Two phases: this graph shows the momentum distribution of the shaken quantum gas during the phase transition. The central peak on the left corresponds the initial Mott insulator while the two peaks on the right indicate the distinct staggered order of the superfluid phase. Shown upper right is a schematic of the ball-and-hillside representation of false vacuum decay. (Courtesy: University of Cambridge)
Physicists could soon be able to do simulations of the quantum phase transition that is believed to
