Phase Dissipation of an Open Two-Mode Bose–Einstein Condensate

We study the dynamics of a two-mode Bose–Hubbard model with phase dissipation, based on the master equation. An analytical solution is presented with nonzero asymmetry and phase noise. The effects of asymmetry and phase noise play a contrasting role in the dynamics. The asymmetry makes the oscillation fast, while phase noise enlarges the period. The conditions for the cases of fast decay and oscillation are presented. As a possible application, the dynamical evolution of the population for cold atomic gases with synthetic gauge interaction, which can be understood as two-mode dynamics in momentum space, is predicted.
