Recent atom-chip experiments have revealed that the surface roughness in the chip wires induces significant disorder in the magnetic potential, which may lead to the fragmentation of the condensate [1,2]. This raises the question how disorder influences the transport of Bose-Einstein condensates through mesoscopic waveguides. We investigate this problem by a time-dependent wave packet propagation approach as well as by calculating stationary scattering states in presence of a disordered potential. The scaling of the transmission with the atom-atom interaction strength as well as with the spatial length of the disorderd region is discussed. Furthermore we investigate how a weak disorder in the waveguide affects the resonant transport of a Bose-Einstein condensate through a symmetric double barrier potential [3].
