1st footage of quantum knots unraveling in BEC medium captured

The team that tied the first "quantum knots" has now managed to capture the first-ever decay of knots. At first, the knot remains stable, while several "ferromagnetic islands" develop in the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) medium. The ferromagnetic islands then migrate to the edges of the BEC following which an atomic spin vortex is formed between the BEC's two magnetic regions.
