Coherent oscillations between two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates: Josephson effects, oscillations, and macroscopic quantum self-trapping

S Raghavan, A Smerzi, S Fantoni, SR Shenoy - Physical Review A, 1999 - APS
We discuss the coherent atomic oscillations between two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein
condensates. The weak link is provided by a laser barrier in a (possibly asymmetric) double …

Macroscopic quantum interference from atomic tunnel arrays

BP Anderson, MA Kasevich - Science, 1998 - science.org
Interference of atomic de Broglie waves tunneling from a vertical array of macroscopically
populated traps has been observed. The traps were located in the antinodes of an optical …

Superfluid Josephson weak links

JC Davis, RE Packard - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2002 - APS
Josephson weak links between samples of macroscopic quantum systems such as
superconductors, superfluids, and Bose-Einstein condensates provide a unique tool with …

A bosonic Josephson junction

R Gati, MK Oberthaler - … of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and …, 2007 - new.iopscience.iop.org
We review the experimental realization of a single bosonic Josephson junction for ultracold
gases, which was made possible by the generation of a precisely controllable double-well …

Measurements of relative phase in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

DS Hall, MR Matthews, CE Wieman, EA Cornell - Physical Review Letters, 1998 - APS
We have measured the relative phase of two Bose-Einstein condensates using a time-
domain, separated-oscillatory-field condensate interferometer. A single two-photon coupling …

Anderson's considerations on the flow of superfluid helium: Some offshoots

E Varoquaux - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
Nearly five decades have elapsed since the seminal 1966 paper of PW Anderson on the
flow of superfluid helium, He 4 at that time. Some of his “considerations”—the role of the …

Dynamics of a tunable superfluid junction

LJ LeBlanc, AB Bardon, J McKeever, MHT Extavour… - Physical review …, 2011 - APS
We study the population dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential
throughout the crossover from Josephson dynamics to hydrodynamics. At barriers higher …

Josephson effects in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates

S Giovanazzi, A Smerzi, S Fantoni - Physical review letters, 2000 - APS
We propose an experiment that would demonstrate the dc and ac Josephson effects in two
weakly linked Bose-Einstein condensates. We consider a time-dependent barrier, moving …

Observation of the ideal Josephson effect in superfluid 4He

K Sukhatme, Y Mukharsky, T Chui, D Pearson - Nature, 2001 - nature.com
Superfluids and superconductors are the only states of condensed matter that can be
described by a single wavefunction, with a coherent quantum phase Φ. The mass flow in a …

Bose-condensate tunneling dynamics: Momentum-shortened pendulum with damping

I Marino, S Raghavan, S Fantoni, SR Shenoy, A Smerzi - Physical Review A, 1999 - APS
Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well trap, as well 3 H e− B baths connected by
micropores, have been shown to exhibit Josephson-like tunneling phenomena. Unlike the …
