The Jaynes-Cummings model is one of the most elementary quantum mechanical models light-matter interaction. It describes a single two-level atom that interacts with a single harmonic-oscillator mode of a electromagnetic cavity.
The Hamiltonian for a two-level system in its eigenbasis can be written as
$$ H = \frac{1}{2}\omega_q \sigma_z $$and the Hamiltonian of a quantum harmonic oscillator (cavity) is
$$ H = \hbar\omega_r (a^\dagger a + 1/2) $$The atom interacts with the electromagnetic field produced by the cavity mode $a + a^\dagger$ through its dipole moment. The dipole-transition operators is $\sigma_x$ (which cause a transition from the two dipole states of the atom). The combined atom-cavity Hamiltonian can therefore be written in the form
$$ H = \hbar\omega_r (a^\dagger a + 1/2) + \frac{1}{2}\hbar\Omega\sigma_z + \hbar g\sigma_x(a + a^\dagger) $$Although the Jaynes-Cumming Hamiltonian allow us to evolve the given initial state according to the Schrödinger Equation, in an experiment we would like to predicte the response of the coupled cavity-qubit system under the influence of driving fields for the cavity and qubit, and also account for the effects of dissipation and dephasing (not treated here)
The external coherent-state input may be incorporated in the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian by addition of terms involving the amplitude of the driving field $\vec{E_d} \left(\vec{E_s}\right)$ and it's frequency $\omega_d\left(\omega_s\right)$
$$ H_{cavity} = E_d \left(e^{i\omega_dt}a +e^{-i\omega_dt}\right) $$$$ H_{qubit} = E_s \left(e^{i\omega_st}a +e^{-i\omega_st}\right) $$To obtain the Jaynes-Cumming Hamiltonian
$$ H = \hbar\omega_r (a^\dagger a + 1/2) %-\frac{1}{2}\Delta\sigma_x + \frac{1}{2}\hbar\Omega\sigma_z + \hbar g(\sigma_+ a + \sigma_- a^\dagger) $$we also need to perform a rotating-wave approximation which simplifies the interaction part of the Hamiltonian. In the following we will begin with looking at how these two Hamiltonians are related.
To represent the atom-cavity Hamiltonian in SymPy we creates an instances of the operator classes BosonOp and SigmaX, SigmaY, and SigmaZ, and use these to construct the Hamiltonian (we work in units where $\hbar = 1$).

This is the Jaynes-Cumming model give above, and we have now seen that it is obtained to the dipole interaction Hamiltonian through the rotating wave approximation.
In the dispersive regime, where the two-level system is detuned from the cavity by much more than the interaction strength, $\Delta \gg g$, an effective Hamiltonian can be dervied which describes the Stark shift of the two-level system (which depends on the number of photons in the cavity) and the frequency shift of the cavity (which depend on the state of the two-level system).
This effective Hamiltonian, which is correct up to second order in the small paramter $g/\Delta$, is obtained by performing the unitary transformation
$$ U = e^{\frac{g}{\Delta}(a \sigma_- - a^\dagger \sigma_+)} $$

This is the Hamiltonian of the Jaynes-Cummings model in the the dispersive regime. It can be interpreted as the resonator having a qubit-state-dependent frequency shift, or alternatively that the qubit is feeling a resonator-photon-number dependent Stark-shift.
