Spin squeezing in a driven Bose-Einstein condensate
Spin squeezing in a driven Bose-Einstein condensate
We consider a collection of atoms prepared in a Bose-Einstein condensate which interact via two-body elastic collisions. A resonant driving field couples two internal states which together constitute an effective spin 1/2 system for each atom, and from which a total spin for the gas can be defined. It is shown that in the limit of strong driving, the system dynamics reduces to a mechanism for spin squeezing similar to that of a recent proposal for undriven condensates. However, we find that the conditions for spatial stability in our driven system are complementary to those of the undriven system. Reasons for this difference, associated with the physics of dressed atom collisions, are discussed along with conditions for preparing and observing the spin squeezed state

Abstract
We consider a collection of atoms prepared in a Bose-Einstein condensate which interact via two-body elastic collisions. A resonant driving field couples two internal states which together constitute an effective spin 1/2 system for each atom, and from which a total spin for the gas can be defined. It is shown that in the limit of strong driving, the system dynamics reduces to a mechanism for spin squeezing similar to that of a recent proposal for undriven condensates. However, we find that the conditions for spatial stability in our driven system are complementary to those of the undriven system. Reasons for this difference, associated with the physics of dressed atom collisions, are discussed along with conditions for preparing and observing the spin squeezed state
