    "abstract": "James Clerk Maxwell unknowingly discovered a correct relativistic, quantum\ntheory for the light quantum, forty-three years before Einstein postulated the\nphoton\u0027s existence. In this theory, the usual Maxwell field is the quantum wave\nfunction for a single photon. When the non-operator Maxwell field of a single\nphoton is second quantized, the standard Dirac theory of quantum optics is\nobtained. Recently, quantum-state tomography has been applied to experimentally\ndetermine photon wave functions.",
