Abstract

Ultracold atoms offer a controlled platform for investigating quantum magnetism; however, stepping into integer-spin territory is not trivial. Now an experimental technique to measure the relative interaction strength amongst hyperfine states is demonstrated, paving the way to study quantum phase transitions.
