Abstract

The co-operative decay of two initially excited quantum sources is studied when they do not have the same resonance frequency. The theory here presented avoids those assumptions which are inherent in the semi-classical approach and shows that, in the presence of detuning, quantum correlations between the sources and the field play a central role. In this first paper particular attention is devoted to the description of the method used as well as to the acquaintance with some physical quantities introduced, in view of their intensive use in the case of a large number of detuned sources, analysed in the following paper.
