I think the link is simpler and more analogous than that - it's a not a big nor a small but a definite jump, without significant intermediate steps. [[Special:Contributions/212.250.220.116|212.250.220.116]] ([[User talk:212.250.220.116|talk]]) 13:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
== Removed obscure sentence ==
I removed the following sentence. It is expressed obscurely (what is "doubt"?) and it does not give any context or motivation. It appears to concern stimulated emission (or absorption) in an individual atom, so it would be quite interesting to see it explained.
:''The prediction expressed in the paper<ref>http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.54.1023 - Richard J. Cook, H. J. Kimble, 1985</ref> and doubt was present in the 1980s.<ref>http://tf.boulder.nist.gov/general/pdf/2723.pdf - Early observations of macroscopic quantum jumps in single atoms</ref> Nevertheless it was shown experimentally, that the fluorescence rate of a single atom can not be calculated by [[Maxwell-Bloch equations]].
