Tunneling control in an integrable model for Bose-Einstein Condensate in a triple well potential

Abstract

In this work we show the simplest and integrable model for Bose-Einstein condensates loaded in a triple well potential where the tunneling between two wells can be controlled by the other well showing a behavior similar to an electronic field effect transistor. Using a classical analysis, the Hamilton's equation are obtained, a threshold indicating a discontinuous phase transition is presented and the classical dynamics is computed. Then, the quantum dynamics is investigated using direct diagonalization. We find well agreement in both these analysis. Based on our results, the switching scheme for tunneling is shown and the experimental feasibility is discussed.
