摘要:
This paper is a discussion of that perennial question, ‘‘Why does an excited atom radiate?’’ A satisfactory physical picture emerges when proper account is taken of the interplay between radiation reaction and the (quantum‐mechanical) zero‐point fluctuations of the radiation field. The fluctuation‐dissipation connection between these two effects is therefore emphasized.
