Theoretical studies of dilute Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential

In this Thesis we apply the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) to describe properties of a dilute, near zero temperature Bose gas for various confining geometries. We start by reviewing some basic information about the density, the chemical potential and elementary excitations of a dilute atomic conden...
