Entropy squeezing for a two-level atom

摘要

The usual definition of squeezing, based on the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, measures uncertainty in terms of the standard deviation. It can run into difficulties when applied to squeezing in the two-level atom. An alternative definition of squeezing is presented for this system, based on information entropy theory, which overcomes the disadvantages of the definition based on the Heisenberg uncertainty relation. The utility of this definition is illustrated by examining squeezing in the information entropy of a two-level atom in the Jaynes-Cummings model, and in resonance fluorescence. [References: 24]
