Abstract
The stability of several clock protocols based on 2 to 20 entangled atoms is evaluated numerically, by a simulation that includes the effect of decoherence due to classical oscillator noise. In this context the squeezed states proposed by Andre, Sorensen, and Lukin [PRL 92, 239801 (2004)] offer reduced instability compared to clocks based on Ramsey's protocol with unentangled atoms. When more than fifteen atoms are simulated, the protocol suggested by Buzek,Derka and Massar [PRL 82, 2207 (1999)] has lower instability. A large-scale numerical search for optimal clock protocols with 2 to 8 qubits yields improved clock stability compared to Ramsey spectroscopy, but no performance gains with respect to the other protocols. In the simulations, a laser local oscillator decoheres due to flicker-frequency (1/f) noise. The oscillator frequency is repeatedly corrected, based on projective measurements of the qubits, which are assumed not to decohere with one another.Proceedings Title
