The validity of the Landau-Zener model for output coupling of Bose condensates

Abstract

We investigate the validity of the Landau-Zener model in describing the output coupling of Bose condensates from magnetic traps by a chirped radiofrequency field. The predictions of the model are compared with the numerical solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We find a dependence on the chirp direction, and also quantify the role of gravitation.
