Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 133601 (2006) [4 pages]Generating Controllable Atom-Light Entanglement with a Raman Atom Laser SystemReceived 19 December 2005; published 5 April 2006 We introduce a scheme for creating continuous variable entanglement between an atomic beam and an optical field, by using squeezed light to outcouple atoms from a Bose-Einstein condensate via a Raman transition. We model the full multimode dynamics of the atom laser beam and the squeezed optical field and show that, with appropriate two-photon detuning and two-photon Rabi frequency, the transmitted light is entangled in amplitude and phase with the outcoupled atom laser beam. The degree of entanglement is controllable via changes in the two-photon Rabi frequency of the outcoupling process. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
