The behaviour of microscopic quantum magnets has long been a subject taught in lectures in theoretical physics. However, investigating the dynamics of systems that are far out of equilibrium and watching them 'live' has been difficult so far. Now, researchers have accomplished precisely this, using a quantum gas microscope.
