Spin-Squeezing and Non-Classical States

Concepts for the generation, manipulation and applications of squeezed and entangled atomic ensembles.

Contributions to QuantumFrontiers

  • Development of concepts for the generation, manipulation and detection of spin-squeezed and entangled many-body states.
  • Exploration of methods for their transfer to external degrees of freedom.
  • Devise applications for entanglement-enhanced sensitivities in frequency, magnetic field, and inertial sensing.
  • Investigate entangled states for tests of fundamental physics: fundamental sources of decoherence and coupling of quantum objects to general relativity.

Collaborative Innovation

  • Collaboration between theory and experiments on spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (Santos LUH, Klempt LUH/DLR-SI)
  • Collaboration on momentum entanglement for atom interferometers (Rasel LUH, Klempt LUH/DLR-SI)
  • Collaboration on entanglement-enhanced metrology (Smerzi, Santos LUH)
  • Entanglement-enhanced atom source in microgravity (Rasel LUH, Klempt LUH/DLR-SI)
