We discuss a new proof of the non-locality of single-photons using a concrete physical observable such as the local energy density. As an illustration of this non-locality, we compute the mean value of the local energy observable for the spontaneous emission from a Hydrogen atom. We find that, in the subspace of single-photon states, the mean value of the local energy density observable is non-zero everywhere and decreases as a power of the distance.
