quantum states of light
Quantum states of light refer to the distinct and discrete energy levels or configurations that photons, which are individual particles of light, can exist in according to quantum mechanics. These states describe various characteristics such as the number of photons, their energy, polarization, and phase, providing a framework to understand and manipulate the behavior of light on a quantum level.
