A Model for Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling of Bose-Einstein Condensate with Attractive Interaction

Based on the numerical wave function solutions of neutral atoms with attractive interaction in a harmonic trap,we propose an exactly solvable model for macroscopic quantum tunneling of a Bose condensate with attractive interaction.We calculate the rate of macroscopic quantum tunneling from a metastable condensate state to the collapse state and analyze the stability of the attractive Bose-Einstein condensation.
