THE PHOTON SHEDS LIGHT ON THE QUANTUM: Fluctuations and correlations tell the story

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The study of fluctuations and correlations has historically been a royal road into quantum mechanics. Planck fit the spectrum of thermal light by focusing on its entropy. Einstein used Planck’s entropy to calculate the fluctuations of thermal radiation and discovered the particle nature of light.
