Abstract

Abstract Spin squeezing, a form of many-body entanglement, is a crucial resource in quantum metrology and information processing. While experimentally viable protocols for generating stable spin squeezing have been proposed in quantum optics setups, there is growing interest in quantum hybrid solid-state systems as alternative platforms for both engineering and exploring many-body quantum phenomena. In this work, we propose a scheme to generate long-lived spin squeezing in an ensemble of solid-state qubits interacting with electromagnetic noise emitted by a squeezed solid-state bath. We identify the conditions under which quantum correlations within the bath can be transferred to the qubit array, driving it into an entangled state independently of its initial configuration. To assess the experimental feasibility of our approach, we analyze the dynamics of an array of solid-state spin defects coupled to a common ferromagnetic bath, which is driven into a non-equilibrium squeezed state through its interaction with a surface acoustic wave mode. Our results demonstrate that the ensemble can exhibit steady-state spin squeezing under suitable conditions, opening new pathways for the generation of robust many-body entanglement in solid-state spin ensembles.

A hybrid-systems approach to spin squeezing using a highly dissipative ancillary system

Shane Dooley, Emi Yukawa, Yuichiro Matsuzaki +3 more

Squeezed states of spin systems are an important entangled resource for quantum technologies, particularly quantum metrology and sensing. Here we consider the generation of spin squeezed states by interacting the spins with a dissipative ancillary system. We show that spin squeezing can be generated in this model by two different mechanisms: one-axis twisting (OAT) and driven collective relaxation (DCR). We can interpolate between the two mechanisms by simply adjusting the detuning between the dissipative ancillary system and the spin system. Interestingly, we find that for both mechanisms, ancillary system dissipation need not be considered an imperfection in our model, but plays a positive role in spin squeezing. To assess the feasibility of spin squeezing we consider two different implementations with superconducting circuits. We conclude that it is experimentally feasible to generate a squeezed state of hundreds of spins either by OAT or by DCR.

Dissipation-assisted preparation of steady spin-squeezed states of SiV centers

Jia‐Qiang Chen, Yi‐Fan Qiao, Xing‐Liang Dong +2 more

We propose an efficient scheme for generating spin-squeezed states at steady state in a spin-mechanical hybrid system, where an ensemble of SiV centers is coupled to a strongly damped nanomechanical resonator. We show that there exists a collective steady state in the system, which is exactly formed by the collective spin states plus the zero excitation state of the mechanical mode. The generation of the steady spin-squeezed state is based on a dissipative quantum dynamical process in which the mechanical dissipation plays a positive role but without destroying the target state. We demonstrate that the spin-squeezed steady state can be deterministically prepared via dissipative means, with the optimal spin squeezing up to $4/N$ in the ideal case, where $N$ is the number of spins. This work provides a promising platform for quantum information processing and quantum metrology.

Dissipation-assisted generation of steady-state single-mode squeezing of collective excitations in a solid-state spin ensemble

Sheng-li Ma, Fuli Li, Aiping Fang +2 more

A hybrid device consisting of a nitrogen-vacancy-center ensemble $($NVE$)$ in diamond magnetically coupled to a superconducting flux qubit is investigated. The flux qubit is suitably driven by a bichromatic microwave field to induce sidebands, which leads to the desired qubit-NVE coupling. The distinct feature of the present scheme is that the qubit decay as a resource is utilized to steer the stationary state of the NVE into a single-mode squeezed vacuum state via a dissipative repumping process.

Dynamics of quantum coherence, entanglement, and steering in a hybrid V-type atomic system coupled to a squeezed cavity field

Ahmed A. Zahia, Eied Mahmoud Khalil, S. Al‐Awfi

Abstract Quantum technologies critically rely on maintaining coherence and controllable correlations in open systems, yet these resources are fragile under dissipation and noise. To address this challenge, we investigate a hybrid platform composed of two identical three-level atoms in a V-type configuration coupled to a single-mode cavity field prepared in a squeezed coherent state. Using the Lindblad master equation, we numerically simulate the system dynamics, allowing a rigorous treatment of coherent atom–field interactions, interatomic couplings, and cavity losses. Our analysis reveals that squeezing introduces nonclassical correlations that enhance field coherence and support the generation of entanglement under specific regimes. Strong interatomic coupling stabilizes entanglement, while squeezing mitigates decoherence-induced losses. Conversely, large photon amplitudes and cavity dissipation degrade both coherence and bipartite correlations. Quantum steering emerges as the most fragile correlation, yet its persistence can be moderately extended through squeezing. These results identify squeezing and interatomic interactions as complementary resources for optimizing coherence, entanglement, and steering, offering practical strategies for robust quantum communication, information processing, and engineered nonclassical states.

Simulating the generation of spin squeezing in a Rydberg atomic array for quantum metrology via a dissipative discrete truncated Wigner approximation

Jingya Wang, Zhongxiao Xu, Donghao Li

An atomic ensemble with many-body entanglement is desirable for precision measurement. As a type of such quantum state, the spin squeezed state has been pursued in both cold and warm atoms for applications of a quantum-enhanced atomic clock, interferometer, and magnetometer. Here, we report the numerical simulation of many-body dynamics in a Rydberg atomic array with dipole–dipole interaction, and evaluate the generation of spin squeezing. The method builds on the dissipative discrete truncated Wigner approximation, which combines the mean-field dynamics of a spin ensemble with Monte Carlo sampling. By taking into account experimental imperfections such as spin decoherence, we apply this approach to the dynamics in both strontium and rubidium Rydberg atomic arrays with the current available scale. This offers the possibility to accurately simulate the many-body dynamics of interacting quantum systems in achievable platforms for application of quantum simulation and quantum metrology.

Dissipative generation of spin squeezing in the resolved vacuum Rabi splitting limit

Edwin Chaparro, Eric Yilun Song, Diego Barberena +3 more

Harnessing dissipation in the presence of strong symmetries has recently emerged as a promising route for generating entanglement in atomic clocks. However, previous proposals relied on regimes where cavity photons can be adiabatically eliminated, significantly limiting their applicability to experimentally relevant cavity-QED regimes that lie in or near the resolved vacuum Rabi splitting regime. Here we show that symmetry-protected dissipative spin squeezing can be realized even when cavity photons actively participate in the dynamics, extending the experimental relevance of the protocol. We study a three-level ensemble of $^{87}\mathrm{Sr}$ atoms coupled to an optical cavity in the resolved vacuum Rabi splitting regime and demonstrate that, with smooth ramps of the drive amplitude and detunings, the driven-dissipative dynamics enters a stable low-photon regime in which nonadiabatic cavity excitations and sector-resolving photon leakage can be controlled. Within this low-photon operating window, sector-resolving photon leakage is suppressed and the sector-dependent geometric phase realizes effective one-axis twisting. At the end of the protocol the entanglement can also be efficiently transferred directly onto the long-lived clock states by turning the drive off. For experimentally realistic parameters, we theoretically show that more than $25\,\mathrm{dB}$ of squeezing can be generated for $10^5$ atoms, closely saturating the ideal one-axis twisting scaling $ξ_{\min}^2 \propto N^{-2/3}$. At fixed cooperativity, the optimized squeezing remains broadly comparable to the unresolved-regime implementation, while the resolved-regime implementation reaches comparable squeezing on a substantially shorter physical timescale. These results establish symmetry-protected dissipative dynamics as a practical route to beyond the standard-quantum-limit performance in optical-clock platforms.
