Abstract
Ultracold neutral atoms can be trapped in spatially inhomogeneous magnetic fields. In this paper, we present a theoretical model and demonstrate by using Landau-Zener tool that if the magnetic resonant transition region is very narrow, "potential barriers" appear and quantum reflection of such ultracold atoms can be observed in this region.
