A Rydberg laser for generating spin-squeezed states in a multiplexed optical lattice clock

Abstract

We propose to integrate a high-power 317 nm laser into an existing multiplexed optical lattice clock apparatus in order to introduce Rydberg interactions for the generation of highly entangled quantum states. Differential measurements between the two atom ensembles in our apparatus will be immune to frequency noise of the shared clock laser and to common mode environmental perturbations, enabling record differential stabilities. The use of highly entangled states for quantum enhanced metrology in our apparatus can be expected to offer initial sensitivity enhancements by a factor of À 2, offering record differential stabilities approaching the level of À 2.5 À 10-18/pÀ . The proposed research is of direct relevance to the interests of the Department of Defense through the potential impact on precision navigation and timing, secure communications, and imaging and detection capabilities.
