.
