  A protocol for the creation of time-stationary squeezed states in a spin-1
Bose condensate is proposed. The method consists of a pair of controlled
quenches of an external magnetic field, which allows tuning of the system
Hamiltonian in the vicinity of a phase transition. The quantum fluctuations of
the system are well described by quantum harmonic oscillator dynamics in the
limit of large system size, and the method can be applied to a spin-1 gas
prepared in the low or high energy polar states.
