Abstract

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.

We report on an experiment underway 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. We have developed a new detection system with the capability of real time measurement and feedback control. Simulations indicate that optical pumping is a good candidate for feedback.

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.

Spin cooling via incoherent feedback in an ensemble of cold 87Rb atoms

N. Behbood, Giorgio Colangelo, Ferran Martin Ciurana +3 more

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.

Generation of Macroscopic Singlet States in a Cold Atomic Ensemble

We report the generation of a macroscopic singlet state in a cold atomic sample via quantum nondemolition measurement-induced spin squeezing. We observe 3 dB of spin squeezing and detect entanglement with 5σ statistical significance using a generalized spin-squeezing inequality. The degree of squeezing implies at least 50% of the atoms have formed singlets.
