In models of (non-relativistic and pseudo-relativistic) electrons interacting
with static nuclei and with the (ultraviolet-cutoff) quantized radiation field,
the existence of asymptotic electromagnetic fields is established. Our results
yield some mathematically rigorous understanding of Rayleigh scattering and of
the phenomenon of relaxation of isolated atoms to their ground states. Our
proofs are based on propagation estimates for electrons inspired by similar
estimates known from $N$-body scattering theory.
