Entanglement-based technologies, such as quantum information processing, quantum simulations, and quantum metrology have the potential to revolutionize our way of computing and measuring, and help clarify the puzzling concept of entanglement itself. Ultracold atoms on atom chips are attractive for their implementation, as they provide control over quantum systems in compact, robust, and scalable setups. A severe limitation of atom chips, however, is that techniques to control atomic interactions and thus to generate entanglement have not been experimentally available so far.
In this talk we present experiments where we generate multi-particle entanglement on an atom chip by controlling elastic collisional interactions with a state-dependent microwave near-field potential. We employ this technique to generate spin-squeezed states of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate and show that they are useful for quantum metrology. Our data show good agreement with a dynamical multi-mode simulation and allow us to reconstruct the Wigner function of the spin-squeezed condensate.
