We consider a system of
N two-level atoms (spins) interacting with the radiation field in a dispersive but high-
Q cavity. Under an adiabatic condition, the interaction Hamiltonian reduces to a function of spin operators which is capable of producing spin squeezing. For a bipartite system
(N=2), the expressions for spin squeezing get very simple, giving a clear indication of close to 100% noise reduction. We analyse this squeezing as a measure of bipartite entanglement.
We study the von Neumann entropy of the partial trace of a system of 2 two-level atoms (qubits) in a dispersive cavity where the atoms are interacting collectively with a single-mode electromagnetic field in the cavity. We make a contrast of this entanglement entropy with the spin squeezing property of the system. We find a close relationship between this von Neumann entropy and the spin squeezing of the system. We observe that this entanglement entropy attains its maximum value when the spin squeezing in the system goes to its maximum and is zero when the spin squeezing in the system vanishes.
