Exploring out-of-equilibrium quantum magnetism and thermalization in a spin-3 many-body dipolar lattice system

We study the spin dynamics and approach towards local thermal equilibrium of a macroscopic ensemble of S = 3 chromium atoms pinned in a three dimensional optical lattice and prepared in a pure coherent spin state, under the effect of magnetic dipole–dipole interactions.

Probing spin dynamics from the Mott insulating to the superfluid regime in a dipolar lattice gas

We analyze the spin dynamics of an out-of-equilibrium large spin dipolar atomic Bose gas in an optical lattice. We observe a smooth crossover from a complex oscillatory behavior to an exponential behavior throughout the Mott-to-superfluid transition.
