May 28, 2018 at 14:35 comment added Wolpertinger Great answer and nice references! Just one question: You say "Stimulated emission in full QED can be studied only in the context of bound states." -> why? Can you not have a long lived resonance state instead of a true bound state?

May 25, 2018 at 15:12 comment added David C. That is fascinating indeed. I guess my tree level diagram is essentially wrong or at least incomplete, then. Thanks for this information; I'm inspired and you answered half my question. If anyone feels inclined to remedy this poorly understood mess and figures out a field theory description of stimulated emission—I may not be able to give you a Nobel prize but I will at least say that you answered the rest of my question and did field theory a great and needed service :)
May 24, 2018 at 14:30 comment added Adam Do you know any good and recent review on this problem of bound-state in QFT ? I find it fascinating that it might be so poorly understood.
