Abstract

We analyze the effects of temperature on the properties of a system of ultracold atoms confined by a double-well potential. We consider the case of repulsive interactions and review the different approximations to the exact many-body results.

next chapter Multiple Fluxon Analogues and Dark Solitons in Linearly Coupled Bose–Einstein Condensates

Although the physics is of course different, the mathematical approach followed here is the familiar one in the theory of paramagnetism. See e.g. the textbooks of Ashcroft and Mermin [21] or Kittel [22]. In particular Eqs. (14), and (25) involve the same Brillouin function that plays a central role in the study of paramagnetic ions.

Note that in Refs. [23, 24] experimental data are measured for \(E_C = 0.016\,{\text{nK}},\, E_J =0.43\,{\text{nK}}\) and \(N=3000\) atoms. Thus \(E_J/(E_C N^2) =2.986 \cdot 10^{-4} \ll 1\). In our notations: \(E_J/(E_C N^2) = ( J N)/(2 UN^2) = 1/(4\gamma)\), and indeed this implies that \(\gamma \gg 1\) in their experiment.
