Abstract :
In this paper, we report on experiments that have used double well system. For example, we have investigated the dynamic splitting of a single BEC by transforming a single well into an asymmetric double-well potential. In this experiment the relative population of the two wells is extremely sensitive to the presence of small gravitational or magnetic field gradients.
