Fragmented condensation in Bose-Hubbard trimers with tunable tunnelling

We consider a Bose-Hubbard trimer, i.e. an ultracold Bose gas populating three quantum states. The latter can be either di erent sites of a triple-well potential or three internal states of the atoms. The bosons can tunnel between di erent states with variable tunnelling strength between two of them...

description We consider a Bose-Hubbard trimer, i.e. an ultracold Bose gas populating three quantum states. The latter can be either di erent sites of a triple-well potential or three internal states of the atoms. The bosons can tunnel between di erent states with variable tunnelling strength between two of them.

By solving the corresponding three-site Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian we obtain the ground state of the system as a function of the trap topology. We characterise the di erent ground states by means of the coherence and entanglement properties. For small repulsive interactions, fragmented condensates are found for the -phase case.
