A Fock state, also known as a "number state," is a specific type of quantum state in quantum mechanics that represents a definite number of particles or excitations in a given system. The concept is particularly relevant in the context of quantum field theory and quantum optics, where it is used to describe states of bosonic fields, such as photons in a mode of a laser or phonons in a condensed matter system.
