Abstract
Spin squeezing of collective atomic spins can be achieved conditionally via probing with light and subsequent homodyne detection, as is done in a quantum nondemolition measurement. Recently it has been shown that squeezing can also be created unconditionally by a properly designed dissipative dynamics. We compare the two approaches in a Gaussian description and optimize over all Gaussian light-matter interactions. We find that in the optimal unconditional scheme based on dissipation the level of squeezing scales with optical depth as d -1/2. In contrast, the optimal conditional scheme based on measurement of light - which in fact is not a quantum nondemolition measurement - can provide squeezing which scales as d-1. Our results apply directly also to the creation of entanglement in the form of nonlocal spin squeezing of two atomic ensembles.
