Exact results for a tunnel-coupled pair of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
Abstract
A model describing coherent quantum tunneling between two trapped Bose-Einstein condensates is shown to admit an exact solution. The spectrum is obtained by the algebraic Bethe ansatz. An asymptotic analysis of the Bethe ansatz equations leads us to explicit expressions for the energies of the ground and first excited states in the limit of {\it weak} tunneling and all energies for {\it strong} tunneling. The results are used to extract the asymptotic limits of the quantum fluctuations of the boson number difference between the two Bose-Einstein condensates and to characterize the degree of coherence in the system.
