Abstract
Quantum jumps in the fluorescence from two three-level atoms may display cooperative effects, such as unusual intensity levels and transitions from a state with both atoms radiating directly to darkness. However, to see these experimentally, the atoms have to be well within a wavelength of light.Keywords
