Interferometry and EPR Entanglement in a BEC
Entanglement is the basis of the EPR paradox, and macroscopic entanglement is a challenging frontier in modern physics [1]. It also has potential applications in sub shot-noise interferometry and ultra-sensitive detection beyond the standard quantum limit. Bose Einstein condensates (BEC) of ultracold atoms are excellent candidates to provide entangled states involving a large number of massive ...
متن کاملSurpassing the standard quantum limit in an atom interferometer with four-mode entanglement produced from four-wave mixing
We theoretically investigate a scheme for atom interferometry that surpasses the standard quantum limit. A four-wave mixing scheme similar to the recent experiment performed by Pertot et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 200402 (2010)] is used to generate subshotnoise correlations between two modes. These two modes are then interfered with the remaining two modes in such a way as to surpass the standa...
متن کاملCollective state measurement of mesoscopic ensembles with single-atom resolution.
We demonstrate single-atom resolution, as well as detection sensitivity more than 20 dB below the quantum projection noise limit, for hyperfine-state-selective measurements on mesoscopic ensembles containing 100 or more atoms. The measurement detects the atom-induced shift of the resonance frequency of an optical cavity containing the ensemble. While spatially varying coupling of atoms to the c...
متن کاملWeak value amplification and beyond the standard quantum limit in position measurements
In a weak measurement with post-selection, a measurement value, called the weak value, can be amplified beyond the eigenvalues of the observable. However, there are some controversies whether the weak value amplification is practically useful or not in increasing sensitivity of the measurement in which fundamental quantum noise dominates. In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity limit of a...

In a weak measurement with postselection, a measurement value, called the weak value, can be amplified beyond the eigenvalues of an observable. However, there are some controversies whether weak-value amplification is practically useful in increasing the sensitivity of the measurement, in which fundamental quantum noise dominates. In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity limit of an optica...
