The Josephson effect can be observed in a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential, which is attributed to the tunneling of bosons between two wells. We propose a multi-mode theory to investigate the dynamics of local excitations…

We discuss coherent atomic oscillations between two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates that are energetically different. The weak link is notionally provided by a laser barrier in a (possibly asymmetric) multi-well trap or by Raman…

The Josephson dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensation with Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling is investigated. A quasi-1D trap is divided into two reservoirs by an optical barrier. Before the tunneling between the reservoirs is turned on,…
