Abstract

We investigate the effect of quantum-jump-based feedback on the dynamics of quantum discord for two noninteracting two-level atoms coupled to a single mode of the cavity field with and without the rotating-wave approximation. It is found that the counterrotating terms can be helpful for generating steady states, and the value of steady-state quantum discord can be increased to approach 1 in the long-time limit by feedback controls. Furthermore, we also explore the influence of the time evolutions of mean excitation number in total systems and atomic subsystems on the quantum correlations and show that the enhancement of mean excitation number in atomic subsystems by feedback controls leads to the high value of steady-state quantum discord.
