The dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential are analysed in terms of transitions between energy eigenstates. By solving the time-dependent and time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation in one dimension, we identify tunnelling resonances associated with level crossings, and determine the critical velocity that characterises the resonance. We test the validity of a non-linear two-state model, and show that for the experimentally interesting case, where the critical velocity is large, the influence of higher-lying states is important.

We compare and contrast the mean-field and many-body properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double well potential with a single impurity atom. The mean-field solutions display a rich structure of bifurcations as parameters such as the
boson-impurity interaction strength and the tilt between the two wells are varied. In particular, we study a pitchfork bifurcation in the lowest mean-field stationary solution which occurs when the boson-impurity interaction exceeds a critical magnitude. This bifurcation, which is present for both repulsive and attractive boson-impurity interactions, corresponds to the spontaneous formation of an imbalance in the number of particles between the two wells. If the boson-impurity interaction is large, the bifurcation is associated with the onset of a Schroedinger cat state in the many-body ground state. We calculate the coherence and number fluctuations between the two wells, and also the entanglement entropy between the bosons and the impurity. We find that the coherence can be greatly enhanced at the bifurcation.
We present the first experimental realisation of Bose-Einstein condensation in a purely magnetic double-well potential. This has been realised by combining a static Ioffe-Pritchard trap with a time orbiting potential (TOP). The double trap can be rap
idly switched to a single harmonic trap of identical oscillation frequencies thus accelerating the two condensates towards each other. Furthermore, we show that time averaged potentials can be used as a means to control the radial confinement of the atoms. Manipulation of the radial confinement allows vortices and radial quadrupole oscillations to be excited.
Bose-Einstein condensates of sodium atoms, prepared in an optical dipole trap, were distilled into a second empty dipole trap adjacent to the first one. The distillation was driven by thermal atoms spilling over the potential barrier separating the t
wo wells and then forming a new condensate. This process serves as a model system for metastability in condensates, provides a test for quantum kinetic theories of condensate formation, and also represents a novel technique for creating or replenishing condensates in new locations.
We study experimentally and numerically the quasi-bidimensional transport of a $^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensate launched with a velocity $v_0$ inside a disordered optical potential created by a speckle pattern. A time-of-flight analysis reveals a p
ronounced enhanced density peak in the backscattering direction $-v_0$, a feature reminiscent of coherent backscattering. Detailed numerical simulations indicate however that other effects also contribute to this enhancement, including a backscattering echo due to the position-momentum correlations of the initial wave packet.
Dynamics of the double-well Bose-Einstein condensate subject to energy dissipation is studied by solving a reduced one-dimensional time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically. We first reproduce the phase space diagram of the system without
dissipation systematically, and then calculate evolutionary trajectories of dissipated systems. It is clearly shown that the dissipation can drive the system to evolve gradually from the $pi$-mode quantum macroscopic self-trapping state, a state with relatively higher energy, to the lowest energy stationary state in which particles distribute equally in the two wells. The average phase and phase distribution in each well are discussed as well. We show that the phase distribution varies slowly in each well but may exhibit abrupt changes near the barrier. This sudden change occurs at the minimum position in particle density profile. We also note that the average phase in each well varies much faster with time than the phase difference between two wells.
