Josephson tunneling between weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates
arXiv:cond-mat/9904147 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.64.033610
Abstract
Based on a tunneling Hamiltonian description, we calculate the Josephson, normal and interference currents between two Bose-Einstein condensates described by the Bogoliubov theory. The dominant Josephson term is of first order in the tunneling with a critical current density proportional to the ground state pressure. In contrast to superconductors, the normal current remains finite at zero temperature. We discuss the dynamics of the relative phase in a semiclassical approximation derived from an exact functional integral approach, which includes the interaction effects at fixed total particle number. It is shown that the normal current leads to a damping of the Josephson oscillations and, at long times, eliminates the macroscopic quantum self trapping predicted by Smerzi et.al. Finally we give estimates for an experimental realization of Josephson tunneling in cold atomic gases, which indicate that coherent transfer of atoms might be realized with a Na condensate.
