Abstract
We
discuss the symmetry properties of a system of two (identical) interacting bosonic
wells occupied by N bosons based on the Schwingerrealization of spins of the
two-well Hamiltonian H, and show how such symmetries influence the energy spectrum
form. We formulate the corresponding eigenvalue equation in a recursive N-dependent
form that makes evident the mechanism causing the occurrence of the spectrum
level doublets. Such doublets allows us to recover, in the classical limit,
the ymmetry-breaking effect that characterizes the system classically. Special
states solving the two-well Schroedinger problem are also presented which seems
to reproduce at the quantum level the classical behavior of the population imbalance
variable.
