Focusing on the unresolved debate between Newton and Huygens from
300 years ago, The Nature of Light: What is a Photon? discusses the
reality behind enigmatic photons. It explores the fundamental
issues pertaining to light that still exist today.
Gathering contributions from globally recognized specialists in
electrodynamics and quantum optics, the book begins by clearly
presenting the mainstream view of the nature of light and photons.
It then provides a new and challenging scientific epistemology that
explains how to overcome the prevailing paradoxes and confusions
arising from the accepted definition of a photon as a monochromatic
Fourier mode of the vacuum. The book concludes with an array of
experiments that demonstrate the innovative thinking needed to
examine the wave-particle duality of photons.
Looking at photons from both mainstream and out-of-box
viewpoints, this volume is sure to inspire the next generation of
quantum optics scientists and engineers to go beyond theCopenhagen
interpretation and formulate new conceptual ideas about
light-matter interactions and substantiate them through inventive
applications.
