An Alice ring is related to the unusual topology of the monopole field and its decay. Here the authors demonstrate a topological monopole defect in the form of an Alice ring using gaseous Bose–Einstein condensates of 87Rb atoms.
Here, we present experimental evidence of an Alice ring resulting from the decay of a topological monopole defect in a dilute gaseous 87Rb Bose–Einstein condensate.
Doesn’t really sound like this was an actual experiment but maybe I just missed the part where they talk about bringing it into the real world.
This is why I’m confused, contextually I’ve only heard of monopoles discussed in the magnetic context. I don’t actually understand that sentence you quoted.

It was experimental evidence, not real world scientific data, aka a simulation not an actual life experiment or analysis of preexisting test data.
I think
This is all WAY over my head also.
