Generation of planar quantum squeezing in an atomic ensemble

Abstract

We extend the covariance-matrix description of atom-light quantum interfaces to spin-1 systems including technical noise and decoherences. We use this description to predict and produce a planar squeezed state in a cold 87Rb ensemble.

Spin squeezing, the generation of collective states of atomic ensembles with reduced spin noise by exploiting non-classical correlations between particles, is a promising approach to overcoming the standard quantum limit set by projection noise of independent atoms. We present two implementations of spin squeezing in ensembles of87Rb confined within an optical resonator, and discuss some of the decoherence mechanisms, both technical and fundamental, that we encounter.

Cold, trapped atomic ensembles present new opportunities for light-matter interfaces, including tomographic measurements and new interactions. The tensor polarizability can be exploited to produce interactions useful for spin squeezing, measurement of atom number, and quantum cloning of light into matter. We describe experiments in a cold ensemble of dipole-trapped 87Rb to produce spin squeezing by quantum non-demolition measurement.

We demonstrate spin squeezing of a magnetically sensitive coherent spin-state in an ensemble of ∼ 6.5 × 105 cold 87Rb atoms. Quantum non-demolition measurements achieved a spin-noise reduction by 2.9 ( − 1.0 + 1.3 ) dB compared to the initial projection noise level.

Concurrent Spin Squeezing and Light Squeezing in an Atomic Ensemble

Shenchao Jin, Junlei Duan, Youwei Zhang +7 more

Squeezed spin states and squeezed light are both key resources for quantum metrology and quantum information science, but have been separately investigated in experiments so far. Simultaneous generation of these two types of quantum states in one experiment setup is intriguing but remains a challenging goal. Here, we propose a novel protocol based on judiciously engineered symmetric atom-light interaction, and report proof-of-principle experimental results of concurrent spin squeezing of 0.61±0.09 dB and light squeezing of 0.65_{-0.10}^{+0.11} dB in a hot atomic ensemble. The squeezing process is deterministic, yielding fixed squeezing directions for both the light field and the collective atomic spin. Furthermore, the squeezed light modes lie in the multiple frequency sidebands of a single spatial mode. This new type of dual squeezed state is applicable for quantum enhanced metrology and quantum networks. Our method can be extended to other quantum platforms such as optomechanics, cold atoms, and trapped ions.
