  3. Uncertainty Relations: Uncertainty relation for operators: For operators Õ1, Õ2, Schwartz inequality  Õ1Õ2 ½|[Õ1,Õ2]| (1) e.g. for Õ1 = x, Õ2 = p  position/momentum uncertainty relation Uncertainty relations for parameters and operators: For operator Õ() ( parameter) Õ  |dÕ/d|  (2a)  Õ/|dÕ/d| (2b) Example: In (1), let Õ1 = Õ, Õ2 = H (Hamiltonian)  ÕH ½|[Õ,H]| But,  dÕ/dt = i[H,Õ] + Õ/t ÕH ½ | dÕ/dt| (for Õ/t = 0) From (2a), Õ = |dÕ/dt| t, H t  ½ (time/energy uncertainty relation)

  4. ~ J Quantum limits to (spin) rotation angle measurement J = iSi (spin ½ particles, equivalent to ensemble of two-level systems (e.g., atoms)) (Feynman, et al. J. Appl. Phys. 28, 49 (1957) consider rotations about x axis: x = Jy/|dJy/dx| = Jy/|Jz| uncertainty “blob” z z Looking in -x direction y y Jz x  = Jy/Jz = J/|J| characterizes fluctuations of final measurements on a series of identical measurements

  5. Many spins (or atoms): Typical case (e.g., all atoms prepared in ground state):  = …N = J = N/2, mJ = -N/2 (“coherent spin state”) z z y y x |Jz| = J = N/2 “standard quantum limit” or: “shot noise limit”

  6. Interferometry e.g., Ramsey spectroscopy: applied radiation (“/2 pulses”) frequency  0 /2 pulse /2 pulse T M measure

  7. Ramsey spectroscopy (equivalent spin-½ picture): Hi = -i•B = oSzi (Si = ½), o = B B = z B J = iSi intial = …N = J = N/2, mJ = -N/2 (“coherent spin state”) J(0)cos(o - )T (in rotating frame of applied field): Bz = (o - )/ Bz = (o - )/ (Brf >> Bz) Brf/2 J(0) (o - )T Second Ramsey pulse R( = /2,  = 0) Free precession First Ramsey pulse Measure number of spins in  state: Operator Õ = Ñ(tf) = Ĵz + JÎ Ñ(tf) = N/2(1 + cos(o - )T) in laser experiments, laser fields lead to effective Brf

  8. J = iSi (Si = ½), intial = …N = J = N/2, mJ = -N/2 (“coherent spin state”) (0 - )T = +/2 (in rotating frame of applied field): Bz = (o - )/ Bz = (o - )/ (Brf >> Bz) Brf/2 J(0) (o - )T = /2 Second Ramsey pulse Free precession First Ramsey pulse N Ñ(tf) Ñ(tf) = N/2(1 + cos(o - )T) 0 0 /2  = (o - )T 

  9.  frequency fluctuations  fluctations in  quantum noise: For (0) = J, -J (“coherent” spin state) After second Ramsey pulse ((o - )T = + /2)) y y J(0) x x N coherent state Ñ(tf) = {(o - )T} = N-½ observed for coherent spin states: • Itano et al., Phys. Rev. A47, 3554 (1993). • Santarelli et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4619 (1999). “projection noise” 0   = (o - )T  0  = N-½ independent of o - 

  10. coherent state J(T) J(0) WANT: “spin-squeezed” state J(T) J(0) Yurke et al., PRA33, 4033 (1986)

  11. Generate spin squeezing with HI= Jx2,  U = exp(-itJx2) • Sanders, Phys. Rev. A40, 2417 (1989) (nonlinear beam splitter for photons) • Kitagawa and Ueda, Phys. Rev. A47, 5138 (1993) (potentially realized by Coulomb interaction in electron interferometers) • Milburn, Schneider and James, Fortschr. Physik 48, 801 (2000) (trapped ions) • Srensen & Mlmer, Phys. Rev. A62, 022311 (2000) (trapped ions) Jx2 = Jz2 (in rotated basis). Can implement Jz2 with geometric phase gate (previous lecture). U Improvement?

  12. HI= Jx2 (or Jz2) Improvement in S/N: Kitagawa and Ueda (Phys. Rev. A47, 5138 (1993)) 2 J=1 (N=2) I For large N, Imax 0.78N0.35 integration time avg. reduced by ~ (0.78)2 N0.7 1 10 J=3/2 4 2 0 (Jx2)t  /2 signal-to-noise ratio:

  13. Simple experiment, N = 2 (9Be+): Meyer et al., PRL 86, 5870 (2001) apply HI Jx2. For N = 2,  cos + sin  = /6 After /2 pulse about BRF Jz 0.9 anti-squeezing 0.8 J(0) 0.7 squeezing 0.6 0.5   0.4 /2 Standard quantum limit  BRF  But, in general, J(0) shrinks with squeezing

  15. “Spin-squeezed” states: Maximum sensitivity? z y J(0) x  = 1/N “Heisenberg” limit; holds for other operators used to determine rotation angle Kitagawa and Ueda (Phys. Rev. A47, 5138 (1993)): HI = ih(J+2 - J-2) (not known how to efficiently implement this operator)

  16. Other possibilities for generating spin squeezing: • Transfer squeezing from harmonic oscillator to spins • (e.g., via J+a + J-a† coupling) •  Wineland et al., PRA 46, R6797 (1992); Wineland et al., PRA50, 67 (1994) •  Kuzmich et al., PRL 79, 4782 (1997); Hald et al., PRL 83, 1319 (1999) • (experiment: squeezing transferred from laser beam to atoms) • QND measurements: •  Kuzmich et al., PRL 85, 1594 (2000) •  Geremia et al., Science304, 270 (2004) • (experiment: deterministic spin squeezing with QND measurement + feedback) • Collisions in cold atoms •  Sørensenet al., Nature409, 63 (2001) • (proposal: collision operators for cold (BEC) atoms looks like HI Jz2)

  17. Different strategy? recall: Õ/|dÕ/d| spin-squeezing relies on measuring operator Õ = J. Use other operators? Bollinger et al., Phys. Rev. A54, R4649 (1996) After first “(entangling) Ramsey pulse”: (note: J = 0) After second (normal) Ramsey pulse, measure parity operator: (two values possible: 1, -1)

  18. e.g., N = 6 Õ = N - N (nonentangled) Õ = parity (entangled) 6 2 0 -6 Õ  0 2 ( - 0)T  Õ (single measurement)  = 1/N, independent of ( - 0)T demonstrated in Meyer et al., PRL 86, 5870 (2001) (N = 2)

  23. Quantum information mapping: e.g. : cooling and detection of clock ions with quantum information processing methods Basic idea (2 trapped ions): “Logic” ion (e.g., 9Be+) “Clock” ion shared quantized motion • Cool Clock ion with Logic ion • Detect Clock ion by mapping state to Logic ion through motion • increases clock ion possibilities • sympathetic (laser) cooling during clock transition
