Take the driving and feedback strengths to be real, so the feedback Quantum Hamiltonian is Hermitian. The lowering operator satisfies . Using the supplied convention for ,The additional Quantum Hamiltonian term is consequentlyWith no drift Quantum Hamiltonian, the total Quantum Hamiltonian is just . The feedback-modified Lindblad operator isSubstitution into the measurement-feedback equation givesThus the feedback affects the Lindblad dissipator even though its extra coherent Quantum Hamiltonian contribution cancels. This is a concrete mechanism of Markovian reservoir engineering, rather than merely a classical control force added to an unchanged dissipative equation.
