Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāSpin squeezing has received much attention due to the interesting physics and important applications such as quantum metrology and quantum information processing. We here present a scheme to engineer stable spin squeezing in an array of nitrogen vacancy centers (NVCs) coupled to a rectangular hollow metallic waveguide. The remarkable feature of the waveguide as the common environment media is that one can switch on/off either the waveguide induced dipole-dipole interactions or correlated spontaneous emissions among the NVCs by designing their spatial separation. It permits us to achieve a dissipative Dicke model after the dipole-dipole interactions vanish due to destructive interference. With the external driving lasers on each NVC, a second-order phase transition is triggered, separating the steady state into two phases with and without collective spin squeezing. Supplying a physical realization of the dissipative Dicke model, our study gives a bridge between the generation of the stable spin squeezing and the phase transition physics.
