Squeezed states of light, generated through four-wave mixing (FWM), are increasingly recognized as valuable resources for various applications in quantum sensing, quantum imaging, and quantum information processing. In this study, we report achieving more than - 7.8 dB of intensity-difference squeezing (IDS) in two-mode squeezed states from hot Rb vapor and - 5.0 dB from hot Rb vapor, utilizing a fiber electro-optic modulator (EOM) within a single home-made diode laser system. By mitigating the effects of undesired multimode from the EOM on the squeezing, we experimentally demonstrated the IDS of Rb and Rb atoms within a single experimental setup, benefiting from the EOM's ability to provide higher frequency shifts. This advancement may expand the scope of applications for hot atomic-vapor-based quantum technologies, leveraging the capabilities of the EOM.

However, due to their asymmetry in photon number distribution, a scheme needs to be optimized in order to fully exploit their quantum advantage. Here, we demonstrate a detection scheme for bright pico-second twin beams generated from a fiber optical parametric amplifier, in which the electronic gain of the detecting process is optimized in real time by digital signal processing without accurately calibrating the detection channels.

It is desirable but challenging to directly generate in atoms due to excess noise from spontaneous emission and reabsorption. Here, we report on the use of energy-level modulation to actively control atomic coherence and interference in degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) and then to enhance the DFWM gain process for the generation of near-resonant squeezed twin beams.
