A single fermion in a Bose Josephson Junction — •Maximilian Rinck and Christoph Bruder — Deptartement Physik der Universität Basel, Klingelbergstr. 82, 4056 Basel, Schweiz
We consider the tunneling properties of a single fermionic impurity immersed in a Bose--Einstein condensate in a double-well potential. For strong boson--fermion interaction, we show the existence of a tunnel resonance where a large number of bosons and the fermion tunnel simultaneously. We give analytical expressions for the lineshape of the resonance using degenerate Brillouin--Wigner theory. We finally compute the time-dependent dynamics of the mixture. Using the fermionic tunnel resonances as beam splitter for wave-functions, we construct a Mach--Zehnder interferometer that allows complete population transfer from one well to the other by tilting the double-well potential and only taking into account the fermion's tunnel properties.
