Photonics The Nature of Light What is a Photon? Edited by
Chandra Roychoudhuri, A.F. Kracklauer, and Kathy Creath Series: Optical Science and Engineering
Gathering contributions from globally recognized specialists in electrodynamics and quantum optics, this volume continues the debate on the definition of a photon and the concept of wave-particle duality. After covering the mainstream view of the nature of light and photons, it presents a challenging scientific epistemology that explains how to overcome prevailing paradoxes and confusion arising from the accepted definition of a photon as a monochromatic Fourier mode of the vacuum. It concludes with an array of experiments that demonstrate the innovative thinking needed to examine the wave-particle duality of photons.
Features • Continues the debate on the definition of a photon and the concept of wave-particle duality • Defines a single indivisible quantum of light and details how its characteristics must change at every step of interaction with material dipoles • Examines inconsistencies embedded within the current definition for a photon, such as noncausality, nonlocality, delayed-choice, and teleportation • Offers a novel methodology of organizing incomplete information and framing it into a theory with human logics, helping to redefine physics as discovering reality in nature rather than inventing it • Explores pioneering concepts and experiments to validate the necessity of reopening the scientific debate on the apparently resolved wave-particle duality of photons
