An experimental atomic physicist who coauthored the realization of a single bosonic Josephson junction from two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates in a double-well potential. The experiment measured the density in each well and inferred the relative phase from interference fringes. It distinguished oscillatory transfer from interaction-induced macroscopic quantum self-trapping, where an initial population imbalance persists despite the coupling.[ref]
