摘要

This chapter is an introduction to photons. It starts with the quantum harmonic oscillator associated with each optical mode and declares the photon to be its quantum. The quantum optical mode (qmode) is the basic element of continuous-variable quantum systems, much like the qubit is the basic element of discrete quantum systems.
