We show this breaking of the left-right tunneling symmetry for Bose-Einstein condensates in 1D, modelled by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) We conclude by suggesting applications of the phenomena to design atomtronic diodes, synthetic gauge fields, Maxwell's demons, and black-hole analogues.

• Abstract: In his celebrated textbook, \textit{Quantum Mechanics: Nonrelativistic Theory}, Landau argued that, for single particle systems in 1D, tunneling probability remains the same for a particle incident from the left or the right of a barrier. This left-right symmetry of tunneling probability holds regardless of the shape of the potential barrier. However, there are a variety of known cases that break this symmetry, e.g. when observing composite particles. We computationally (and analytically, in the simplest case) show this breaking of the left-right tunneling symmetry for Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in 1D, modelled by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). By varying $g$, the parameter of inter-particle interaction in the BEC, we demonstrate that the transition from symmetric ($g=0$) to asymmetric tunneling is a threshold phenomenon. Our computations employ experimentally feasible parameters such that these results may be experimentally demonstrated in the near future. We conclude by suggesting applications of the phenomena to design atomtronic diodes, synthetic gauge fields, Maxwell's demons, and black-hole analogues.

  We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. We can manipulate the system's symmetry, inducing either discrete $Z$ or continuous U(1) symmetry. The framework provides an ideal platform for experimentally controlling symmetries and investigating associated physical phenomena.

We show a quantum simulator system that consists of a continuously driven Kerr parametric oscillator with a third order non-linearity that can be operated in the quantum regime to create a fully asymmetric double-well. Our work is a first step for the development of analog molecule simulators of proton transfer reactions based on quantum superconducting circuits.
