Stimulated emission can be defined as the process when an incoming photon stimulates an additional quantum of energy from an atom into the same electromagnetic mode as the impinging photon. Hence, the two outgoing photons are identical. In…
We discuss an experimental setup where two laser-driven atoms spontaneously emit photons and every photon causes a ``click'' at a point on a screen. By deriving the probability density for an emission into a certain direction from basic…
