THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT In August of
1995, a group of over 70 physicists met at York University for a
three-day symposium in honour of Professor Jean-Pierre Vigier. The
attendance included theoretical and experimental physicists,
mathematicians, astronomers and colleagues concerned with issues in
the philosophy of science. The symposium was entitled "The Present
Status of the Quantum Theory of Light" in accordance with Professor
Vigier's wishes but in fact encompassed many of the areas to which
Professor Vigier has contributed over his long and distinguished
career. These include stochastic interpretations of quantum
mechanics, particle physics, and electromagnetic theory. The papers
presented at the symposium have been arranged in this proceedings
in the following approximate order: ideas about the nature of light
and photons, electrodynamiCS, the formulation and interpretation of
quantum mechanics, and aspects of relativity theory. Some of the
papers presented deal with alternate interpretations of quantum
phenomena in the tradition of Vigier, Bohm et al. These
interpretations reject the account given in purely probabilistic
terms and which deems individual quantum events to be acausal and
not amenable to any analysis in space-time terms. As is well known,
Einstein and others also rejected the purely statistical account of
quantum mechanics. As stressed by Professor Vigier at the
symposium, the current experimental situation now allows for the
first time for individual quantum events to be studied, e. g.
