Observation of self-organized coherence in dissipative spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

Dissipation is a ubiquitous phenomenon, and it is important to understand its role in non-equilibrium dynamics. In the quantum systems, dissipation often reduce the coherence of the quantum states. But sometimes, it induces completely different effects than the decoherence. For example, strong dissipation can be used to suppress the loss [1] and control the quantum state [2] and quantum phase transition [3].
