In quantum mechanics, macroscopic quantum self-trapping is a phenomenon occurring in the state of matter called the Bose–Einstein condensate between two superconductors linked by a non-conducting barrier known as a Josephson junction. While the tunneling of a particle through classically forbidden barriers can be described by the particle's wave function, this merely gives the probability of tunneling. Although various factors can increase or decrease the probability of tunneling, one can not be certain whether or not tunneling will occur. When two condensates are placed in a double potential well and the phase and population differences are such that the system is in equilibrium, the population difference will remain fixed. This is not to say that tunneling does not occur — rather, in the event that a particle tunnels through the barrier, another particle tunnels in the opposite direction. Because the identity of individual particles is lost in that case, no tunneling can be observed, and the system is considered to remain at rest. == External links == * (Coherent oscillations between two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein Condensates: Josephson effects, π-oscillations, and macroscopic quantum self trapping ) * (Josephson and persistent spin currents in Bose-Einstein condensates of magnons ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Macroscopic quantum self-trapping」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
