Fast entanglement generation via cavity-mediated nematic tensor dynamics

Abstract:Many-body entanglement in atomic ensembles offers the potential for enhanced sensing devices. Entanglement can be generated by interfacing atoms with a cavity. Traditional methods use effective two-level systems isolated from more complex atomic level structures. However, alternative strategies allow entanglement to be generated in atoms confined to a single hyperfine manifold. These strategies enable entanglement in ways fundamentally not available to two-level systems but feature extremely slow dynamics due to requiring strongly off-resonant laser fields. Here, I show that equivalent squeezing dynamics can be achieved much closer to resonance, offering entanglement generation over a hundred times faster than typical experiments. Furthermore, the Hamiltonian can be used to speed up the creation of maximally entangled states via adiabatic passage.
