Quantum optics 2026-10-18
Quantum optics studies light using quantum states of the electromagnetic field and their interaction with matter. Photon statistics asks how detections fluctuate; the quantum theory of optical coherence relates those detections to field correlations. A coherent state, thermal light, and a Fock state can have the same mean photon number yet different pair counts. This distinction makes photon counting useful for testing sources intended to emit one photon at a time.
