Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the effects of incoherent pumping on quantum correlations in a $\Lambda$-type atomic system driven by coherent and incoherent fields simultaneously. With the adiabatic elimination treatment, we show that the stable “one-way” Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering is generated without the requirement of good cavity limitation. More interestingly, the asymmetrical EPR steering is simply controlled by the polarized angle of the incoherent field. The internal mechanisms can be understood based on dressed-state representation, in which the population differences are strongly modified by the quantum interference from incoherent pumping. The phase-sensitive quantum correlations in the present scheme may find potential applications in quantum information processing.
