Abstract In this paper the dynamics of a trapped two-level atom interacting with a beam of electromagnetic wave of circular polarization is studied. In a frame rotating with the atomic transition frequency $\omega$0, the motion of the atom is governed by a nonlinear coupled Jaynes-Cummings (JC) Hamiltonian. By means of this nonlinear Hamiltonian, we study the atomic inversion, squeezing effect of the vibration mode and that of the atomic dipole, and the phase property as well as its fluctuation of the vibration mode. In the Lamb-Dicke limit, we get the results similar to those of the JC model; beyond the Lamb-Dicke limit, we find the evolution of these quantities becomes very complicated. The nonlinearity weakens the collapse-revival phenomenon of the atomic inversion and the squeezing effect; the evolution of the cosine phase operator becomes less predetermined with its fluctuation not enlarged.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
