Spin squeezing and concurrence

Abstract

We study the relations between spin squeezing and concurrence, and find that they are qualitatively equivalent for an ensemble of spin-1/2 particles with exchange symmetry and parity, if we adopt the spin squeezing criterion given by the recent work (G. Toth et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 250405 (2007)). This suggests that the spin squeezing has more intimate relations with pairwise entanglement. We exemplify the result by considering a superposition of two Dicke states.

Spin Squeezing and Entanglement of Many-Particle Spin-Half States

严冬, 王晓光, 吴令安

In many-particle spin-half systems with exchange symmetry, we find that the spin squeezing is related to two types of entanglement, the bipartite and the pairwise entanglement. A quantitative relationship is revealed for the spin squeezing parameter, the tangle, and the concurrence. We find that a class of states is spin squeezed if the pairwise entanglement is stronger than the bipartite entanglement.

Entanglement of Permutation Symmetric State

Duger Ulam-Orgikh, Masahiro Kitagawa

We consider an assembly of N indistinguishable two-level atoms, for which a concept of spin- squeezing and entanglement measures can be well defined. Permutation symmetry of such a state allows one to use an entanglement measure called the concurrence as the measures of pairwise and also N-partite entanglement. Dy using these measures, we show that negative pair-spin correlations of the state are quantum ones. It implies the quantumness of a spin-squeezing, which also pos­sesses pair-spin negative correlations. We also provide the entanglement measures of a macroscopic entangled state and an atomic Dicke state for super-radiant and spontaneous emissions.

Spin squeezing as a measure of entanglement in a two-qubit system

Azeddine Messikh, Z. Ficek, Mohamed Ridza Wahiddin

We show that the two definitions of spin squeezing extensively used in the literature [M. Kitagawa and M. Ueda, Phys. Rev. A 47, 5138 (1993) and D.J. Wineland et al., Phys. Rev. A 50, 67 (1994)] give different predictions of entanglement in the two-atom Dicke system. We analyze differences between the definitions and show that the spin squeezing parameter of Kitagawa and Ueda is a better measure of entanglement than the commonly used spectroscopic spin squeezing parameter. We illustrate this relation by examining different examples of a driven two-atom Dicke system in which spin squeezing and entanglement arise dynamically. We give an explanation of the source of the difference using the negativity criterion for entanglement.

Spin squeezing and pairwise entanglement for symmetric multiqubit states

Xiaoguang Wang, Barry C. Sanders

We show that spin squeezing implies pairwise entanglement for arbitrary symmetric multiqubit states. If the squeezing parameter is less than or equal to 1, we demonstrate a quantitative relation between the squeezing parameter and the concurrence for the even and odd states. We prove that the even states generated from the initial state with all qubits being spin down, via the one-axis twisting Hamiltonian, are spin squeezed if and only if they are pairwise entangled. For the states generated via the one-axis twisting Hamiltonian with an external transverse field for any number of qubits greater than 1 or via the two-axis countertwisting Hamiltonian for any even number of qubits, the numerical results suggest that such states are spin squeezed if and only if they are pairwise entangled.

Entanglement and extreme spin squeezing of unpolarized states

Giuseppe Vitagliano, Iagoba Apellaniz, Matthias Kleinmann +3 more

We present criteria to detect the depth of entanglement in macroscopic ensembles of spin- j particles using the variance and second moments of the collective spin components. The class of states detected goes beyond traditional spin-squeezed states by including Dicke states and other unpolarized states. The criteria derived are easy to evaluate numerically even for systems of very many particles and outperform past approaches, especially in practical situations where noise is present. We also derive analytic lower bounds based on the linearization of our criteria, which make it possible to define spin-squeezing parameters for Dicke states. In addition, we obtain spin squeezing parameters also from the condition derived in (Sørensen and Mølmer 2001 Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 4431 ). We also extend our results to systems with fluctuating number of particles.
