Study on the Essence of Photons and the Wave-Particle Duality of Light
photon; wave-particle duality; quantum mechanics
Abstract
Why do photons exist? Classical physics gives a derivation, but can not explain the essence and strange properties of photons. Quantum theory suggests that photons are nonlocal particle and differ significantly from ordinary microscopic particles. However, no theory can provide a concrete image of the photon, which causes difficulties in the definition of a single photon. Photons can be obtained from light pulses, the number of which follows the Poisson distribution, and can also be defined from the light power, the photons is actually a kind of weakest light source.
