Steady and optimal entropy squeezing of a two-level atom with quantum-jump-based feedback and classical driving in a dissipative cavity

We investigate the entropy squeezing of a two-level atom coupled to a dissipative cavity under two different controls: In the first case, quantum-jump-based feedback is alone applied, whereas in the second case we consider the combined effect of quantum-jump-based feedback and classical driving, in which we provide a scheme to generate and protect steady and optimal entropy squeezing of the two-level atom. The results show that the entropy squeezing of atomic polarization components greatly depends on the control of quantum-jump-based feedback and classical driving. Under the condition of designing proper quantum-jump-based feedback parameters, the entropy squeezing can be generated and protected. Furthermore, when both quantum-jump-based feedback and classical driving are simultaneously applied, steady and optimal entropy squeezing of the two-level atom can be obtained even though there is initially no entropy squeezing, which is explained by making use of the steady-state solution of the atom.
