Suppression of quantum dissipation: A cooperative effect of quantum squeezing and quantum measurement

Abstract

The ability to isolate a quantum system from its environment is of fundamental interest and importance in optical quantum science and technology. Here we propose an experimentally feasible scheme for beating environment-induced dissipation in an open two-level system coupled to a parametrically driven cavity. The mechanism relies on a novel cooperation between light-matter coupling enhancement and frequent measurements. We demonstrate that, in the presence of the cooperation, the system dynamics can be completely dominated by the effective system-cavity interaction and the dissipative effects from the system-environment coupling can be surprisingly ignored. This work provides a generic method of dissipation suppression in a variety of quantum mechanical platforms, including natural atoms and superconducting circuits.
