The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of the counter-rotating terms on the quantum dynamics of a harmonic oscillator in the presence of a deformed bath. We first obtain the Langevin equation of motion for damped oscillator with and without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). Then, we study the effect of the counter-rotating terms on the diffusion coefficients. Then, we obtain the equation of motion for the harmonic oscillator correlation function with and without the RWA. Finally, we investigate the influence of the counter-rotating terms on the oscillator correlation function.
The time evolution of the atomic dipole moment of a two-level atom damped by an off-resonance squeezed vacuum is studied. Our results are valid for arbitrary detuning between the carrier frequency of the squeezed vacuum and the atomic transition frequency and show that the atomic dipole moment can oscillate with two dominant frequencies. These frequencies are shifted from their central values by an amount which is proportional to the degree of squeezing. We show that this shift of the frequencies is the exact equivalent of the optical Bloch-Siegert shift in the case of the ordinary vacuum damping without the rotating-wave approximation.
