contents One-axis twisting (OAT) interaction is a pivotal resource for manipulating quantum states of atomic ensembles, enabling spin squeezing, atomic-cat-state generation, and weak-phase amplification. Current implementations of OAT dynamics predominantly rely on the Tavis-Cummings model of light-atoms coupling; however, this approach inevitably introduces an additional Stark term that entangles the light with the atoms, which compromises the unitarity of OAT evolution and thereby degrades the OAT-based control precision. Here we propose a scheme based on a driven Tavis-Cummings model to achieve near-unitary OAT evolution. We demonstrate that both constant and time-varying driving of an atoms-cavity hybrid system can realize near-unitary OAT evolution, albeit with distinct coupling strength. Furthermore, when atomic dissipation is taken into account, we find that the time-varying-driving scheme exhibits superior resistance to decoherence. Our approach is broadly applicable to a variety of atomic platforms, including cold atoms, trapped ions, and nitrogen-vacancy centers.
