• Abstract summary: We identify a controllable and scalable catalyst that allows metrologically useful entangled states to be generated at a high rate. The time scale of entanglement formation can be much shorter than for bare atom-atom interactions, effectively eliminating the decoherence due to photon losses. Our protocol may find applications in future quantum sensors or other systems where controllable and scalable many-body entanglement is desired.

• Abstract: The generation of many-body entangled states in atomic samples should be fast, as this process always involves a subtle interplay between desired quantum effects and unwanted decoherence. Here we identify a controllable and scalable catalyst that allows metrologically useful entangled states to be generated at a high rate. This is achieved by immersing a collection of bosonic atoms, trapped in a double-well potential, in an optical cavity. In the dispersive regime, cavity photons collectively couple pairs of atoms in their ground state to a molecular state, effectively generating, photon-number dependent atom-atom interactions. These effective interactions entangle atoms at a rate that strongly scales with both the number of photons and the number of atoms. As a consequence, the characteristic time scale of entanglement formation can be much shorter than for bare atom-atom interactions, effectively eliminating the decoherence due to photon losses. Here, the control of the entanglement generation rate does not require the use of Feshbach resonances, where magnetic field fluctuations can contribute to decoherence. Our protocol may find applications in future quantum sensors or other systems where controllable and scalable many-body entanglement is desired.

• Hybrid boson sampling [0.0]
  We propose boson sampling from a system of coupled photons and Bose-Einstein condensed atoms placed inside a multi-mode cavity. We find a joint probability distribution of atom and photon numbers within a quasi-equilibrium model. Merging cavity-QED and quantum-gas technologies into hybrid boson sampling setup has the potential to overcome limitations of separate, photon or atom, sampling schemes.

• Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

  Entanglement is a powerful concept with an enormous potential for scientific and technological advances. We show how to generate entangled states from few to many qubits using a single memory atom in a cavity. Thanks to a source-to-detection efficiency of 43.18 (7)% per photon we measure these large states about once every minute, orders of magnitude faster than in any previous experiment.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed.

We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
