Jul 18, 2016 at 13:54 comment added Selene Routley @DanielSank It's a probability amplitude, the probability is not oscillatory. If you check out the answer I link, you'll see what it means. It is the amplitude to find a two state system coupled to the EM field in its excited state in the time interval $[t,\,t+d t)$. It sits together with a continuous function $\psi(\omega, t)$ that defines the amplitude to find the EM field mode in frequency interval $[\omega, \omega+d\omega)$ and together they define the quantum state of the whole coupled system.
