Focusing on the concept of light quanta, the book offers a thorough historical overview and critical analysis of key principles like complementarity and quantization. It explores the contributions of notable physicists such as Wigner, Newton, and Wightman regarding localized states. The author introduces innovative ideas, including a novel definition of the position operator, and challenges the compatibility of light quanta with current spatial concepts in quantum physics. This work aims to engage both students and researchers, stimulating discourse on the foundations of modern physics.
