Abstract
27 The suppression of spontaneous emission of a sin� gle quantum particle due to its Stark interaction with the vacuum electromagnetic field with zero photon density was predicted in my previous work [1]. The rate of spontaneous emission is reduced owing to the quantum interference between the real transition from the excited state to the ground energy level with the emission of a photon and radiationless virtual transi� tions (back to the excited state). However, in the case of a single ordinary atom, its Stark interaction with the vacuum electromagnetic field is much weaker than the typical Rabi energy associated with the rate of the quantum transition from the excited state to the ground state. The Stark interaction is the second� order effect in the field, whereas the Rabi energy is of the first order in the field.
