Abstract

We investigate spin squeezing effects of trapped ions in an off-resonance optical potential system using the arbitrary range spin—spin interaction and transverse field model. The collective spin noises at any time are analyzed exactly. The general expression of spin squeezing factor is presented for arbitrary-range spin interaction. For the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest neighbor spin interaction model, the analytic solutions are reduced from the general expressions. It is shown that the maximum spin squeezing is enhanced for the general arbitrary-range spin interaction compared with the nearest-neighbor interaction model as the long-range interaction with arbitrary sites enforces stronger correlation.

Spin squeezing in the Ising model

Xiaoguang Wang, Anders Søndberg Sørensen, Klaus Mølmer

We analyze the collective spin noise in interacting spin systems. General expressions are derived for the short-time behavior of spin systems with general spin-spin interactions, and we suggest optimum experimental conditions for the detection of spin squeezing. For Ising models with site-dependent nearest-neighbor interactions, general expressions are presented for the spin squeezing parameter for all times. The reduction of collective spin noise can be used to verify the entangling powers of quantum computer architectures based on interacting spins.

Nonperturbative calculation of phonon effects on spin squeezing

Daniel Dylewsky, James K. Freericks, Michael L. Wall +2 more

Theoretical models of spins coupled to bosons provide a simple setting for studying a broad range of important phenomena in many-body physics, from virtually mediated interactions to decoherence and thermalization. In many atomic, molecular, and optical systems, such models also underlie the most successful attempts to engineer strong, long-ranged interactions for the purpose of entanglement generation. Especially when the coupling between the spins and bosons is strong, such that it cannot be treated perturbatively, the properties of such models are extremely challenging to calculate theoretically. Here, exact analytical expressions for nonequilibrium spin-spin correlation functions are derived for a specific model of spins coupled to bosons. The spatial structure of the coupling between spins and bosons is completely arbitrary, and thus the solution can be applied to systems in any number of dimensions. The explicit and nonperturbative inclusion of the bosons enables the study of entanglement generation (in the form of spin squeezing) even when the bosons are driven strongly and near resonantly, and thus provides a quantitative view of the breakdown of adiabatic elimination that inevitably occurs as one pushes towards the fastest entanglement generation possible. The solution also helps elucidate the effect of finite temperature on spin squeezing. The model considered is relevant to a variety of atomic, molecular, and optical systems, such as atoms in cavities or trapped ions. As an explicit example, the results are used to quantify phonon effects in trapped ion quantum simulators, which are expected to become increasingly important as these experiments push towards larger numbers of ions.

Spin Squeezing with Short-Range Spin-Exchange Interactions

Michael A. Perlin, Chunlei Qu, Ana María Rey

We investigate many-body spin squeezing dynamics in an XXZ model with interactions that fall off with distance r as 1/r^{α} in D=2 and 3 spatial dimensions. In stark contrast to the Ising model, we find a broad parameter regime where spin squeezing comparable to the infinite-range α=0 limit is achievable even when interactions are short ranged, α>D. A region of "collective" behavior in which optimal squeezing grows with system size extends all the way to the α→∞ limit of nearest-neighbor interactions. Our predictions, made using the discrete truncated Wigner approximation, are testable in a variety of experimental cold atomic, molecular, and optical platforms.

Enhanced and Long-Lived Spin Squeezing in 2D Finite-Range Systems via Global Control Fields

Anonymous, Zhen-Xing Hua, Meng Khoon Tey +2 more

Spin squeezing is both a fundamental witness of quantum entanglement and a key resource for quantum-enhanced metrology. While all-to-all interactions provide a paradigmatic route to generate spin squeezing, many programmable quantum simulators naturally realize finite-range interactions that induce coupling between collective spin dynamics and finite-momentum spin-wave modes, thereby degrading the achievable squeezing. Here we develop an optimization-based global-control strategy for enhancing spin squeezing in a two-dimensional XX model with dipolar interactions. By combining rotor-spin-wave theory with an extension to open boundary conditions, we enable efficient optimization of control protocols for large finite-range interacting systems. We show that a single collective transverse field generates squeezing beyond the conventional two-axis-twisting benchmark across system sizes accessible to numerical benchmarking. The optimized dynamics exploits squeezing-axis reorientation while suppressing spin-wave excitations, thereby stabilizing strong squeezing over extended times. We further implement the optimized protocol in a two-dimensional Rydberg-atom array and experimentally observe enhanced, long-lived spin squeezing in good agreement with theory.

Dissipative transverse-field Ising model: Steady-state correlations and spin squeezing

Tony E. Lee, Ching-Kit Chan

We study the transverse-field Ising model with infinite-range coupling and spontaneous emission on every site. We find that there is spin squeezing in steady state due to the presence of the transverse field. This means that there is still entanglement, despite the decoherence from spontaneous emission. We analytically calculate fluctuations beyond mean-field theory using a phase-space approach, which involves converting the master equation into a Fokker-Planck equation for the Wigner function. Our calculations are relevant to current experiments with trapped ions.

Spin squeezing in mixed-dimensional anisotropic lattice models

Mikhail Mamaev, Diego Barberena, Ana María Rey

We describe a theoretical scheme for generating scalable spin squeezing with nearest-neighbor interactions between spin-1/2 particles in a three-dimensional (3D) lattice, which are naturally present in state-of-the-art 3D optical lattice clocks. We propose to use strong isotropic Heisenberg interactions within individual planes of the lattice, forcing the constituent spin-1/2s to behave as large collective spins. These large spins are then coupled with $XXZ$ anisotropic interactions along a third direction of the lattice. This system can be realized via superexchange interactions in a 3D optical lattice subject to an external linear potential, such as gravity, and in the presence of spin-orbit coupling to generate spin anisotropic interactions. We show there is a wide range of parameters in this setting where the spin squeezing improves with increasing system size even in the presence of holes.
