We present experiments revealing the competing effect of quantum fluctuations and of a coherent seed in the dynamics of a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate, and discuss the relevance of a mean-field description of our system. We first explore a near-equilibrium situation, where the mean-field equations can be linearized around a fixed point corresponding to all atoms in the same Zeeman state $m=0$. Preparing the system at this classical fixed point, we observe a reversible dynamics triggered by quantum fluctuations, which cannot be understood within a classical framework. We demonstrate that the classical description becomes accurate provided a coherent seed of a few atoms only is present in the other Zeeman states $m= pm 1$. In a second regime characterized by a strong non-linearity of the mean-field equations, we observe a collapse dynamics driven by quantum fluctuations. This behavior cannot be accounted for by a classical description and persists for a large range of initial states. We show that all our experimental results can be explained with a semi-classical description (truncated Wigner approximation), using stochastic classical variables to model the quantum noise.

We investigate the internal dynamics of the spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates subject to dissipation by solving the Lindblad master equation. It is shown that for the condensates without dissipation its dynamics always evolve along specific orbital in
the phase space of ($n_0$, $theta$) and display three kinds of dynamical properties including Josephson-like oscillation, self-trapping-like oscillation and running phase. In contrast, the condensates subject to dissipation will not evolve along the specific dynamical orbital. If component-1 and component-(-1) dissipate in different rates, the magnetization $m$ will not conserve and the system transits between different dynamical regions. The dynamical properties can be exhibited in the phase space of ($n_0$, $theta$, $m$).
We measure the mass, gap, and magnetic moment of a magnon in the ferromagnetic $F=1$ spinor Bose-Einstein condensate of $^{87}$Rb. We find an unusually heavy magnon mass of $1.038(2)_mathrm{stat}(8)_mathrm{sys}$ times the atomic mass, as determined b
y interfering standing and running coherent magnon waves within the dense and trapped condensed gas. This measurement is shifted significantly from theoretical estimates. The magnon energy gap of $htimes 2.5(1)_mathrm{stat}(2)_mathrm{sys};mathrm{Hz}$ and the effective magnetic moment of $-1.04(2)_mathrm{stat}(8),mu_textrm{bare}$ times the atomic magnetic moment are consistent with mean-field predictions. The nonzero energy gap arises from magnetic dipole-dipole interactions.
We investigate the early-time dynamics of a quasi-two-dimensional spin-1 antiferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate after a sudden quench from the easy-plane to the easy-axis polar phase. The post-quench dynamics shows a crossover behavior as the que
nch strength $tilde{q}$ is increased, where $tilde{q}$ is defined as the ratio of the initial excitation energy per particle to the characteristic spin interaction energy. For a weak quench of $tilde{q}<1$, long-wavelength spin excitations are dominantly generated, leading to the formation of irregular spin domains. With increasing $tilde{q}$, the length scale of the initial spin excitations decreases, and we demonstrate that the long-wavelength instability is strongly suppressed for high $tilde{q}>2$. The observed crossover behavior is found to be consistent with the Bogoliubov description of the dynamic instability of the initial spinor condensate.
We propose a pump scheme for quantum circulations, including counter-circulations for superposition states, of a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. Our scheme is efficient and can be implemented within current experimental technologies and setups. It r
emains valid for non-classical atomic states, such as pseudo-spin squeezed states and maximal entangled N-GHZ or NooN states. Moreover, it is capable of transforming several enhanced sensing protocols relying on reduced fluctuations from quantum correlation and entanglement of atomic internal states to enhanced measurement of spatial interference and rotation.
Understanding the ground state of many-body fluids is a central question of statistical physics. Usually for weakly interacting Bose gases, most particles occupy the same state, corresponding to a Bose--Einstein condensate. However, another scenario
may occur with the emergence of several, macroscopically populated single-particle states. The observation of such fragmented states remained elusive so far, due to their fragility to external perturbations. Here we produce a 3-fragment condensate for a spin 1 gas of $sim 100$ atoms, with anti-ferromagnetic interactions and vanishing collective spin. Using a spin-resolved detection approaching single-atom resolution, we show that the reconstructed many-body state is quasi-pure, while one-body observables correspond to a mixed state. Our results highlight the interplay between symmetry and interaction to develop entanglement in a quantum system.
