Spontaneous Emission

Spontaneous Emission is a quantum optical process in which an excited atomic or molecular system irreversibly transitions to a lower energy state by emitting a photon in the absence of an external electromagnetic field, distinguished from stimulated emission by its inherent randomness and independence from incident radiation.
