Abstract
Applying the method of coherent states orthogonalization expansion,the atomic population and the antibunching effect of the light field are studied in the system of interaction between a two-level atom and the Schrdinger cat state without rotating wave approximation( RWA). The results are compared with those in RWA.The influences of the original strength of the light field and two coherent phase angles on the atomic population and antibunching effect with RWA and without RWA are discussed respectively,and the antibunching effect in the weak coupling condition is also discussed without RWA. The results show that the atomic populations with RWA and without RWA have different properties with the different original strengths of the light field. As the original strength of the light field is smaller,the atomic populations with RWA and without RWA show the same properties,but with the increase of the original strength of the light field the population with RWA will show the collapse phenomenon. When the coupling strength is larger,the antibunching effects with RWA and without RWA have bigger difference. Without RWA the light field will appear bunching effect,whereas with RWA it will appear alternately the bunching effect and the antibunching effect with the increase of the original strength of light field.
