AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on recommendations for books specifically about photons, with an emphasis on optics and classical electrodynamics. Participants clarify whether the inquiry pertains to advanced studies or more popular-level texts. Notable suggestions include Richard Feynman's "QED: The Strange Story of Light and Matter," which is accessible yet informative. The conversation highlights the need for resources that cover topics such as interference, diffraction, and advanced diffraction, indicating a preference for comprehensive study materials in these areas.
