We investigate a two-level system in a cavity QED by considering the effects of amplitude damping, phase damping and driving field. We have studied the non-Markovianity in resonance and non-resonance limits in the presence of these effects using Breuer–Laine–Piilo (BLP) non-Markovianity measure ( N _BLP). The evolution...
