Abstract

We study the dynamics of two-level atomic systems (qubits) subject to a double-layer environment that consists of a network of single-mode cavities coupled to a common reservoir. A general exact master equation for the dynamics of a qubit system can be obtained by the quantum-state-diffusion (QSD) approach, which is extended to our spin-cavity-boson model. The quantumness of the atoms comprising coherence and entanglement is investigated for various configurations of the double-layer environment. The findings indicate that parametric control is available for the preservation and generation of system-quantumness by regulating the cavity network. Moreover the underlying physics is profoundly revealed by an effective model obtained by a unitary transformation. Therefore, our work provides an interesting proposal to protect the quantumness of open systems in the framework of a double-layer environment containing bosonic modes.
