Quantum dot dynamics in a Bose-Einstein condensate

This thesis investigates the dynamics of an atomic quantum dot (AQD) coupled to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) via particle exchange and interactions. This is motivated by the possibility of using such a system as a non-destructive probe of the BEC. A review of the physics of a BEC and relevant im...
