Understanding Quantum Aspects of Electromagnetic Oscillations
Exploring the quantum nature of electromagnetic oscillations through concepts such as wave-particle duality, quantum harmonic oscillators, photon-number states, coherent light, and squeezed light. Delve into non-classical states, vacuum states, potential wells, and more in the fascinating world of quantum mechanics.

Photon Number State Revisited The photon number states are non-classical states. They are highly spread out and bizarre. The expectation value of the position x is zero. The coherent state is needed. Roy Glauber and George Sudharshan. Roy Glauber won the Nobel Prize in 2005.
