Roy J. Glauber developed a quantum description of photon statistics and optical coherence. His 1963 paper uses coherent states to represent quantum states of the radiation field and relate them to field-correlation measurements. The coherent states form a complete set despite being nonorthogonal. This provides a useful bridge to classical field descriptions while preserving distinctions between quantum and classical photon statistics, rather than characterizing light only by its mean intensity.[ref]
