An electron subject to a periodic potential and a constant electric field exhibit oscillatory dynamics, known as Bloch oscillations. Here, the authors demonstrate a magnetic analogue of Bloch oscillations in a ferromagnetic near-Ising chain, where magnetic excitations oscillate in response to a magnetic field.
