We report an experimental study of a new technique for spin cooling an ensemble of ultracold atoms via quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement and incoherent feedback. We have demonstrated 12db spin noise reduction. This technique has direct application in generating highly entangled macroscopic singlet state.

We report on an experiment underway for generating a singlet state in a cold atomic ensemble. The experiment is based on a recent proposal to generate these states by applying a quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement and feedback to an unpolarized ensemble.

We report the first demonstration of spin squeezing of a large-spin system via quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement. We observe 2 dB of metrological squeezing in an ensemble of ~ 106 laser cooled 87Rb atoms in the F = 1 hyperfine ground state.

We report on an experiment for generating singlet states in a cold atomic ensemble. We use quantum non-demolition measurement and feedback control to produce a macroscopic spin state with total spin zero and reduced spin fluctuations.
