Coherence in Spontaneous Radiation Processes
Open accessAbstract
By considering a radiating gas as a single quantum-mechanical system, energy levels corresponding to certain correlations between individual molecules are described. Spontaneous emission of radiation in a transition between two such levels leads to the emission of coherent radiation. The discussion is limited first to a gas of dimension small compared with a wavelength. Spontaneous radiation rates and natural line breadths are calculated. For a gas of large extent the effect of photon recoil momentum on coherence is calculated. The effect of a radiation pulse in exciting "super-radiant" states is discussed. The angular correlation between successive photons spontaneously emitted by a gas initially in thermal equilibrium is calculated.

Exceptions to the limitation of m include the Dicke model, the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, and the Mølmer-Sørensen interaction.
“Exceptions to this include the Dicke model [40] where collective coherence leads to superradiance, the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model [41], where all particles interact with each other, and the Mølmer-Sørensen interaction [42], in which an ensemble of ions are effectively coupled by a spatially uniform electromagnetic field.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
