Intrinsic decoherence in an ultracold Bose gas confined in a double-well potential

Santiago F. Caballero-Benítez, Vı́ctor Romero-Rochı́n, R. Paredes

We address the intrinsic decoherence of an N -body interacting bosonic quantum fluid confined in a double-well potential in one dimension, and its effect on the transition from coherent oscillations to self-trapping regimes as a function of the interparticle interaction. Performing a full quantum approach to the N -particle system, we study the transition and the observed decoherence through the analysis of the one-particle reduced density matrix. The results are obtained by following the time evolution of such a matrix. For large systems and because of the interparticle interactions, the system reaches stationary states which can be characterized both by the vanishing of the off-diagonal matrix elements, in what one may call the preferred basis, and by the value of its associated von Neumman entropy. The present results could be useful in analysing experimental realizations, such as those by Albiez et al (2005 Phys. Rev. Lett. 95 010402).

Macroscopic self-trapping in Bose-Einstein condensates: Analysis of a dynamical quantum phase transition

We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential undergoing a dynamical transition from the regime of Josephson oscillations to the regime of self-trapping. We analyze the statistical properties of the ground state (or the highest excited state) of the Hamiltonian in these two regimes for attractive (repulsive) interactions. We demonstrate that it is impossible to describe the transition within the mean-field theory. In contrast, the transition proceeds through a strongly correlated delocalized state, with large quantum fluctuations, and spontaneous breaking of the symmetry.

Dynamics and transport of Bose–Einstein condensates in bent potentials

Rhombik Roy, Ofir E. Alon

The dynamics of bosons in curved geometries have recently attracted significant interest in quantum many-body physics. Leveraging recent experimental advances in tailored trapping landscapes, we investigate the quantum transport of weakly interacting bosons in two-dimensional bent trapping potentials, showing that geometry alone can serve as a precise control knob for tunneling dynamics. Using time-adaptive many-body simulations, complemented by mean-field analysis and exact diagonalization, we analyze both static and dynamical properties of bosons confined in the bent potential. We reveal how bending an initially straight channel induces a transition from density localization to delocalization and drives the buildup of correlations in the ground state. In the dynamics, the bend acts as a tunable barrier that enables controllable tunneling: weak curvature allows coherent tunneling across the bend, while a stronger bend suppresses transport and enhances self-trapping. The tunneling rate can be precisely tuned by geometric parameters, establishing bent traps as versatile platforms for geometry-controlled quantum transport.
