Bosonic Quantum Dynamics Following Colliding Potential Wells
arXiv:2102.01531 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.103.043326
Abstract
We employ the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree method for bosons (MCTDHB) in order to investigate the correlated non-equilibrium quantum dynamics of two bosons confined in two colliding and uniformly accelerated Gaussian wells. As the wells approach each other an effective, transient double-well structure is formed. This induces a transient and oscillatory over-barrier transport. We monitor both the amplitude of the intra-well dipole mode in the course of the dynamics as well as the final distribution of the particles between the two wells. For fast collisions we observe an emission process which we attribute to two distinct mechanisms. Energy transfer processes lead to an untrapped fraction of bosons and a resonant enhancement of the deconfinement for certain kinematic configurations can be observed. Despite the comparatively weak interaction strengths employed in this work, we identify strong inter-particle correlations by analyzing the corresponding Von Neumann entropy.
