The new system now demonstrated will soon allow further experiments on phase transitions in classical systems and in the quantum universe as well as tests in the field of nonlinear physics. The experimental challenge for the researchers consisted in being able to control a complex multi-particle system and to induce an intentional change in the external conditions to obtain the symmetry breaking. They were able to show for the first time how symmetry breaking can be generated in a controlled manner and how the occurrence of defects can then be observed. Realizing these so-called "topographical defects" within a well-controlled system opens up new possibilities when it comes to investigating quantum phase transitions and looking in detail into the non-equilibrium dynamics of complex systems. Topological defects are errors in the spatial structure which are caused by the breaking of the symmetry when particles of a system cannot communicate with each other. They form during a phase transition and present themselves as non-matching areas. #OrganicComputersInHyperspace #Condensate #Interconnected #WebofLife #SystemsScience
