We derive a theory for mapping a quantum state of nonclassical light onto a collective, excited atomic state via complete absorption of the light. We allow for an arbitrary polarization-squeezed state of light and an arbitrary spin of the atomic ground state. The present derivation thereby generalizes the results of Kuzmich et al . We compare the theory to the recently published experimental results on atomic spin squeezing.
