In this paper the averages of nonlinear exponential twist of the Liouville function \(\lambda (n)\) \[ S(X,\,\alpha )=\sum\limits_{X\leq n\leq 2X} \lambda (n)e(\alpha\sqrt{n}),\quad 0\neq \alpha\in \mathbb{R}, \] where \(e(z)=e^{2\pi i z}\), is considered. The main result is \[ S(X,\,\alpha )\ll X^{\frac{5}{6}}\log ^{\frac{7}{2}}X+ X^{\frac{3}{4}}\log ^4Z\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{|\alpha|}}+ X^{\frac{3}{4}}\log ^4Z\sqrt{1+|\alpha|}+ X^{\frac{1}{2}+\varepsilon}\bigg( |\alpha|+\frac{1}{|\alpha|} \bigg) \] for any \(\varepsilon>0\), where the implied constant depends only on \(\varepsilon \). To prove it the author used Vaughan's identity for \(\lambda (n)\) and represent sum \(S(X,\,\alpha )\) as sum of tree sums. The second sum is bounded trivially. After some transforms the exponential sums in the rest sums is replied by exponential integrals. So the needed estimate is reduced to evaluate of exponential integrals.
