We explore numerically the impact of dimensionality on the quantum dynamics of interacting bosons tunneling in a three dimensional double well including particle correlations. Such kind of numerical simulations are very challenging, due to (i) different participating length scales in modeling the short-range interactions in three dimensional traps and (ii) the exponential scaling of complexity with the number of atoms. Also a sketch of our numerical method is given, which is based on the recently developed ab-initio Multi-Layer Multi-Configurational Time- Dependent Hartee method for Bosons (ML-MCTDHB) [J. Chem. Phys. 139, 134103 (2013)], and which uses the fact that in elongated traps strong spatial correlations are suppressed due to the energy scales in the longitudinal and transversal direction. Our implementation has got a linear scaling in the number of grid points in contrast to other methods, using a product grid, with cubic scaling [arXiv:1608.04710].
