In this paper we describe that the optically pumped frequency standards can have frequency stability beyond the quantum noise limit by detecting the Ramsey resonance through the squeezed light. In this paper we report that instead of considering the interaction of entangled atoms in the microwave region, it will be more practical to create the entanglement of the atoms in the detection region using the squeezed light, which is also used for the detection of the Ramsey resonance. The advantage of squeezing can be derived when the technical noises have been removed.

We provide a framework for understanding recent experiments on squeezing of a collective atomic pseudo-spin, induced by a homodyne measurement on off-resonant probe light interrogating the atoms. The detection of light decimates the atomic state dist ribution and we discuss the conditions under which the resulting reduced quantum fluctuations are metrologically relevant. In particular, we consider a dual probe scheme which benefits from a cancelation of classical common mode noise sources such that quantum fluctuations from light and atoms are the main contributions to the detected signal.
We use a quantum non-demolition measurement to generate a spin squeezed state and to create entanglement in a cloud of 10^5 cold cesium atoms, and for the first time operate an atomic clock improved by spin squeezing beyond the projection noise limit in a proof-of-principle experiment. For a clock-interrogation time of 10 mus the experiments show an improvement of 1.1 dB in the signal-to-noise ratio, compared to the atomic projection noise limit.

We propose a new scheme of microwave frequency standards based on pulsed coherent optical information storage. Unlike the usual frequency reference where the Ramsey fringe is printed on the population of a certain state, we print the Ramsey fringe on the coherence. Then the coherence is detected in the form of a retrieval light. The central line of the Ramsey fringe can be used as a frequency reference in an absorption-cell-based atomic frequency standard. This scheme is free of light shifts as the interrogating process is separated from the optical pumping processes, and the cavity pulling effect is negligible due to the low Q requirement. Encoding the Ramsey interference into the retrieval light pulse has the merit of high signal to noise ratio and the estimated frequency stability of shot noise limit is about $2times10^{-14}$ in 1 second, this scheme is promising for building small, compact and stable atomic frequency standards.

We propose a Raman quantum memory scheme that uses several atomic ensembles to store and retrieve the multimode highly entangled state of an optical quantum frequency comb, such as the one produced by parametric down-conversion of a pump frequency co mb. We analyse the efficiency and the fidelity of such a quantum memory. Results show that our proposal may be helpful to multimode information processing using the different frequency bands of an optical frequency comb.
The digital signal processing has greatly simplified the process of phase noise measurements, especially in oscillators, but its applications are largely confined to the frequencies below 400 MHz. We propose a novel transpose frequency technique, whi ch extends the frequency range of digital noise measurements to the microwave domain and beyond. We discuss two basic variations of the proposed noise measurement technique, one of which enables characterization of phase fluctuations added to the passing signal by the particular microwave component, for example by an amplifier, while another one is intended for measurements of phase fluctuations of the incoming signal itself.
