The generation of entanglement in the BEC is dramatically enhanced by amplifying the atom-atom interactions via the rapid action of an external trap.
We predict more than 30 dB of sensitivity for the variance, assuming realistic parameters and $106$ atoms.

- Abstract: We explore the possibility to overcome the standard quantum limit (SQL) in a
free-fall atom interferometer using a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in either
of the two relevant cases of Bragg or Raman scattering light pulses. The
generation of entanglement in the BEC is dramatically enhanced by amplifying
the atom-atom interactions via the rapid action of an external trap focusing
the matter-waves to significantly increase the atomic densities during a
preparation stage -- a technique we refer to as delta-kick squeezing (DKS). The
action of a second DKS operation at the end of the interferometry sequence
allows to implement a non-linear readout scheme making the sub-SQL sensitivity
highly robust against imperfect atom counting detection. We predict more than
30 dB of sensitivity gain beyond the SQL for the variance, assuming realistic
parameters and $10^6$ atoms.

We study subradiance in a Bose-Einstein condensate positioned at the mode crossing of two optical cavities.
metastable density structures that suppress emission into one cavity mode prevent relaxation to the stationary, superradiant grating.
We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

Interferometry [0.0]
Atoms undergoing Bloch oscillations (BOs) in an accelerating optical lattice acquire momentum of two photon recoils per BO.
This technique provides a large momentum transfer tool for atom optics, but its full exploitation for atom interferometric sensors requires experimental characterization of associated phases.
We develop a multi-path Stuckelberg interferometer and investigate atomic phase evolution during BOs, up to 100 photon recoil momentum transfer.
