Summary: This study investigates the dynamic behavior of Bose-Einstein condensates in an asymmetric double-well potential using two-mode theory and computer simulation. The change in energy difference between the potential wells leads to different dynamic behaviors of the condensate. The presence of nonlinear interaction affects the trapping and tunneling of the condensate, and the dynamic behavior is similar to that caused by energy difference in the case of an ideal condensate.

Summary: This study examines the properties of a spin-1 ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate with SOC and DDI in a double-well potential. It reveals that the nonrotating system sustains various exotic ground-state phases, while the rotating system exhibits unique dynamic behaviors and topological structure transitions.

Summary: The dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in a single-well potential are investigated using the mode-coupling method. It is found that symmetry plays a crucial role in the coupling between modes. A proper mode-coupling theory of BECs in a single-well potential should include at least four modes. The mode dynamics of non-ideal BECs with interaction exhibit rich behavior, with the combination of nonlinear coupling and initial condition leading to different regimes of mode dynamics.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the effect of Rosen-Zener tunneling on Bose-Einstein condensates in a triple-well potential using mean-field treatment. We first calculate the tunneling dynamics exactly in the linear case and observe that all atoms are trapped in the initially populated well. However, the introduction of nonlinear interaction significantly changes the tunneling dynamics, breaking the symmetry and leading to the emergence of self-trapping solutions within a fixed interval.

Summary: We investigate the mean-field energy spectrum and dynamics in a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential with non-Hermiticity from the nonreciprocal hopping, and show that the interplay of nonreciprocity and nonlinearity leads to exotic properties. Under the two-mode and mean-field approximations, the nonreciprocal generalization of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and Bloch equations of motion for this system are obtained. We analyze the PT phase diagram and the dynamical stability of fixed points. The reentrance of PT-symmetric phase and the reformation of stable fixed points with increasing the nonreciprocity parameter are found. Besides, we uncover a linear selftrapping effect induced by the nonreciprocity. In the nonlinear case, the self-trapping oscillation is enhanced by the nonreciprocity and then collapses in the PT-broken phase, and can finally be recovered in the reentrant PT-symmetric phase.

Summary: We investigate the effects of PT-symmetric and non-PT-symmetric potentials on spinor F = 1 Bose-Einstein condensates. By numerically analyzing the linear matrix non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we determine the parameter regions where the spectra are real for PT-symmetric Scarf-II and harmonic-Hermitian-Gaussian potentials. Despite broken PT phases, we observe stable solitons with various system parameters, and find that solitons with different shapes exhibit anti-interference in the exact nonlinear models. Adiabatic changes of parameters allow for the stable excitation of bright, single-hump, and triple-humps solitons, and we present stable numerical solitons as well. Theoretical support for related physical experiments and extensions to other nonlinear multi-wave models in PT-symmetric structures can be derived from this study.

Summary: We studied the emergence of universal scaling in the time-evolving momentum distribution of a harmonically trapped three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate, which was parametrically driven to a turbulent state. We found that the out-of-equilibrium dynamics post excitation can be described by a single function due to nearby nonthermal fixed points. The observed behavior connects the dynamics of a quantum turbulent state to several far-from-equilibrium phenomena.

Summary: The study investigates the cyclotron dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a quadruple-well potential with synthetic gauge fields. It was found that in the presence of atomic interaction, the system may exhibit self-trapping, depending on synthetic gauge fields and atomic interaction strength. The competition between synthetic gauge fields and atomic interaction leads to the generation of multiple discontinuous parameter windows for the transition to self-trapping.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of quantum fluctuations in a parity-time symmetric two-species Bose-Einstein condensate. It is found that quantum fluctuations can spontaneously break the PT symmetry, and the interplay effects between PT symmetry and interaction can be probed in experiments.

Summary: This study investigates the static and dynamical properties of one-dimensional quantum droplets under the influence of local potentials in the form of narrow wells and barriers. The dynamics of the droplets are described by the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, including meanfield and beyond-mean-field terms. Stable solutions for localized states pinned to the well are found, and approximations for the well and the collision of the droplet with the barrier are developed. Simulations analyze the collisions of droplets with the wells and barriers, identifying outcomes such as fission and rebound effects.

Summary: In this paper, quantization of a weakly nonideal Bose gas at zero temperature is performed along the lines of the well-known Bogolyubov approach. By introducing nonoscillation modes and calculating nonlinear corrections, the analysis successfully recovers canonical commutation relations and solves the issue of nonconserved particle number at least in the case of free quasi-particles.

Summary: Studying worked examples has been proven through extensive research to be an effective method for learning to solve well-structured problems in physics and mathematics. This paper proposes a new four-step teaching approach that includes writing explanations, finding and correcting errors. This method can be implemented in courses where homework performance contributes to grading, and it is illustrated in the context of Lagrangian mechanics.

Summary: This paper provides two analog models and corresponding teaching concepts for teaching quantum physics. The first model focuses on teaching the polarization of single photons and deduction of reasoning tools for elementary comprehension of quantum theory, while the second model investigates analog Hardy experiments as an alternative to Bell's theorem. Working with physical models to compare classical and quantum perspectives has proven helpful for novice learners to grasp the abstract nature of quantum experiments.
