Abstract
We analyze the dynamics of a weakly open Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double-well potential. Close to the self-trapping bifurcation, numerical simulations of the weakly irreversible one-dimensional Gross Pitaevskii equation reveal chaotic behaviors. A two-mode model is used to derive amplitude equations describing the complex dynamic of the condensate.Keywords
