We study the steady-state quantum phase transition of the Jaynes–Cummings–Hubbard model with quantized center-of-mass motions by using a mean-field method. Four different quantum phases emerge due to the interplay between the atom–photon interaction modulated by the center-of-mass motion and the tunneling of photons. Importantly, as the amplitude of the atomic oscillations increases, the phase boundaries will become more and more blurred. We also observed that the phase diagram changes periodically with the change of the relative position between the trap center and the cavity field.
