Abstract We propose protocols for the creation of useful entangled states in a system of spins collectively coupled to a bosonic mode, directly applicable to trapped-ion and cavity QED setups. The protocols use coherent manipulations of the resonant spin-boson interactions naturally arising in these systems to prepare spin squeezed states exponentially fast in time. The resonance condition harnesses the full spin-boson coupling and thus avoids the slower timescales when operating in the off-resonance regime. We demonstrate the robustness of the protocols by analyzing the effects of natural sources of decoherence in these systems and show their advantage compared to more standard slower approaches where entanglement is generated with off-resonant spin-boson interactions.

Thomas Pattard; Jan Michael Rost; Franco Dalfovo (Ed.)We experimentally demonstrate that well-designed driven lattices are versatile tools to simultaneously tune multiple key parameters (spin-dependent interactions, spinor phase, and quadratic Zeeman energy) for manipulating phase diagrams of spinor gases with negligible heating and atom losses. This opens avenues for studying engineered Hamiltonians and dynamical phase transitions. Modulation-induced harmonics generate progressively narrower separatrices at driving-frequency-determined higher magnetic-field strengths. This technique enables exploration of multiple, previously inaccessible parameter regimes of spinor dynamics (notably high magnetic-field strengths, tunable spinor phase, and individually tunable spin-preserving and spin-changing collisions) and widens the range of cold-atom applications, e.g., in quantum sensing and studies of nonequilibrium dynamics.more » « less

Thomas Pattard; Jan Michael Rost; Franco Dalfovo (Ed.)We present an experimental realization of dynamic self-trapping and nonexponential tunneling in a multistate system consisting of ultracold sodium spinor gases confined in moving optical lattices. Taking advantage of the fact that the tunneling process between different momentum states in the sodium spinor system is resolvable over a broader dynamic energy scale than previously observed in rubidium scalar gases, we demonstrate that the tunneling dynamics in the multistate system strongly depends on an interaction induced nonlinearity and is influenced by the spin degree of freedom under certain conditions. We develop a rigorous multistate tunneling model to describe the observed dynamics. Combined with our recent observation of spatially manipulated spin dynamics, these results open up prospects for alternative multistate ramps and state transfer protocols.more » « less
