• Abstract summary: We examine how non-destructive measurements generate spin squeezing in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a double-well trap. The condensate in each well is monitored using coherent light beams in a Mach-Zehnder configuration that interacts with the atoms through a quantum nondemolition Hamiltonian. We find that monitoring the condensate at zero detection current and with identical coherent light beams minimizes the backaction of the measurement on the atoms.

• Abstract: We examine how non-destructive measurements generate spin squeezing in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a double-well trap. The condensate in each well is monitored using coherent light beams in a Mach-Zehnder configuration that interacts with the atoms through a quantum nondemolition Hamiltonian. We solve the dynamics of the light-atom system using an exact wavefunction approach, in the presence of dephasing noise, which allows us to examine arbitrary interaction times and a general initial state. We find that monitoring the condensate at zero detection current and with identical coherent light beams minimizes the backaction of the measurement on the atoms. In the weak atom-light interaction regime, we find the mean spin direction is relatively unaffected, while the variance of the spins is squeezed along the axis coupled to the light. Additionally, squeezing persists in the presence of tunneling and dephasing noise.

• Interference of cavity light by a single atom acting as a double slit [5.951810889409693]
  We show that when a single atom tunneling in a double well is coupled to an optical ring cavity, the interference phenomena arise. Being driven by an external laser in the dispersive regime, the field emitted by the atom into the cavity exhibits an interference pattern. Our work opens ways to manipulate photons with controllable external states of atoms for quantum information applications.

  Dicke superradiance describes the collective radiative decay of a fully inverted ensemble of two-level atoms. We experimentally investigate this effect for a chiral, i.e.,direction-dependent light--matter coupling. Our results shed light on the collective radiative dynamics of cascaded quantum many-body systems.

  One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

  Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator. We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
