In this work, we study the nonlinear Josephson dynamics of Fermi superfluids in the crossover from Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a double-well potential. Under a two-mode approximation, we derive a full two-mode (fTM) model including all interaction energy terms. By solving the fTM model numerically, we study the zero-phase and [Formula: see text]-phase modes of Josephson oscillations in the BCS–BEC crossover. We find that in the strongly interacting regime the cross interaction terms not appearing in the two-mode model cannot be easily ignored. The cross interactions can alter the behaviors of Josephson dynamics substantially, and interestingly the alterations for the zero-phase and [Formula: see text]-phase modes are just opposite.

In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear localized eigenmodes for a Bose–Einstein condensate in a double-well potential. For a specific choice of the potential parameters, certain exact analytical solutions for nonlinear localized eigenmodes are presented. By applying the linear stability analysis, the stability regions of these exact nonlinear localized eigenmodes are obtained numerically. It is shown that under certain conditions, the unstable nonlinear localized modes display the breathing behavior characterized by repeated appearance of symmetric and asymmetric distributions in the two potentials. This breathing behavior is shown to arise from the symmetry breaking for these nonlinear localized eigenmodes.
