Movie
Below we show the images (in steps of 1 ms) of the two clouds
when the double-well trap is ramped to single-well. The atomic
clouds are the red dots approaching from the sides. The
temperature of each cloud is approximately 200 nK. When they
collide a halo of scattered particles is clearly visible. After
the collision the clouds (and the halos) keep on oscillating in
the
harmonic well
