Vacuum spin squeezing
arXiv:1703.02439 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.96.050301
Abstract
We investigate the generation of entanglement (spin squeezing) in an optical-transition atomic clock through the coupling to a vacuum electromagnetic field that is enhanced by an optical cavity. We show that if each atom is prepared in a superposition of the ground state and a long-lived electronic excited state, and viewed as a spin-1/2 system, then the collective vacuum light shift entangles the atoms, resulting in a squeezed distribution of the ensemble collective spin. This scheme reveals that even a vacuum field can be a useful resource for entanglement and quantum manipulation. The method is simple and robust since it requires neither the application of light nor precise frequency control of the ultra-high-finesse cavity. Furthermore, the scheme can be used to implement two-axis twisting by rotating the spin direction while coupling to the vacuum, resulting in stronger squeezing.
