• Abstract summary: We present a rigorous mathematical analysis for the visibility in a general SG interferometer for non-squeezed and squeezed thermal coherent states. We show that for wave-packet split sizes of the order of microns, masses of the order of 1.0e-14 - 1.0e-15 kg can be used to realize such a proposal for time intervals as high as 0.5 seconds.

• Abstract: Over the years, quite a few proposals have been put forward by various groups to exploit the Stern-Gerlach effect to create stable macroscopic spatial superpositions between micron-sized neutral test masses over appreciably long time scales. One such proposal put forward by Bose et al. and co-workers in 2017 uses this idea to show that two masses cannot be gravitationally entangled if not for the presence of a quantum coherent mediator. A key aspect of this approach involves the measure of the visibility of the SG-interferometer, a quantity that provides an estimate of the degree of spin coherence that is conserved over the total interferometric time after the wave-packets are combined in both, position and momentum space. A successful implementation of this idea however requires the knowledge of several experimental parameters. To this end, we present a rigorous mathematical analysis for the visibility in a general SG interferometer for non-squeezed and squeezed thermal coherent states of the Quantum harmonic oscillator. Additionally, we derive constraints on the temperature of the initially prepared wave-packet of the test mass required for both, the non-squeezed and squeezed coherent states. We show that for wave-packet split sizes of the order of microns, masses of the order of 1.0e-14 - 1.0e-15 kg can be used to realize such a proposal for time intervals as high as 0.5 seconds. Our results show that for the squeezed case, the temperatures required can be scaled up by several orders of magnitude (as opposed to the non-squeezed case) if one considers a squeezing in the momentum space of the initially prepared wave-packet.

We present two independent refinements: first, using a multistep spin-squeezing protocol allows us to further enhance the squeezing by approximately 1 dB, and second, leveraging Floquet engineering to realize Heisenberg interactions.

• Constraints on probing quantum coherence to infer gravitational entanglement [0.0]
  Gravity mediated entanglement generation so far appears to be the key ingredient for a potential experiment. With measurements performed only on the atoms, a coherence revival test is proposed for verifying this entanglement generation. We explore formulations of such a protocol, and specifically find that in the envisioned regime of operation with high thermal excitation, semi-classical models, where there is no concept of entanglement, also give the same experimental signatures.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
