Realization of a single Josephson junction for Bose–Einstein condensates

Abstract: We report on the realization of a doublewell potential for Rubidium-87 Bose-Einstein condensates. The experimental setup allows the investigation of two different dynamical phenomena known for this system -Josephson oscillations and self-trapping. We give a detailed discussion of the experimental setup and the methods used for calibrating the relevant parameters. We compare our experimental findings with the predictions of an extended two-mode model and find quantitative agreement.

“…Bidirectional couplings between spatially separated condensates have already been realised [42,43]. Furthermore, electron beams have successfully been used to introduce loss in single sites of optical lattices [44], and an influx of atoms can be achieved by exploiting different electronic states of the atoms to transfer them from a reservoir into one well of a trap [45].…”

“…E j is obtained from numerical calculations using independently measured trap parameters and atom numbers. It is important to note that the recently developed improved two mode model [9] is used for these calculations because it leads to quantitative agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of dynamical quantities [16]. The solid line corresponds to the theoretical prediction of the classical model [Eq.…”
