Abstract
We perform collective spin measurements to study the buildup of two-body correlations between ≈10^{4} spin s=3 chromium atoms pinned in a 3D optical lattice. The spins interact via long range and anisotropic dipolar interactions. From the fluctuations of total magnetization, measured at the standard quantum limit, we estimate the dynamical growth of the connected pairwise correlations associated with magnetization. The quantum nature of the correlations is assessed by comparisons with analytical short- and long-time expansions and numerical simulations. Our Letter shows that measuring fluctuations of spin populations for s>1/2 spins provides new ways to characterize correlations in quantum many-body systems.
