Abstract
A brief history is presented of research into processes of interaction betw een radiation and matter and the development of the hypothesis of the quant um nature of emission and absorption. The present state of the quantum theo ry of light and prospects for the development of a grand unified theory are briefly analyzed. (C) 2000 The Optical Society of America. [S1070-9762(00) 02110-2].
