Extended Data Fig. 1: Spin distributions for all evolution times.

From: Observation of universal dynamics in a spinor Bose gas far from equilibrium

Extended Data Fig. 1

a, The panels show the distributions of the transversal spin, Fx, measured at different evolution times as indicated. Initially, we find a narrow Gaussian distribution corresponding to the prepared coherent spin state. The excitations developing in the transversal spin lead to a double-peaked distribution within the interval of 2 s to 10 s. For long evolution times, t > 12 s, the distribution resembles a Gaussian, which is much broader than the initial distribution. b, The spin length and its root-mean-square fluctuation as a function of evolution time are extracted by a fit (see Methods). We find a slow decay of the spin length and nearly constant root-mean-square fluctuations in the scaling regime.
