We study the interpolation from occupation number Fock states to Schrödinger cat states on
systems modeled by a two-mode Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, like, for instance, bosons in a …

Beyond-mean-field behavior of large Bose-Einstein condensates in double-well potentials

B Gertjerenken, C Weiss - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2013 - APS
For the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), differences between mean-field
