Abstract
The movement of a two-level atom interacting with an electromagnetic wave and subject to gravitation is studied using the path-integral formalism. The propagator is first of all written in the standard form $\int {\cal D} ({\mathrm {path}})\exp ({\mathrm i} / {\hbar})S({\mathrm {path}}) $ by replacing the spin by two fermionic oscillators; then it is determined exactly due to the auxiliary equation which has a cylindric parabolic function as a solution.
