- W2130470886 abstract "It is staggering to consider the degree to which civilization has evolved in the approximately 90 years since Niels Bohr’s ad hoc quantization of atoms based on experimentally measured line spectra The changes that have occurred, including the growth of our knowledge of the micro and macro material worlds and the emergence of new technologies, have progressed far beyond the imagination of people living at the turn of the 20 th century. In the 21 st century, the pace of development will accelerate as a result of the rapid evolution of photonics. Yet the underlying science of the field is still Maxwell’s classical electromagnetism, not the fieldquantized photon. We can certainly expect new photon-led breakthroughs in which the quantized nature of photons is intrinsically important, e.g., quantum encryption. The issue is important both in the scientific and in the technology driven socio-economic contexts. Writing a semi-popular article on the nature of the photon is a difficult task. We are very thankful that a number of renowned scientists have accepted the challenge and written five superb articles for all of us to enjoy. Each article in this issue of OPN Trends presents a somewhat different selection of facts and illuminates historical events with interesting comments. As for the photon itself, we find here a variety of approaches that place it in different contexts. There are descriptions of the photon based on experiments that have used progressively refined probes to measure the interaction of light with matter. We also find descriptions of theoretical advances that have required an ever increasing understanding of the role of light in the conceptual framework of the physical universe as we view it today. We invite our readers to embark on an exciting adventure. Before reading these articles, jot down what you think are the most pertinent facts you have learned about photons. Then read the articles in this issue in any order that appeals you. How deeply you engage yourself in this task depends on you. We ourselves are certain that we will revisit the articles and read them again for many years. At any stage of your reading, write down what you think of the photon as a result of what you have read here and what you have learned from other sources, for the photon is not an object that can be pinned down like a material object, say, a beautiful butterfly in a collection. The photon tells us, “I am who I am!” in no uncertain terms and invites us to get better acquainted with it. The chronicle will surely amuse and amaze you, for you will re" @default.
