A bosonic multi-state two-well model

Abstract: Inspired by the increasing possibility of experimental control in ultracold atomic physics, we introduce a new Lax operator and use it to construct and solve models with two wells and two on-well states together with its generalization for n on-well states. The models are solved by the algebraic Bethe ansatz method and can be viewed as describing two Bose-Einstein condensates allowing for an exchange interaction through Josephson tunnelling.
