m-state correlation results. Probability that zero, one, or two atoms remain in the optical tweezer after a given collision time. a When atoms in |0〉 are expelled (immediately after a given collision time), the probability that both atoms were in |0〉 (and therefore ejected) decreases, while the probability that both atoms remain correspondingly increases. b, Expelling atoms solely from |−1〉 gives only single-atom loss events. c, Expelling atoms from both |−1〉 and |1〉 gives only pair loss, in strong contrast to the result in b. In all cases and throughout the collision time, the bias magnetic field was 8.5 Gauss. Error bars in all panels denote the standard error of the mean. The solid curves are fits to the data included to guide the eye. Similar data that demonstrates correlations between |−2〉 and |+2〉 is shown in Supplementary Fig. 1.
