Abstract
We discuss a simple example demonstrating that spontaneous emission from "space-time-superposed" atomic center-of-mass wave packets is nontrivially and time-dependent modified with respect to the standard dipole-pattern typical of "space-superposed" wave packets. Our approach provides an approximate description of a nonsimultaneous interaction of electromagnetic field with different parts of a wave packet.
