We observe the condensation of magnon excitations within an $F=1$ $^{87}$Rb spinor Bose-Einstein condensed gas. Magnons are pumped into a longitudinally spin-polarized gas, allowed to equilibrate to a non-degenerate distribution, and then…

Pattern formation is ubiquitous in nature from morphogenesis and cloud formation to galaxy filamentation. More often than not, patterns arise in a medium driven far from equilibrium due to the interplay of dynamical instability and…
Magnetically-trapped atoms in Bose-Einstein condensates are spin polarized. Since the magnetic field is inhomogeneous, the atoms aquire Berry phases of the Aharonov-Bohm type during adiabatic motion. In the presence of an eletric field…
