Nonlinear dynamics in the mixing and demixing of a two component BEC

POSTER

Abstract

We experimentally study the dynamics resulting from the controlled mixing/demixing of $^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in two different hyperfine states. Large and small scale domain formations are observed as well as the formation of nonlinear structures such as filled solitons. Recent and ongoing results will be presented.
