Abstract

We use the coherent state path integral and a angular model for the spin to solve the generalized Jaynes-Cummings model with a pseudo-hermitian Hamiltonian and nonlinear Kerr cavity. The propagators are given explicitly as perturbation series. These are summed up exactly. The energy spectrum and the bi-orthonormal basis of states are deduced.
