Tunnelling dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensate in a four wells loop shaped system
arXiv:quant-ph/0702270
Abstract
We investigated the tunnelling dynamics of a zero-temperature Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in configuration of four potential wells arranged in a loop. We found three interesting dynamic regimes: (a) flows of matter with small amplitude, (b) steady flow and (c) forced flow of matter for large amplitudes. The regime of quantum self-confinement has been studied and a new variant of it has been found for this system.
