We investigate the properties of a three-dimensional (3D) dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in a double-well potential (DWP). Symmetry breaking and tunneling dynamics phenomena are demonstrated for 164Dy atoms in the 3D DWP using an effective two-mode model. The results show that the symmetry properties of the dynamics are affected markedly by the long-range nature and anisotropy of the dipolar interaction and the isotropic contact interaction.

In this work, we study the nonlinear Josephson dynamics of Fermi superfluids in the crossover from Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a double-well potential. Under a two-mode approximation, we derive a full two-mode (fTM) model including all interaction energy terms. By solving the fTM model numerically, we study the zero-phase and [Formula: see text]-phase modes of Josephson oscillations in the BCS–BEC crossover. We find that in the strongly interacting regime the cross interaction terms not appearing in the two-mode model cannot be easily ignored. The cross interactions can alter the behaviors of Josephson dynamics substantially, and interestingly the alterations for the zero-phase and [Formula: see text]-phase modes are just opposite.
