Abstract

This paper reports the observation of quantum phase transition to a ferromagnetic state in a gaseous spinor Bose–Einstein condensate. The formation of ferromagnetic domains and domain walls is observed, and spin vortices (containing non-zero spin current but no net mass current) detected in situ.
