Abstract

Collisions lead to the collapse and revival of the interference fringes between two atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. We study the collapses and revivals of the relative phase between the condensates for two different initial states. One state invokes Bose-broken symmetry allowing us to write the wavefunction as a superposition of total number (of both condensates) states whereas the other does not.
