Abstract
We study the interaction between a two-level system and a harmonic oscillator without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). In quantum optics, this model (sometimes called the spin-boson model) is traditionally thought of as a two-Ievel atom coupled to a single-mode radiation field, but it could also describe (1) a two-level ion in a trap coupled to the motion of its own center of mass or (2) a two-level particle in a solid coupled to a phonon mode. For sufficiently strong coupling, this model is known to exhibit chaos in a variety of semi-classical approximations.1
