Many-body dynamics of a Bose--Einstein condensate collapsing by quantum tunneling
arXiv:1309.7775 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.89.023610
Abstract
The dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms having attractive interactions is studied using quantum many-body simulations. The collapse of the condensate by quantum tunneling is numerically demonstrated and the tunneling rate is calculated. The correlation properties of the quantum many-body state are investigated.
