Authors:
- Uses a wave picture for the visualization of all quantum states of light including a single photon
- Shows that a particle such as a single photon can create a light wave
- Explains nonclassical states of light such as a Schrödinger’s cat state
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
