Positive P simulations of spin squeezing in a two-component Bose condensate
نویسنده
چکیده
The collisional interaction in a Bose condensate represents a non-linearity which in analogy with non-linear optics gives rise to unique quantum features. In this paper we apply a Monte Carlo method based on the positive P pseudo-probability distribution from quantum optics to analyze the efficiency of spin squeezing by collisions in a two-component condensate. The squeezing can be controlled by choosing appropiate collision parameters or by manipulating the motional states of the two components.

Self-induced spatial dynamics to enhance spin squeezing via one-axis twisting in a two component Bose-Einstein condensate
We theoretically investigate a scheme to enhance relative number squeezing and spin squeezing in a twocomponent Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by utilizing the inherent mean-field dynamics of the condensate. Due to the asymmetry in the scattering lengths, the two components exhibit large density oscillations where they spatially separate and recombine. The effective nonlinearity responsible for...
متن کاملLimit of spin squeezing in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
The evolution of an interacting two-component Bose-Einstein condensate from an initial phase state leads to a spin squeezed state that may be used in atomic clocks to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, opening the way to quantum metrology. The efficiency of spin squeezing is limited by the finite temperature of the gas, as was shown theoretically in a spatially homogeneous system. Here we dete...

متن کاملSpin squeezing in a bimodal condensate: spatial dynamics and particle losses
We propose an analytical method to study the entangled spatial and spin dynamics of interacting bimodal Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that at particular times during the evolution spatial and spin dynamics disentangle and the spin squeezing can be predicted by a simple two-mode model. We calculate the maximum spin squeezing achievable in experimentally relevant situations with Sodium or Ru...
متن کاملOptimum spin squeezing in Bose-Einstein condensates with particle losses.
The problem of spin squeezing with a bimodal condensate in the presence of particle losses is solved analytically by the Monte Carlo wave function method. We find the largest obtainable spin squeezing as a function of the one-body loss rate, the two-body and three-body rate constants, and the s-wave scattering length.
