Squeezing of a coupled state of two spin-1 systems

Abstract

The nature of spin squeezing has been studied earlier for a coupled state of two spinors by Usha Devi et. al. (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 36 5333 (2003)). In this paper, we extend this study to a coupled state of two spin-1 systems. Here, we show that the direct product of two spin-1 states exhibits squeezing unlike the direct product of two spinors. We investigate the nature of squeezing for non-separable coupled state of two spin-1 systems and identify the parameters which are responsible for the existence of squeezing. We also provide ways to generate them by external interactions.
