New Frontiers in Spin Squeezing

POSTER

Abstract

Entangled states of atoms are becoming increasingly practical as a resource for enhancing precision measurements. In a recent experiment, we generated and directly observed 10.2(6) dB of spin squeezing using a quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement, one of the largest amounts of directly observed spin squeezing in an atomic ensemble to date. In this poster, we present progress and recent results from a next-generation spin squeezing experiment aimed at generating even larger amounts of entanglement in an ensemble of Rb atoms.
