We have used a microfabricated atom chip to split a single Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium atoms into two spatially separated condensates. Dynamical splitting was achieved by deforming the trap along the tightly confining direction into…

We observe a sudden breakdown of the transport of a strongly repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate through a shallow optical lattice of finite width. We are able to attribute this behavior to the development of a self-trapped state by using…
We consider the Bose-Hubbard model with particle losses at one lattice site. For the non-interacting case, we find that half of the bosons of an initially homogeneous particle distribution, are not affected by dissipation that only acts on…

The presence of a topologically non-trivial discrete invariants implies the existence of gapless modes in finite samples, but it does not necessarily imply their localization. The disappearance of the indirect energy gap in the bulk…
