Spin symmetry breaking and entropy production during the evolution of spinor Bose-Einstein condensate driven by coherent atom beam

The spinor condensate with spin states degenerated in the ground spin-space provides a unique platform for investigating the edge of quantum mechanics and statistical physics. We study the evolution of the condensate under the scattering of a coherent atom beam. The time-dependent magnetization, ent...
