We develop a scheme to generate number squeezing in a Bose-Einstein condensate by utilizing interference between two hyperfine levels and nonlinear atomic interactions. We describe the scheme using a multimode quantum field model and find agreement with a simple analytic model in certain regimes. We demonstrate that the scheme gives strong squeezing for realistic choices of parameters and atomic species. The number squeezing can result in noise well below the quantum limit, even if the initial noise on the system is classical and much greater than that of a poisson distribution.

We investigate the factors that influence the usefulness of supersonic collisions of Bose-Einstein condensates as a potential source of entangled atomic pairs by analyzing the reduction of the number difference fluctuations between regions of opposit e momenta. We show that non-monochromaticity of the mother clouds is typically the leading limitation on number squeezing, and that the squeezing becomes less robust to this effect as the density of pairs grows. We develop a simple model that explains the relationship between density correlations and the number squeezing, allows one to estimate the squeezing from properties of the correlation peaks, and shows how the multi-mode nature of the scattering must be taken into account to understand the behavior of the pairing. We analyze the impact of the Bose enhancement on the number squeezing, by introducing a simplified low-gain model. We conclude that as far as squeezing is concerned the preferable configuration occurs when atoms are scattered not uniformly but rather into two well separated regions.

This paper has been withdrawn. It is based on numerical results limited by computing resources to N=3000 atoms. Using a newly understood geometric method we find that the observed scaling with N saturates at around N=7000 or even higher. In light of this new finding we withdraw the paper and will submit a revised manuscript reflecting our new understanding.
We theoretically analyze atom interferometry based on trapped ultracold atoms, and employ optimal control theory in order to optimize number squeezing and condensate trapping. In our simulations, we consider a setup where the confinement potential is transformed from a single to a double well, which allows to split the condensate. To avoid in the ensuing phase-accumulation stage of the interferometer dephasing due to the nonlinear atom-atom interactions, the atom number fluctuations between the two wells should be sufficiently low. We show that low number fluctuations (high number squeezing) can be obtained by optimized splitting protocols. Two types of solutions are found: in the Josephson regime we find an oscillatory tunnel control and a parametric amplification of number squeezing, while in the Fock regime squeezing is obtained solely due to the nonlinear coupling, which is transformed to number squeezing by peaked tunnel pulses. We study splitting and squeezing within the frameworks of a generic two-mode model, which allows us to study the basic physical mechanisms, and the multi-configurational time dependent Hartree for bosons method, which allows for a microscopic modeling of the splitting dynamics in realistic experiments. Both models give similar results, thus highlighting the general nature of these two solution schemes. We finally analyze our results in the context of atom interferometry.
Light-induced nonlinear terms in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation arise from the stimulated coherent exchange of photons between two atoms. For atoms in an optical dipole trap this effect depends on the spatial profile of the trapping laser beam. Two di fferent laser beams can induce the same trapping potential but very different nonlinearities. We propose a scheme to measure light-induced nonlinearities which is based on this observation.

We analytically investigate the ground-state properties of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with few ⁸⁷Rb atoms inside a high-quality cavity quantum electrodynamics. In the SU(2) representation for atom, this quantum system can be realized a generalized Dicke model with a quadratic term arising from the interatomic interactions, which can be controlled experimentally by Feshbach resonance technique. Moreover, this weak interspecies interaction can give rise to an important zero-temperature quantum phase transition from the normal to the superradiant phases, where the atomic ensemble in the normal phase is collectively unexcited while is macroscopically excited with coherent radiations in the superradiant phase. Finally, we propose to observe this predicted quantum phase transition by measuring the direct and striking signatures of the photon field in terms of a heterodyne detector out of the cavity.
