Description:
Author(s): J. Jiang, L. Zhao, S.-T. Wang, Z. Chen, T. Tang, L.-M. Duan, and Y. Liu We observe evidence of first-order superfluid-to-Mott-insulator quantum phase transitions in a lattice-confined antiferromagnetic spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. The observed signatures include the hysteresis effect, significant heatings across the phase transitions, and changes in spin populations… [Phys. Rev. A 93, 063607] Published Tue Jun 07, 2016
