            Abstract : 
The steady state performance of a two-state quantum system interacting with a thermal bath at a fixed temperature and with a classical electromagnetic wave is analyzed by the harmonic balance technique. Thus the time-variant equations can be solved to any chosen approximation and the corrections to be brought to the classical RWA approximation to take into account the effect of the counter-rotating field can be calculated.
