N2 - The out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics of a Bose gas trapped in an asymmetric double well and interacting with a finite-range interaction has been studied in real space by solving the time-dependent many-body Schrödinger equation numerically accurately using the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method for bosons (MCTDHB). We have focused on the weakly interacting limit where the system is essentially condensed. We have examined the impact of the range of the interaction on the dynamics of the system, both at the mean-field and many-body levels. Explicitly, we have studied the maximal and the minimal values of the many-body position variance in each cycle of oscillation, and the overall pace of its growth. We find that the range of the interaction affects the dynamics of the system differently for the right well and the left well. We have also examined the infinite-particle limit and find that even there, the impact of the range of the interaction can only be described by a many-body theory such as MCTDHB.
