Full Rundown of Light as a Quantum

[42Physics]

If I could get anything and everything you guys know about light being quantum or the behavior of light with time. I need everything, doing a huge paper and I need some useful information. Google just turns up trolls.

It might help if you give us some information about your background and level of physics education.

(I could mention the "bible" of quantum optics by Mandel & Wolf:

but that's a graduate-level text.)

You're going to have to do better than "please summarize a book or two for me".
