Quantum tunneling of BEC’s in a double well potential has been explored in the realm of entanglement generation and Josephson tunneling. Traditional approaches for creating a double well mostly involved inserting barriers in a single well leading to the creation of a double-well system. We accelerate atoms towards a barrier in a double-well system, inducing momentum driven tunneling and envision testing our technique with asymmetric barriers. This is done in optical dipole traps, incorporating acousto-optical deflectors, thereby allowing versatile control over the trapping potentials with respect to position and trap depth. The sample used is a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate, prepared in a magnetically insensitive state, with a sample size of up to 300×103 atoms. We report on preliminary implementation prospects of tunneling to study the preferential tunneling direction of BEC’s and quantum correlations stemming from the nonlinear dynamics of atomic interactions.
