Stability and dynamics of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate in ring ladders

We investigate the dynamics of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in two coupled rings in ladder configuration. First, we derive from the two-component Gross-Pitaevskii equation a few state model for the angular momentum modes. Then, we analyse the stability of the stationary states by...

Sumario:We investigate the dynamics of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in two coupled rings in ladder configuration. First, we derive from the two-component Gross-Pitaevskii equation a few state model for the angular momentum modes. Then, we analyse the stability of the stationary states by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. Also, we study the dynamics of the system for an arbitrary population imbalance between the rings, characterizing the transition from Josephson oscillations to quantum self-trapping. We also derive the self-trapping condition for the bosonic mixture, finding simultaneous self-trapping of the two components.
