Abstract
In the language of quantum information theory we study the entropy squeezing of a two-level atom in a Kerr-like medium. A definition of squeezing is presented for this system, based on information theory. The utility of the definition is illustrated by examining the entropy squeezing of a two-level atom with a Kerr-like medium. The influence of the non-linear interaction of the Kerr medium, the atomic coherence and the detuning parameter on the properties of the entropy and squeezing of the atomic variables is examined.
