Spin Squeezing in a Rydberg Lattice Clock

Abstract

We theoretically demonstrate a viable approach to spin squeezing in optical lattice clocks via optical dressing of one clock state to a highly excited Rydberg state, generating switchable atomic interactions. For realistic experimental parameters, these interactions are shown to generate over 10dB of squeezing in large ensembles within a few microseconds and without degrading the subsequent clock interrogation.
