Interference and transport of Bose-Einstein condensates

This dissertation studies the dynamics of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (nEes) and Bose gases in a suddenly modified potential. Firstly, we investigate the correlation between vortex formation and interference in merging Bose-Einstein condensates. This inherent correlation can explain some experi...
