Spin squeezing in an ensemble of quadrupolar nuclei NMR system

Abstract

We have characterized spin-squeezed states produced at a temperature of $26^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$ on a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) quadrupolar system. The implementation is carried out in an ensemble of ${}^{133}$Cs nuclei with spin $I=7/2$ of a lyotropic liquid crystal sample. We identify the source of spin squeezing due to the interaction between the quadrupole moment of the nuclei and the electric field gradients internally present in the molecules. We use the spin angular momentum representation to describe formally the nonlinear operators that produce the spin squeezing. The quantitative and qualitatively characterization of the spin squeezing phenomena is performed through a squeezing parameter and squeezing angle developed for the two-mode BEC system, and, as well, by the Wigner quasi-probability distribution function. The generality of the present experimental scheme indicates its potential applications on solid state physics.
