    (a) Sketch of the single atom–cavity QED system driven by a broadband squeezed vacuum with central frequency ωsq. The resonance frequency of this two-level atom ωA=ωe−ωg with ℏωα (α=e,g) being the energy of state |α〉. Here, g is the coupling constant between the atom and cavity. γ and κ are the decay rates of the atom and cavity, respectively. Panels (b) and (c) demonstrate the energy levels and the corresponding transition pathways for the empty cavity and the atom–cavity QED system, respectively.
    Panels (a) and (b) show the cavity excitation spectrum, i.e., the mean photon number 〈a†a〉, and the quantum fluctuation of cavity photons |〈aa〉|2 with r=0.2. For the empty cavity (blue dashed curves), the cavity mode frequency is fixed, and Δcav=ωcav−ωsq. In the presence of the atom (red solid curves), we assume ωcav=ωsq and ΔA=Δcav=ωA−ωsq. The system parameters are given by g/κ=15 and γ/κ=1.
