The mean-field dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate is studied in presence of a microscopic trapping potential from which the condensate can escape via tunneling through finite barriers. We show that the method of complex scaling can be…
Atoms can be extracted from a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by driving spin-flips to untrapped states. The coherence properties of the BEC are transfered to the released atoms, creating a coherent beam of matter refered to as an…
The widely used Gross-Pitaevskii equation treats only coherent aspects of the evolution of a Bose-Einstein condensate. However, inevitably some atoms scatter out of the condensate. We have developed a method, based on the field theory…
