"Efficient generation of many-body singlet states of spin-1 bosons in optical superlattices." <i>Physical Review A,</i> 95, no. 6 (2017) American Physical Society: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.95.063624.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/97368We propose an efficient stepwise adiabatic merging (SAM) method to generate many-body singlet states in antiferromagnetic spin-1 bosons in concatenated optical superlattices with isolated double-well arrays, by adiabatically ramping up the double-well bias. With an appropriate choice of bias sweeping rate and magnetic field, the SAM protocol predicts a fidelity as high as 90% for a 16-body singlet state and even higher fidelities for smaller even-body singlet states. During their evolution, the spin-1 bosons exhibit interesting squeezing dynamics, manifested by an odd-even oscillation of the experimentally observable squeezing parameter. The generated many-body singlet states may find practical applications in precision measurement of magnetic field gradient and in quantum information processing.engArticle is made available in accordance with the publisher's policy and may be subject to US copyright law.
