Quantum superpositions of Bose-Einstein condensates and periodic shaking — •Christoph Weiss — Institut für Physik, Universität Oldenburg, 26111 Oldenburg

Quantum superpositions of ultra-cold atoms are investigated for periodically shaken systems [1-3]. The focus of the talk will lie on how to distinguish quantum superpositions from statistical mixtures. All proposals would start with Bose-Einstein condensates.
