This was the first paper we read in Ozgur Mustecaplioglu's graduate quantum optics class.

@G_Taylor_91 A really useful resource from @NIST - I not sure Willis Lamb would approve though! #antiphoton https://t.co/t7yr4SuVUs
@jbeardsleymath or photons, although the model is reasonably effective https://t.co/tLLnqUYN44
RT @j_bertolotti: @ququland @skdh As quantized excitations of a wavefront or a electromagnetic mode. https://t.co/RiqBe8pcEe
Why i love quantum physics because i was wrong after all these time

"Objects like electrons [...], or helium atoms can, under suitable conditions, be considered to be particles, since their theories then have viable non-relativistic and non-quantum limits." —Lamb 1995, Anti-photon, https://t.co/ZsJSR78Xxw
@johncarlosbaez Relevant paper 😉 (Sadly, paywalled) https://t.co/BP6SHmhRVl

@r1cc4rd0 @sylvaingigan @LundeenOttawa I can tell you what a photon is NOT 🙃 https://t.co/PvIYyUqUVn
"It should be apparent from the title.. the author does not like the use of the word “photon”. In his view, there is no such thing as a photon. Only a comedy of errors and historical accidents led to its popularity among physicists and optical scientists"
@DrQz @fermatslibrary From this paper: https://t.co/FfiaNqY2rX
the term photon was then coined by G Lewis to be able to add them to one side of a chemical reaction, which has led to generations of chemists doing light-matter interactions wrong! light is mostly a wave everyone! https://t.co/U0FRaAoWQM

@0xDBFB7 Hard question 🙂 Not sure I have an absolute favourite, but the first that I appears in my mind is this paper from Lamb: https://t.co/BP6SHmhRVl A subtle and often misunderstood point explained clearly and concisely.
@chris_bore @mickeykats I have a very strong opinion on how badly misused the word "photon" is 🙂 https://t.co/PvIYyUqUVn
A paper from the 80s (and earlier ones from the 60s) by Lamb showing that the photoelectric effect can be explained without photons. The atom energy levels are quantized, but the EM wave can be described classically. I had no idea... https://t.co/VzHgiwDm7
Nobel Laureate W. E. Lamb telling us that "photons", while convenient, do not actually exist. He worked with G.N. Lewis who came up with the name. https://t.co/GtCZdEgClO https://t.co/VvciQEHcWu

@vdbv @HiramPurkeypile @abbybeall @mickeykats The best reference I know on why the "little ball of energy zipping around" picture of the photon is wrong, is "Anti-photon" by W. E. Lamb Jr. (who knew a thing or two about quantum mechanics 🙂) 7/7 (the end) h
If you want to talk properly about light performing a random walk you need to introduce a quasiparticle known as "diffuson". [Reference] * https://t.co/rVy4HEmRVq * https://t.co/lM9Dy18Moc
@paulcoxon Do we even need it to explain our observations? 🤔 I talk about it everyday, but some have argued that we don't actually need it: https://t.co/7Kl7uyMNNJ W. E. Lamb Jr. , "Anti-photon" app. phys. B 1995.
