    "abstract": "We investigate (non-relativistic) atomic systems interacting with quantum\nelectromagnetic field (QEF). The resulting model describes spontaneous emission\nof light from a two-level atom surrounded by various initial states of the QEF.\nWe assume, that the quantum field interacts with the atom via the standard,\nminimal-coupling Hamiltonian, with the $A^2$ term neglected. We also assume,\nthat there will appear at most single excitations (photons). By conducting the\nanalysis on a general level we allow for an arbitrary initial state of the QEF\n(which can be for instance: the vacuum, the ground state in a cavity, or the\nsqueezed state). We derive a Volterra-type equation which governs the time\nevolution of the amplitude of the excited state. The two-point function of the\ninitial state of the QEF, integrated with a combination of atomic\nwavefunctions, forms the kernel of this equation.",
