Observation of Quantum Spin Noise in a 1D Light-Atoms Quantum Interface

We observe collective quantum spin states of an ensemble of atoms in a one-dimensional light-atom interface. Strings of hundreds of cesium atoms trapped in the evanescent field of a tapered nanofiber are prepared in a coherent spin state, a superposition of the two clock states. A weak quantum nonde...
