Effects of three-body collisions in a two-mode Bose-Einstein condenstate
POSTER
Abstract
We study the effects of three-body collisions in the basic physical properties of a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate. By finding the exact analytical solution of a model which includes two-body and three-body elastic and mode-exchange collisions, we show analytically that three-body interactions produce observable effects in the probability distribution of the ground state and the dynamics of the relative population.
