The Doppler effect is one of the dominant broadening mechanisms in thermal vapor spectroscopy. For two-photon transitions one would naively expect the Doppler effect to cause a residual broadening, proportional to the wave-vector…
In a double-well potential, a Bose-Einstein condensate exhibits Josephson oscillations or self-trapping, depending on its initial preparation and on the ratio of inter-particle interaction to inter-well tunneling. Here, we elucidate the…
We calculate the survival probability P_S(t) up to time t of a tracer particle moving along a deterministic trajectory in a continuous d-dimensional space in the presence of diffusing but mutually noninteracting traps. In particular, for a…
Dynamical properties of a few ultra-cold fermions confined in a double-well potential is studied. We show that the dynamics, which is governed by single-particle tunnelings for vanishing interactions, is completely different for strong…
The nature of the interaction of a soliton with an attractive well is elucidated using a model of two interacting point particles. The model explains the existence of trapped states at positive kinetic energy, as well as reflection by an…
Parallel tempering, also known as replica exchange Monte Carlo, is studied in the context of two simple free energy landscapes. The first is a double well potential defined by two macrostates separated by a barrier. The second is a `golf…
Quadratic trapping potentials are widely used to experimentally probe biopolymers and molecular machines and drive transitions in steered molecular-dynamics simulations. Approximating energy landscapes as locally quadratic, we design…
An asymmetric double-well potential is considered, assuming that the minima of the wells are quadratic with a frequency $\omega$ and the difference of the minima is close to a multiple of $\hbar \omega$. A WKB wave function is constructed…
We study the decay properties of Tonks-Girardeau gases escaping from a double-well potential. Initially, the gases are constrained between two infinite $\delta$ barriers with an on-center $\delta$-split potential. The strength of one of the…
We present a construction of an improved two-mode model for modeling the dynamics of interacting ultra-cold bosons confined in a one-dimensional double well trap. Unlike in the typically used two-mode model based on the lowest…
