Decoherence of squeezed spatial superposition states of a BEC — •Björn Schrinski, Stefan Nimmrichter, and Klaus Hornberger — Physikalische Fakultät, Universität Duisburg-Essen

We study the influence of collisional decoherence and of macrorealistic collapse models on number-squeezed superpositions of Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well configuration. These superpositions were recently produced in an experiment with ultracold Rubidium atoms [1]. Our analysis is based on a many-body generalization of the single-particle collisional decoherence master equation. It can be employed to assess the degree of macroscopicity [2] reached in such squeezed BEC interference experiments.
