Distinguishing dipolar and octupolar quantum spin ices using contrasting magnetostriction signatures

Recently there have been a number of experiments on Ce_{2}Zr_{2}O_{7} and Ce_{2}Sn_{2}O_{7}, suggesting that these materials host a three-dimensional quantum spin liquid with emergent photons and fractionalized spinon excitations. However, the interpretation of the data to determine the precise natu...
