Quantum Fisher information and coherence of an atom in a dissipative cavity

Abstract

In this work, we investigate quantum Fisher information(QFI) and quantum coherence(QC) of an atom in dissipative cavity. In zero temperature reservior and with one excitation number, we obtain the analytical solutions of QFI and QC as well as their relationship for Ohmic and Lorentzian reservoir, respectively. The results show that both of the atom-cavity coupling and the cavity-reservoir coupling can effectively protect QFI and QC. Especially, QFI and QC will tend to their stable values when the atom-cavity coupling or the cavity-reservoir coupling is larger than a certain value. QC can augment QFI and can effectively improve the quantum metrology. In addition, we give a physical explanation of the dynamic behavior of QFI and QC by using the decoherence rate.
