- Summary:
- The video covers the quantum properties of the electromagnetic field, i.e. the quantum properties of light. It is divided in 5 segments. The first segment discusses the quantum electromagnetic field and the associated Fock states. The second segment analyzes the coherent states of light, introduced by Roy Glauber in 1963. In the third segment the author gives a review of the quantum statistical physics for a gas of photons, while the fourth segment derives the thermal energy of a gas of photons and the Planck law of the black body radiation. The last segment investigates the zero-point energy of the electromagnetic field and one of its experimental consequences: the Casimir effect.
