Outcoupling from a Bose-Einstein condensate with squeezed light to produce entangled atom laser beams

arXiv:quant-ph/0504069 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.72.033601

Abstract

We examine the properties of an atom laser produced by outcoupling from a Bose-Einstein condensate with squeezed light. We model the multimode dynamics of the output field and show that a significant amount of squeezing can be transfered from an optical mode to a propagating atom laser beam. We use this to demonstrate that two-mode squeezing can be used to produce twin atom laser beams with continuous variable entanglement in amplitude and phase.
