Abstract
In a classical model, the dynamics of the hydrogen atom subjected to a circularly polarized microwave field and a magnetic field is shown to belong to the family of so-called biparametric quadratic Hamiltonians. The energy-level structure is studied in terms of the parametric bifurcations.
