Tunnelling induced collapse of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential
arXiv:cond-mat/0407634 · doi:10.1088/0953-4075/37/18/009
Abstract
The stability of a low temperature Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive interactions in one and three dimensional double-well potentials is discussed. In particular, the tunnelling dynamics of a condensate under the influence of a time-dependent potential gradient is investigated. The condensate is shown to collapse at a critical potential gradient which corresponds to a critical number of atoms in one of the two wells. The sensitivity of this tunnelling induced collapse could provide a useful tool in the study of condensates with attractive interactions.
