👉 In quantum mechanics, a boson is an entity that behaves like a photon in the absence of electromagnetic radiation. They are particles that cannot be described by light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The term comes from the prefix "bos-" which means "without," as they do not have mass but can exist as a particle. In quantum mechanics, bosons are fundamental entities and represent all particles, including electrons, positrons, and photons. They are also called fermions because they cannot be described
