Abstract
Spins in solids and molecules are promising for applications of quantum sensing technology. The sensitivity of quantum sensing depends on how precisely spin observables can be determined in the measurement and is intrinsically limited by the uncertainties of the observables. The use of a spin-squeezed state in a quantum sensor can reduce the uncertainty below the standard quantum limit when combined with an appropriate measurement procedure. Here, we discuss a simulation study of the generation of a squeezed state in an interacting spin system. We show that a spin system coupled via the magnetic dipole interaction can create a squeezed state. Model systems to realize the spin squeezing experimentally are also discussed. In addition, we find that a squeezed state is a type of entangled state. The present work paves the way to realizing a squeezed state using a spin system to build a quantum sensor network with improved sensitivity and to use it for the detection of quantum entanglement.
