Ultra cold polar bosons in a disordered lattice potential, described by the extended Bose-Hubbard model, display a rich phase diagram. In the case of uniform random disorder one finds two insulating quantum phases-the ...

We present a detailed analysis of the Landau-Zener problem for an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a time-varying double-well trap, especially focusing on the relation between the full many-particle problem and the ...
