* ABSTRACT | |||||||
We investigate whether the many-body states of bosons in a generalized two-mode model with localized inhomogeneous single-particle orbitals and anisotropic long-range interactions are coherent (single condensate) or fragmented condensate states. It is demonstrated that ground- state fragmentation can take place for a repulsive Bose gas in a single trap, counter to expectations from the homogeneous continuum. It is also shown that for a suciently rapid dynamical quantum phase transition from the coherent to the fragmented side, the ground-state fragmentation can be suppressed, and a pair-condensate of repulsive bosons emerges. |
