The discussion centers on the fundamental structure of photons, emphasizing that photons are considered elementary particles, though their internal structure remains unknown. Participants highlight that photons behave as quantum wave bunches and suggest researching photon structure functions for insights into their interactions. Victor J. Kairé S. seeks further information and potential contacts for ongoing investigations into photon structure. The conversation underscores the evolving understanding of photons in the context of quantum physics.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, researchers in quantum mechanics, and students interested in the fundamental properties of light and particle physics will benefit from this discussion.

There are no "elementary" particles. We call them so because as of today we don't know their structure yet.
All we know they all are a quantum wavebunch interacting with each other certain way. But one day we may learn about their structure whether it is string(s), or state(s) of vacuum, or space-time topology unit(s), etc.
