Abstract
We discuss the spatial properties of quantum radiation emitted by a multipole transition in a single atom. It is shown that the polarization of multipole radiation and quantum fluctuations of polarization change with distance from the source. In the case of a transition specified by a given quantum number m, the quantum noise of polarization contains contributions coming from the modes with m′ ≠ m as well.
