We investigate the behavior of an ensemble of non-interacting, identical atoms excited by a laser. In general, the -th atom sees a Rabi frequency , an initial position dependent laser phase , and a motion induced Doppler shift of . When or is distinct for each atom, the system evolves into a superposition of intercoupled states, of which there are symmetric and asymmetric collective states. For a collective state atomic interferometer (COSAIN), we recently proposed, it is important to…

Enhancing the sensitivity of an atom interferometer to the Heisenberg limit using increased quantum noise

In a conventional atomic interferometer employing N atoms, the phase sensitivity is at the standard quantum limit: 1/N. Under usual spin squeezing, the sensitivity is increased by lowering the

Generalized echo squeezing protocol with near-Heisenberg-limit sensitivity and strong robustness against detection noise and variation in squeezing parameter

We present a generalized echo squeezing protocol (GESP) as a generalization of the Schr\"odinger cat state protocol (SCSP) with the value of the squeezing parameter being an arbitrary number rather

Ultra-high compton frequency, parity independent, mesoscopic schroedinger cat atom interferometer with heisenberg limited sensitivity

We show that collective-state detection combined with one-axis-twist squeezing and un-squeezing can produce a parity-independent, mesoscopic Schroedinger cat atom interferometer with ultra-high

Measurement of gravitational acceleration by dropping atoms

Laser-cooling of atoms and atom-trapping are finding increasing application in many areas of science. One important use of laser-cooled atoms is in atom interferometers. In these devices, an atom is

Directed spontaneous emission from an extended ensemble of N atoms: timing is everything.

It is shown that a single photon absorbed by the N atoms will be followed by spontaneous emission in the same direction, and phase matched emission is found when one photon is absorbed by N atoms followed by two-photon down-conversion.

A precision measurement of the gravitational redshift by the interference of matter waves

The view that gravity is a manifestation of space-time curvature, an underlying principle of general relativity that has come under scrutiny in connection with the search for a theory of quantum gravity, is supported.
