We have investigated the eigenenergy spectrum of the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model with and without the rotating-wave approximation (RWA). Our analysis has indicated that the counter-rotating term dramatically changes the nature of the RWA energy spectrum and that the non-RWA spectrum can be approximated by the RWA spectrum only in the range of a sufficiently small coupling constant. Furthermore, unlike the one-photon counterpart, the two-photon JC model without the RWA is well defined only if the coupling parameter is below a certain critical value. As a result, the dynamics of the two-photon JC model without the RWA is significantly different from its RWA counterpart. For instance, the counter-rotating term can dramatically enhance the field squeezing effect. Besides, we would expect that the quantum dynamics of the two-photon JC model without the RWA is qualitatively different from that of the usual one-photon case.
