The Present Status of the Quantum Theory of Light Proceedings of a Symposium in Honour of Jean-Pierre Vigier / edited by Stanley Jeffers, S. Roy, J.P. Vigier, G. Hunter.

THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE QUANTUM THEORY OF LIGHT In August of 1995, a group of over 70 physicists met at York University for a three-day symposium in honour of Professor Jean-Pierre Vigier. The attendance included theoretical and experimental physicists, mathematicians, astronomers and colleagues c...
