Quantum Statistical Properties in Two-Species Bose–Einstein Condensates
Zhao-Xian Yu, Weigang Zhang
Abstract
We have studied quantum statistical properties in a zero-temperature two-species Bose–Einstein condensate system in the presence of the nonlinear self-interaction of each species, the interspecies nonlinear interaction, and the Josephson-like tunneling interaction. It is found that the two condensates may periodically exhibit sub-Poissonian distribution. It is revealed that the correlation between the two condensates can be nonclassical, which means that there exists a violation of Cauchy–Schwartz inequality. The nonclassical effect about the correlation between the two condensates can be realized experimentally by properly preparing the total number of atoms in the two condensates.
