This thesis addresses the intriguing topic of the quantum tunnelling of many-body systems such as Bose-Einstein condensates. Despite the enormous amount of work on the tunneling of a single particle through a barrier, we know very little abouthow a system made of several or of many particles tunnels through a barrier to open space.The presentwork usesnumerically exact solutions of the time-dependent many-boson Schrodinger equation to explore the rich physics of the tunneling to open space process in ultracold bosonic particles that are initially prepared as a Bose-Einstein condensate and...

The present work uses numerically exact solutions of the time-dependent many-boson Schrodinger equation to explore the rich physics of the tunneling to open space process in ultracold bosonic particles that are initially prepared as a Bose-Einstein condensate and subsequently allowed to tunnel through a barrier to open space.
