Preparation of reduced-quantum-uncertainty input states for an atomic clock

Atomic clocks have reached the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) of precision,1 set by the projection noise inherent in measurements on uncorrelated atoms. It is possible to overcome this limit by entangling the atoms to generate a "squeezed state" of the atomic ensemble. We use the collective...
