Atom - light field coupling and emission process

Suppose a "2-state atom" and a light field are quantized with the following Hamiltonians, respectively: $$hat{H}_A=hbaromega_{21}hat{sigma}^{dagger}hat{sigma}$$ and $$hat{H}_R=sum_{textbf{k}}hbaromega_{textbf{k}}(hat{a}^{dagger}_{textbf{k}}hat{a}_{textbf{k}} + frac{1}{2}) .$$ Where $hat{sigma}^{dagger}=left|2rightrangleleftlangle1right|$ and $hat{sigma}=left|1rightrangleleftlangle2right|$, where $left|1rightrangle,left|2rightrangle$ are the 2...

A clock in freefall

Time dilation calculated using Schwarzschild metric for a non rotating spherical body is:$$t_0=t_fsqrt{1-frac{2GM}{rc^2}}$$ For such a non rotating spherical body, what would the time dilation of a...
