Quantum phase transition and entanglement entropy in the Dicke model with a squeezed light

Superradiant phase transition and entanglement entropy in the Dicke model with a squeezed light are investigated. We find a special rotation coordinate system mapping the original Hamiltonian into an effective dual-oscillator Hamiltonian in the thermodynamic limit. We analytically derive the eigenenergy and eigenstate of the ground state. The ground state is demonstrated to undergo superradiant phase transition at a nonlinear critical boundary collectively induced by the squeezed driving and qubit-field coupling. This phase boundary requires neither large qubit-field detuning nor strong squeezed driving. An exact expression of the ground-state entropy is obtained. We demonstrate that the squeezed light enhances the qubit-field entanglement entropy linearly. Graphical abstract
