Nonlocal quantum superposition states via scattering of a bright quantum matter wave soliton — •Bettina Gertjerenken and Christoph Weiss — Institute of Physics, Carl von Ossietzky University, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany

Scattering of a quantum matter wave soliton on a barrier in a one-dimensional geometry can lead to mesoscopic quantum superposition states [1]. On the two-particle level the mathematically justified effective potential approach [1] can be numerically compared with the exact quantum dynamics and an excellent agreement for an experimentally realistic approximately Gaussian potential has already been shown [2]. Further investigations of the effective potential approach will be presented.
