“…Motivated by the recent experimental and theoretical developments with ultracold atoms in a tailor-made DW potential [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]; and by the prospect of intriguing and controllable quantum effects such as quantum entanglement [32,33,34] and quantum transport [35,36,37,38,39] using DW traps and DW optical lattices [40,41,42], we here carry out a detailed model study on the quantum dynamics and quantum phases of few interacting bosons or fermions in a DW potential, in terms of newly introduced quantum phase operators [21] for matter-waves. The purpose of this work is to show the effects of the finite-range of two-body interaction with large scattering length on the quantum dynamics and quantum phase properties of bosons or fermions trapped in a double-well (DW) potential.…”
