For nearly a century, physicists have explained the peculiarities of their quantum properties — such as wave - particle duality and indeterminism — by invoking an entity called the wave function, which exists in a superposition of all possible states at once right up until someone observes it, at which point it is said to «collapse» into a single state.

The assaults that this most fundamental theory of reality makes on our intuition are legion: particles that exist as probabilistic wave functions in «superpositions» of multiple states or places, or at least seem to as long you don't look at them; «entangled» particles that influence each other over vast distances of space when you measure one of them.
Within the condensate, the spins produced something analogous to a magnetic field: The condensate behaved as if it were a charged particle being pushed around by a magnetic field when in reality no such magnetic field existed.
