Abstract
A quantum model of N two-level atoms coupled by a single-mode radiation field under a restricted rotating-wave approximation is studied, assuming a dipole-interaction approximation and that the total number of excitations of the system is conserved. A solution is found for the case of spontaneous emission when the atoms are initially prepared in the state of complete inversion. This solution is valid for all times. A general solution of the model is also found for any initial configuration of the system, in the cases of both spontaneous and stimulated emission. This solution is in a closed form and valid for times tau < tau max.Keywords
