Intro to Quantum Mechanics II
Fock states are quantum states that represent a specific number of particles in a given mode of a quantum field, typically used in the context of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. They provide a way to describe the quantization of fields, especially in the electromagnetic field, where photons are treated as indistinguishable particles. Each Fock state is labeled by a non-negative integer, which denotes the number of particles present, making them essential for understanding particle statistics and interactions.
congrats on reading the definition of Fock states. now let's actually learn it.
