The quantum of light is called a photon .

光的量子就称为光子。

A photon is a quantum of light, or the smallest possible packet of light at a given wavelength.

光子就是光量子，或者以特定波长可能存在的最小的光信息体。

Here, the strong coupling of quantum bits with light quanta plays a pivotal role.

在这里，量子比特与光量子的强耦合起着举足轻重的作用。

So, we'll take a little bit of a step back after we introduce quantum mechanics, and talk about light as a wave, and the characteristic of waves, and then light as a particle. And one example of this is in the photoelectric effect.

等我们介绍完量子力学后,我们要回过头来讨论下光,作为一种波和它的波动性特征,以及光作为一种粒子,其中的一个粒子就是光电效应。

This is because, in the wacky world of quantum physics, light is wavy as well as particulate.

ECONOMIST: Microelectronics grows up

The practical applications could improve the efficiency of quantum computers, where light is often used to transfer information.

ENGADGET: Researchers capture a single atom's shadow, has implications for quantum computers

The "quantum states" of atoms, light particles known as photons, molecules and even objects big enough to be seen have been extensively studied.
