Protecting the Quantum Coherence of Two Atoms Inside an Optical Cavity by Quantum Feedback Control Combined with Noise-Assisted Preparation

We propose a theoretical scheme to enhance quantum coherence and obtain steady-state coherence by combining quantum feedback control and noise-assisted preparation. We investigate the effects of quantum-jump-based feedback control and noise field on the quantum coherence and excited-state population between two atoms inside an optical cavity where a noise field drives one, and the other is under quantum feedback control. It is found that steady quantum coherence can be achieved by adding an external noise field, and the quantum feedback can prolong the coherence time with partial suppression of the spontaneous emission of atoms. In addition, we study the influence of the joint action of quantum feedback and noise-assisted preparation on quantum coherence and show that the combined action of feedback control and noise-assisted preparation is more effective in enhancing steady coherence. The findings of our research offer some general guidelines for improving the steady-state coherence of coupled qubit systems and have the potential to be applied in the realm of quantum information technology.
