Observing the emergence of a quantum phase transition shell by shell

Many-body physics describes phenomena that cannot be understood by looking only at the constituents of a system. Striking examples are broken symmetry, phase transitions and collective excitations. To understand how such collective behaviour emerges as a system is gradually assembled from individual...

Description
Summary:Many-body physics describes phenomena that cannot be understood by looking only at the constituents of a system. Striking examples are broken symmetry, phase transitions and collective excitations. To understand how such collective behaviour emerges as a system is gradually assembled from individual particles has been a goal in atomic, nuclear and solid-state physics for decades. Here we observe the few-body precursor of a quantum phase transition from a normal to a superfluid phase.
