Ramsey Interferometry with squeezed collective spin states under decoherence — •Björn Schrinski1, Stefan Nimmrichter2, and Klaus Hornberger1 — 1Fakultät für Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen — 2Centre For Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore
We discuss the non-unitary time evolution of number-squeezed collective spin states in Ramsey interferometry. We focus on decoherence models as proposed by the CSL model [1] or utilized by macroscopicity measures [2]. Exemplary experimental realisations are BEC superpositions with ultracold Rubidium atoms in double [3] and single-well [4] potentials. Our analytical results are based on a continuous-variables approach in the basis of Dicke states and are verified using exact numerical simulations in cases when the particle number is conserved.
