Understanding light quanta:Construction of the free electromagnetic field

Published 2005-03-02, updated 2005-04-15Version 2

The free electromagnetic field, solution of Maxwell's equations and carrier of energy, momentum and spin, is construed as an emergent collective property of an ensemble of photons, and with this, the consistency of an interpretation that considers that the photons, and not the electromagnetic fields, are the primary ontology is established.
