Generation of spin squeezing via continuous quantum nondemolition measurement
Continuous quantum nondemolition monitoring of a collective atomic spin with an off-resonant laser beam has been performed. Squeezed atomic spin states have thereby been produced with spin noise reduction to 70% below the standard quantum limit expected for a coherent spin state.
