Exact Quantum Dynamics of a Bosonic Josephson Junction — •Kaspar Sakmann, Alexej I. Streltsov, Ofir E. Alon, and Loerenz S. Cederbaum — Theoretische Chemie, Physikalisch-Chemisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg, Deutschland

The quantum dynamics of a one-dimensional bosonic Josephson junction is studied by solving the time-dependent many-boson Schrödinger equation numerically exactly. Already for weak interparticle interactions and on short time scales, the commonly employed mean-field and many-body methods are found to deviate substantially from the exact dynamics. The system exhibits rich many-body dynamics such as enhanced tunneling and a novel equilibration phenomenon of the junction depending on the interaction, which is attributed to a quick loss of coherence.
