摘要
The decay and tunnelling dynamics of repulsive few-boson systems through a one-dimensional potential barrier is studied from first principles. To this end, we solve the numerically exact time-dependent few-boson Schrodinger equation by utilizing the successful multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree method. Benchmark results for a wide range of interactions are reported. Deviations from the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii approach are identified. Counterintuitively, the mean-field approach can overestimate the tunnelling times even for relatively weakly-interacting few-boson systems. Implications are discussed.
