Abstract
We carry out a detailed examination of the ground-state properties of a few-boson system in a one-dimensional hard-wall potential with a $\ensuremath{\delta}$ split in the center. In the Tonks-Girardeau limit with infinite repulsion between particles, we use the Bose-Fermi mapping to construct the exact $N$-particle ground-state wave function, which allows us to study the correlation properties accurately. For the general case with finite interparticle interaction, the exact diagonalization method is exploited to study the ground-state density distribution, occupation number distribution, and momentum distribution for variable interaction strengths and barrier heights. The secondary peaks in the momentum distribution reveal the interference between particles on the two sides of the split, which is more prominent for large barrier strength and small interaction strength.
