anshuman365/quantum-ontology-light: The Quantum Ontology of Light: A Critical Review Software

This comprehensive review presents a complete synthesis of light's quantum ontology, tracing the conceptual evolution from the classical wave-particle dichotomy to its ultimate resolution within quantum field theory (QFT). We demonstrate that the apparent paradox of wave-particle duality dissolves completely in the framework of quantum electrodynamics (QED), where the photon emerges as an excitation of the quantized electromagnetic field—a massless gauge boson with helicity ±1 satisfying the U(1) gauge symmetry.
