• Abstract: Coherent many-body states are highly promising for robust and scalable quantum information processing. While far-reaching theoretical predictions have been made for various implementations, direct experimental evidence of their appealing properties can be challenging. Here, we demonstrate coherent optical manipulation of the nuclear spin ensemble in the lead halide perovskite semiconductor FAPbBr$_3$ (FA=formamidinium), targeting a long-postulated collective dark state that is insensitive to optical pumping. Via optical orientation of localized hole spins we drive the nuclear many-body system into an entangled state, requiring a weak magnetic field of only a few Millitesla strength at cryogenic temperatures. During its fast build-up, the nuclear polarization along the optical axis remains small, while the transverse nuclear spin fluctuations are strongly reduced, corresponding to spin squeezing as evidenced by a strong violation of the generalized nuclear squeezing-inequality with $\xi_s < 0.3$. The dark state evidenced in this process corresponds to an approximately 750-body entanglement between the nuclei. Dark nuclear spin states can be exploited to store quantum information benefiting from their long-lived many-body coherence and to perform quantum measurements with a precision beyond the standard limit.

At the onset of quantum chemistry, we show how two physical mechanisms can open up inelastic or spatial multi-mode light scattering processes.

We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing.

  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.
