Microsecond-Programmable Synthetic Quantum Matter: Circumventing the Adiabatic Bottleneck for Heisenberg-Limited Metrology

arXiv:2609.34559

Abstract

Generating macroscopic quantum entanglement is central to quantum metrology. While traversing a quantum critical point yields Heisenberg-limited precision, adiabatic schemes are restricted by slow dynamics and decoherence. Here, we propose a non-adiabatic Floquet protocol in a single-cavity Bose-Einstein condensate to circumvent these limitations. By applying rapid rotations and phase jumps, we dynamically synthesize effective Two-Axis Twisting (TAT) interactions from native longitudinal couplings. To evaluate this beyond mean-field limits, we develop an exact finite-state automaton Matrix Product Operator (MPO) encoding that strictly bounds the virtual dimension to , enabling exact DMRG and TDVP simulations for large systems. Tracking non-equilibrium Floquet TAT dynamics and environmental decoherence for ensembles, we demonstrate that the quench rapidly generates Heisenberg-limited spin squeezing (). The microsecond timescale of this protocol decouples the generation process from typical millisecond decoherence, with phenomenological models revealing an optimal extraction time near . This work establishes a feasible route for realizing Heisenberg-limited metrology in current cavity-QED platforms.
