摘要: We study long-time limit behavior of the solution of atom's master equation, for the first time we derive that the probability of the atom being in the α-th (α =j+1-jz, j is the angular momentum quantum number, jz is the z-component of angular momentum) state is {(1-K/G)/[1-(K/G)2j+1]}(K/G)α-1 as t→+∞, which coincides with the fact that when K/G > 1, the larger the α is, the larger probability of the atom being in the α-th state (the lower excited state). We also consider the case for some possible generalizations of the atomic master equation.
