Roy Glauber

the video is 45 minutes long and I believe the title is "100 years of light quanta"

 

it was 100 years ago in 1905 that Einstein proposed explaining the photoelectric effect by picturing light energy arriving in packages, in size proportional to the frequency of the light.

 

hence lasers and the field of quantum optics and a century later people are still getting Nobel prizes for developing the consequences of that idea. so it might be an interesting talk, if it gives an historical perspective on that.

 

I can't say because I didnt watch it yet. Has anyone checked it out?
