Hi everyone
Is there anyone who can explain when does Spontaneously generated coherence(SGC) happen and how?
Thank you in advance

Thank you dear Greg for your comment,
actually I started to study more about it and found that SGC happens when we are dealing with decays in an atom, when a three level Landa type atom (for example) decays to lower levels and the final state of the atom becomes a coherent superposition of states, we will have SGC , I came up with another question that "What makes a superposition of states a coherent superposition?" , and I wrote it in the forum too.now as I am more investigating I face more challenges that I have asked under the title of:" What makes a superposition of states a coherent superposition?"
Thank you again and if anyone can help me on this question too , I will appreciate .
