In this work, an ensemble of 500000 spin-squeezed atoms in a high-finesse optical cavity with near-uniform atom-cavity coupling is prepared, released into free space, recaptured in the cavity, and probed. Up to ∼10 dB of metrologically relevant squeezing is retrieved for 700μs free-fall times, and decaying levels of squeezing are realized for up to 3 ms free-fall times. The degradation of squeezing results from loss of atom-cavity coupling homogeneity between the initial squeezed state generation and final collective state readout. A theoretical model is developed to quantify this degradation and this model is experimentally validated.","lang":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank N. Engelsen for comments on the manuscript.
