Generalized Purity and Quantum Phase Transition for Bose-Einstein condensates in a Symmetric Double Well

Quantum Physics 2009-10-17 v1

Abstract

The generalized purity is employed for investigating the process of coherence loss and delocalization of the Q-function in the Bloch sphere of a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate in a symmetrical double well with cross-collision. Quantum phase transition of the model is signaled by the generalized purity as a function of an appropriate parameter of the Hamiltonian and the number of particles (N). A power law dependence of the critical parameter with N is derived.
