Abstract

We discuss the effect of spatial dynamics in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates on spin squeezing and transfer to squeezed light. We also present a general treatment of squeezing transfer from atomic spins to light fields.

Dynamics of Spin Squeezing in Coupled Two Mode Bose–Einstein Condensates

We examine the effect of the phase of the external light fields on the dynamics of spin fluctuations in a coupled two-component Bose–Einstein condensates. We discover that the phase of the coherent coupling between the two components to be an easily tunable experimental parameter that can conveniently manipulate the spin squeezing in our given system.

Limit of spin squeezing in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates

Alice Sinatra, Yvan Castin, Emilia Witkowska

The evolution of an interacting two-component Bose-Einstein condensate from an initial phase state leads to a spin squeezed state that may be used in atomic clocks to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, opening the way to quantum metrology. The efficiency of spin squeezing is limited by the finite temperature of the gas, as was shown theoretically in a spatially homogeneous system. Here we determine the limit of spin squeezing in the realistic trapped case, with classical field simulations, and with a completely analytical treatment that includes the quantum case.

Spatial dynamics and spin squeezing in Bose-Einstein condensates

Sulakshana Thanvanthri, Zachary Dutton

We develop a cumulant based formalism to deterministically calculate the lowest order quantum fluctuations of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate. We use this to study spin squeezing induced by the atom-atom interaction nonlinearity. Our formalism naturally accounts for the multimode spatial description of the condensate, extending previous spin squeezing work which assumed a single spatial mode. We study spin squeezing in both the miscible and immiscible (phase separating) regimes for the scattering lengths. In the miscible regime, we find the squeezing parameter deviates very little from the single spatial mode approach, while in the phase separating regime, we find the squeezing is slightly reduced, though significant squeezing still occurs.

Storage of Spin Squeezing in a Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensate

Guangri Jin, Sang Wook Kim

A simple scheme for storage of spin squeezing in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate is investigated by considering rapidly turning-off the external field at a time that maximal spin squeezing occurs. We show that strong reduction of spin fluctuation can be maintained in a nearly fixed direction. We explain the underlying physics using the phase model and present analytical expressions of the maximal-squeezing time and the corresponding squeezing parameter.

Spin squeezing in a driven Bose-Einstein condensate

S. D. Jenkins, T. A. B. Kennedy

We consider a collection of atoms prepared in a Bose-Einstein condensate which interact via two-body elastic collisions. A resonant driving field couples two internal states which together constitute an effective spin 1/2 system for each atom, and from which a total spin for the gas can be defined. It is shown that in the limit of strong driving, the system dynamics reduces to a mechanism for spin squeezing similar to that of a recent proposal for undriven condensates. However, we find that the conditions for spatial stability in our driven system are complementary to those of the undriven system. Reasons for this difference, associated with the physics of dressed atom collisions, are discussed along with conditions for preparing and observing the spin squeezed state.

Spin squeezing in a bimodal condensate: spatial dynamics and particle losses

Yun Li, Philipp Treutlein, Jakob Reichel +1 more

We propose an analytical method to study the entangled spatial and spin dynamics of interacting bimodal Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that at particular times during the evolution spatial and spin dynamics disentangle and the spin squeezing can be predicted by a simple two-mode model. We calculate the maximum spin squeezing achievable in experimentally relevant situations with Sodium or Rubidium bimodal condensates, including the effect of the dynamics and of one, two and three-body losses.
