Quantum Tunneling of Spinor Bose–Einstein Condensates in an Optical Lattice

We have studied tunneling of spinor Bose–Einstein condensate in an optical lattice. It is found that, when the system being prepared in a squeezed coherent state, there exist the quantum tunneling between lattices l and l+1, l and l−1, respectively. In particular, when the optical lattice is infinitely long and the spin excitations are in the long-wavelength limit, quantum tunneling disappear between lattices l and l+1, and that l and l−1, in this case the magnetic soliton appears.
