摘要：

We describe a procedure for creating pairs of condensates with appreciable relative number squeezing. We show that our procedure is relatively robust against the effects of loss and may therefore prove to be a practical way of generating such states. We use a quantum simulation for small numbers that enables us to validate a semiclassical model. This is used to predict the scaling for large numbers.
