Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in a one-dimensional correlated disorder potential — •Juan Pablo Ramírez Valdes1, Andreas Buchleitner1,2, and Thomas Wellens1 — 1Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Herman-Herder-Str. 3, 79104 Freiburg, Germany — 2Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, Albertstr. 19, 79104 Freiburg
We study the expansion of an initially confined one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate in a weak random potential with finite correlation length. At long times, the expansion comes to a halt due to destructive interferences leading to Anderson Localization [1]. We develop an improved analytical description of the asymptotic disorder-averaged condensate density, which we compare to the results of numerical simulations based on a finite-element discrete variable representation. In particular, we thereby analyze the influence of inter-atomic interactions on the localization properties.
