The shape and size of the resulting spin uncertainty region are well described by a simple analytical model [M.H.S., I.D.L., V.V., arXiv:0911.3936] through two orders of magnitude in the effective interaction strength, without free parameters. We deterministically generate states with up to 5.6(6) dB of metrologically relevant spin squeezing on the canonical rubidium-87 hyperfine clock transition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-02-03T00:14:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42.50.Dv", "06.20.-f", "32.80.Qk", "42.50.Lc" ], "keywords": [ "collective atomic spin", "cavity squeezing", "implementation", "hyperfine clock transition", "resulting spin uncertainty region" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2010, "month": "Feb", "volume": 104, "number": 7, "pages": "073602" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvL.104g3602L" } } }
