Abstract

Squeezed states—which permit precision beyond the scope of Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation—are well established for spin-1/2 particles. Now an elegant demonstration of squeezing in spin-1 condensates generalizes the criteria for squeezed states to higher spin dimensions. The standard quantum limit of measurement uncertainty can be surpassed using squeezed states, which minimize the uncertainty product in Heisenberg’s relation by reducing the uncertainty of one property at the expense of another1. Collisions in ultracold atomic gases have been used to induce quadrature spin squeezing in two-component Bose condensates 2,3, for which the complementary properties are the components of the total spin vector. Here, we generalize this finding to a higher-dimensional spin space by measuring squeezing in a spin-1 Bose condensate. Following a quench through a quantum phase transition, we demonstrate that spin-nematic quadrature squeezing improves on the standard quantum limit by up to 8–10 dB—a significant increase on previous measurements. This squeezing is associated with negligible occupation of the squeezed modes, and is analogous to optical two-mode vacuum squeezing. The observation has implications for continuous variable quantum information and quantum-enhanced magnetometry.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
