9. 0(t) is the probability density for the first photon. After an emission the atom has to be reset, here to its ground state, and then the conditional time development resumes. In this way, one can simulate an emission sequence and the corresponding Bloch (master) equation for the atom.
10. I(x) may be also interpreted as a dwell time density for the excited state at x [6]
