- Abstract: Nonlinear spin systems exhibit rich and exotic dynamical phenomena, offering promising applications ranging from spin masers and time crystals to precision measurement. Recent theoretical work [T. Wang et al., Commun. Phys. 8, 41 (2025)] predicted intriguing nonlinear dynamical phases arising from inhomogeneous magnetic fields and feedback interactions. However, experimental exploration of these predictions remains lacking. Here, we report the observation of nonlinear spin dynamics in dual-bias magnetic fields with dual-cell alkali-metal atomic gases and present three representative stable dynamical behaviors of limit cycles, quasi-periodic orbits, and chaos. Additionally, we probe the nonlinear phase transitions between these phases by varying the feedback gain and the difference of dual-bias magnetic fields. Furthermore, we demonstrate the robustness of the limit cycle and quasi-periodic orbit against the noise of magnetic fields. Our findings establish a versatile platform for exploring complex spin dynamics and open new avenues for the realization of multimode spin masers, time crystals and quasi-crystals, and high-precision magnetometers.

Compared with previous spin masers, this setup exhibits new attractors such as quasi-periodic orbits and chaos in addition to the usual limit cycles and the trivial no signal fixed point.
Here, to shed light on the nature of the bifurcations, we turn to a closely related system and systematically study the various bifurcations therein along different routes in parameter space.
