Under suitable forcing a fluid exhibits turbulence, with characteristics strongly affected by the fluid's confining geometry. Here we study two-dimensional quantum turbulence in a highly oblate Bose-Einstein condensate in an annular trap.…

We introduce a one-dimensional model of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), combining the double-well potential, which is a well-known setting for the onset of spontaneous-symmetry-breaking (SSB) effects, and time-periodic modulation of the…

The non-equilibrium dynamics of small boson ensembles in a one-dimensional optical lattice is explored upon a sudden quench of an additional harmonic trap from strong to weak confinement. We find that the competition between the initial…

We study the transverse expansion of arrays of ultracold $^{87}$Rb atoms weakly confined in tubes created by a 2D optical lattice, and observe that transverse expansion is delayed because of mutual atom interactions. A mean-field model of a…

For a quantum double well system interacting with a mesoscopic bath, it is shown that a single particle in the bath is sufficient to substantially reduce tunneling between the two wells. This is demonstrated by considering an ammonia…

We theoretically investigate quantum tunnelling escape of a spin-orbit (SO) coupled Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from a trapping well. The condensate is initially prepared in a quasi-one-dimensional harmonic trap. Depending on the system…
