Here we consider coupling two such Bose condensates, and suggest the existence of a joint condensate wavefunction, which is in general a superposition of all products of the bases condensate wavefunctions of the two condensates. The corresponding many-body state is a product of such superposed wavefunctions, with appropriate symmetrization. These states may be potentially useful for quantum computation. There may be robustness and stability due to macroscopic occupation of a same single particle state. The nonlinearity of the condensate wavefunction due to particle-particle interaction may be utilized to realize nonlinear quantum computation, which was suggested to be capable of solving NP-complete problems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v8", "updated": "2002-06-27T10:02:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bose-einstein condensates", "bose condensate", "entanglement", "joint condensate wavefunction", "bases condensate wavefunctions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
