  For Bose-Einstein condensates in double wells, N-particle Rabi-like
oscillations often seem to be damped. Far from being a decoherence effect, the
apparent damping can indicate the emergence of quantum superpositions in the
many-particle quantum dynamics. However, in an experiment it would be difficult
to distinguish the apparent damping from decoherence effects. The present paper
suggests using controlled periodic shaking to quasi-instantaneously switch the
sign of an effective Hamiltonian, thus implementing an `echo' technique which
distinguishes quantum superpositions from statistical mixtures. The scheme for
the effective time-reversal is tested by numerically solving the time-dependent
N-particle Schrodinger equation.
