We experimentally investigate the dynamics of spin solitary waves (magnetic solitons) in a harmonically trapped, binary superfluid mixture. We measure the in situ density of each pseudospin component and their relative local phase via an interferometric technique we developed and as such, fully characterize the magnetic solitons while they undergo oscillatory motion in the trap. Magnetic solitons exhibit nondispersive, dissipationless longtime dynamics. By imprinting multiple magnetic solitons…

Core structure of static ferrodark solitons in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate
We develop an analytical description of static ferrodark solitons in the easy-plane phase of ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates. We find that the type-I ferrodark soliton has a single…

Magnetic Solitons in a Spin-1 Bose-Einstein Condensate.
TLDR
Here, using a "magnetic shadowing" technique, a new type of soliton in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate is observed, one that exists only when the underlying interactions are antiferromagnetic and which is deeply embedded within a full spin-1 quantum system.
Design and characterization of a compact magnetic shield for ultracold atomic gas experiments.
TLDR
The design, construction, and performance of a compact magnetic shield that facilitates a controlled, low-noise environment for experiments with ultracold atomic gases and a suppression of external dc magnetic fields by more than five orders of magnitude are reported.

TLDR
It is found that, above a critical twist, three-dimensional wave packets are unambiguously stabilized, with no minimum energy threshold, and are predicted to feature an unprecedented experimental robustness.
Spontaneous formation and relaxation of spin domains in antiferromagnetic spin-1 condensates
TLDR
It is demonstrated that spin domains form spontaneously, that is purely because of the antiferromagnetic interactions between the atoms and in the absence of external magnetic forces, after a phase separation transition.

TLDR
The existence of bright solitons in bulk superfluid is demonstrated by time-resolved shadowgraph imaging experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which show rapid evolution of the initially compressed liquid into brightsolitons.
