One archetypal scheme generates squeezing via collective one-axis twisting interactions. However, we show that in implementations using optical transitions in long-lived atoms the achievable squeezing is fundamentally limited by collectively enhanced emission into the cavity mode which is generated in parallel with the cavity-mediated spin-spin interactions. We propose an alternative scheme which generates a squeezed state that is protected from collective emission, and investigate its sensitivity to realistic sources of experimental noise and imperfections.}, year = {2018}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {121}, month = {2018-08}, issn = {0031-9007}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.070403}, }
