Rosen–Zener transition of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

Rosen–Zener transitions of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates in a nonlinear two-level system are studied. The intensities of interspecies interactions which can be adjusted by Feshbach resonance can affect the quantum transition dramatically. The percentage of both components also has an important effect on the quantum transition probabilities. It is also found that the quantum transition can be completely blocked by either strong interspecies interactions or large percentage of the component. In the sudden limit, the approximated transition probabilities for each component are obtained analytically. In the adiabatic limit, the equivalent classical Hamiltonian is obtained. The fixed points and the eigenenergy level structures are also obtained. Finally, for some special cases, the period of the rectangular oscillation as a function of the percentage of the number density and the interspecies interaction is obtained analytically. All the analytical results are compared with numerical simulations and good agreement is obtained.
