In this paper, we exploit two-mode model to investigate the influence of quantum fluctuation on the self-trapping of the Bose-Einstein Condensate(BEC). We found that, even for the finite number of particles, the transition to self-trapping is still observed.In particular, because of the quantum fluctuation due to the finite number of particles, the critical phenomenon becomes fuzzily: the smaller the number of particles is, the more obviously fuzzily the critical phenomenon becomes. Quantum entanglement entropy is then introduced to depict the critical behavior near the transition point.
