TOPICAL REVIEW

We review the experimental realization of a single bosonic Josephson junction for ultracold gases, which was made possible by the generation of a precisely controllable double-well potential for Bose–Einstein condensates. We will focus on the comparison of the experimentally obtained data with the predictions of a many-body two-mode model and a mean-field description and show that the observed static, thermal and dynamical properties can be described in terms of classical equations.
