28. We recall that the master equation of Eq. (21) was derived in the standard coarse-grained approximation, where the interaction time of each atom is considered as differential compared to the time scale of the global field dynamics. In this context, the limit t→0 in the two-atom correlations means that the first atom leaves the cavity in the moment in which the second one is entering. In consequence, no decoherence can happen between these two consecutive events.
