👉 The `nc:light_particles` light particles are a conceptual framework within the NeurIPS Light Library, designed to simulate and model the behavior of photons, the fundamental particles that make up light. These particles represent discrete packets of electromagnetic energy, each carrying a specific amount of energy and momentum. In simulations, they interact with matter in ways that mimic real-world optical phenomena, such as absorption, scattering, and emission. By using `nc:light_particles`, researchers and developers can create detailed models of light-matter interactions, which are crucial for applications ranging from optical communications to quantum computing and imaging technologies. These particles are typically represented with properties like wavelength, polarization, and energy, allowing for precise control and analysis in computational settings.
