Atom–cavity quantum systems play crucial roles across multiple disciplines, serving as platforms for quantum sensing, quantum computing architectures, and quantum communication protocols. The study of dissipative atom–cavity systems has opened new avenues for the development of quantum technologies. Understanding dissipation in such systems remains an active area of research. In this work, we investigate a dissipative qubit-cavity system and compute the time evolution of the excitation probabilities of the cavity, 〈aˆ^†aˆ〉, and the qubit, 〈σˆ₊σˆ₋〉, as functions of the coupling strength and the dissipation rates of both the qubit and the cavity. To explore various dynamical processes, we analyze the effect of the cavity temperature, demonstrating its significant impact on the time evolution of 〈aˆ^†aˆ〉 and 〈σˆ₊σˆ₋〉 at different temperatures. Furthermore, we examine the Wigner function at different times and temperatures to characterize the quantum state. We show that the appearance of quantum state separation in the Wigner function depends on the coupling strength, which can be used to study the generation and annihilation of photons in the cavity. Our findings have important implications for quantum technologies, including quantum metrology and quantum information processing. Crucially, by mapping microscopic parameters such as temperature and coupling strength to network-level figures of merit, our results provide a foundational step toward the design and optimization of quantum nodes for future 5G and 6G systems.
