A new approach to the quantum description of resonance multiphoton pro
cesses is suggested. This approach is based on the conditional separat
ion of the degrees of freedom of the photon field into two classes: ''
external'' and ''internal''. The equivalence class for the internal de
grees of freedom is called ''photon cluster''. Hamiltonians for resona
nce multiphoton transitions in two-level systems are formulated in ter
ms of photon clusters, rather than in terms of usual single-photon sta
tes. The supersymmetry of these Hamiltonians is investigated.
