Abstract
We investigate the generation of atomic-squeezed states due to the dynamical Casimir effect in a lossless optomechanical cavity containing a Bose-Einstein Condensate. In particular, we study the combined effect of dynamical Casimir effect and nonlinear atomic interaction on spin-squeezing for the three special cases- initial cavity field in coherent state, squeezed vaccum state and squeezed state. We show that the dynamical Casimir effect plays a significant role in producing the squeezed-spin states by producing squeezed states of the optical field which is then transferred to the condensate atoms. We further show that the maximum spin-squeezing is obtained in the case of initial cavity field prepared in the squeezed state.
