Can the words 'emission' and 'radiation' be used interchangeably in Quantum Physics?
If not, what is the difference?

They are fairly general terms and there is some overlap unless you specify further. For example, you could say an atom emits a photo, or it radiates a photon, and both are correct.
Oh, thanks! That's what I wanted to know.
