Answer by Gec for Why do electrons fall from a high excitation to a lower one?

I want to add about spontaneous emission. Excited states of atoms are not stationary states because of atoms are not isolated QM systems. There always is interaction with electromagnetic field. Schrodinger equation for atoms in simplest form takes into account only Coulomb interaction between electrons and nucleus. In this simplified approach excited states are stationary and spontaneous emission has no place.
