Exact Solution to Spin Squeezing of the Arbitrary-Range Spin Interaction and Transverse Field Model

We investigate spin squeezing effects of trapped ions in an off-resonance optical potential system using the arbitrary range spin–spin interaction and transverse field model. The collective spin noises at any time are analyzed exactly. The general expression of spin squeezing factor is presented for arbitrary-range spin interaction. For the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest neighbor spin interaction model, the analytic solutions are reduced from the general expressions. It is shown that the maximum spin squeezing is enhanced for the general arbitrary-range spin interaction compared with the nearest-neighbor interaction model as the long-range interaction with arbitrary sites enforces stronger correlation.
