There is at most one field photon in b. Projection onto its one-photon sector gives

Before detector absorption, the normalized conditional joint state is up to an overall phase. A destructive photon count changes the field to its vacuum but leaves the atom in . This conditional state is meaningful whenever the one-photon outcome has nonzero probability.
