| contents | We investigate the stability and dynamics of the orbital angular momentum modes of a repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in two tunnel-coupled rings in a stack configuration. Within mean-field theory, we derive a two-state model for the system in the case in which we populate equally both rings with a single orbital angular momentum mode and include small perturbations in other modes. Analyzing the fixed point solutions of the model and the associated classical Hamiltonian, we characterize the destabilization of the stationary states and the subsequent dynamics. By populating a single orbital angular momentum mode with an arbitrary population imbalance between the rings, we derive analytically the boundary between the regimes of Josephson oscillations and macroscopic quantum self-trapping and study numerically the stability of these solutions. |
