Abstract

We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional system composed of a bosonic background and one impurity in single- and double-well trapping geometries. In the limit of strong interactions, this system can be modeled by a spin chain where the exchange coefficients are determined by the geometry of the trap. We observe non-trivial dynamics when the repulsion between the impurity and the background is dominant. In this regime, the system exhibits oscillations that resemble the dynamics of a Josephson junction. Furthermore, the double-well geometry allows for an enhancement in the tunneling as compared to the single-well case.

Highlights

  • The experimental investigation of ultracold atomic systems has made possible the realization of several celebrated models in quantum mechanics and condensed matter

  • We have studied the static and dynamic properties of an impurity in the presence of a background of bosons in single-well and double-well geometries

  • The ground state spin densities are described by a combination of the spatial distributions in the limit of infinite repulsion and the eigenstates of a spin chain
