Facilitating spin squeezing generated by collective dynamics with single-particle decoherence

K. Tucker, Diego Barberena, Robert J. Lewis-Swan +3 more

We study the generation of spin squeezing in arrays of long-lived dipoles subject to collective emission, coherent drive, elastic interactions, and single-particle relaxation. It is found that not only does single-particle relaxation not necessarily degrade the squeezing generated in the collective dynamics, but the interplay of single-particle and collective effects can in fact facilitate the generation of squeezing in a specific parameter regime. This latter behavior is connected to the dynamical self-tuning of the system through a dissipative phase transition that is present in the collective system alone. Our findings will be applicable to next-generation quantum sensors with an eye towards atomic clocks in cavity-QED setups and trapped ion systems.

Engineering atomic superradiance scaling in cavity QED system with collective and individual emission channels

Sun, Ruijin, Xiang Guo, A. Ruschhaupt +1 more

The coherent emission of multiple atoms gives rise to superradiance, a cornerstone phenomenon in quantum optics with wide-ranging applications in quantum information processing and precision metrology. Despite its importance, how the superradiant scaling with respect to the number of participating atoms can be effectively controlled remains largely unexplored. In this work, we investigate a cavity-QED system and demonstrate that atom-photon coupling can significantly alter the emission behavior--suppressing the collective superradiant scaling while enhancing the scaling associated with individual atomic emissions. Our study provides a pathway toward controllable collective emission in state-of-the-art experimental platforms.

Towards a quantum-enhanced atomic clock on a chip

Tommaso Mazzoni, Meng-Zi Huang, Théo Laudat +2 more

The Dick effect and quantum projection noise (QPN) are among the most stringent limiting factors for state-of-the-art atomic frequency standards, including both primary and secondary standards, as well as compact clocks. A possible solution to the Dick effect relies on Quantum Non-Destructive (QND) detection, which allows multiple interrogations with weak measurements on the same atomic ensemble. Furthermore, spin-squeezed states, which can also be prepared by such QND detection, have the potential to enable clock measurements beyond the standard quantum limit, by employing quantum correlations. Our experimental platform is a Trapped-Atom Clock on a Chip (TACC) that uses ultracold Rb atoms, having demonstrated metrological stability. In the second generation of this experiment, we target quantum enhancement by using QND detection and spin-squeezed ultra-cold atoms generated by cavity QED interactions. To reach this goal, we have integrated two fiber Fabry-Perot cavities on the clock chip, realizing a platform for cavity QED in the strong coupling and weak coupling regimes. With this new device we aim to explore spin squeezing at a metrologically relevant level of stability. Here, we report on the current status and perspectives of this project.
