Using a single photon detector connected to a loudspeaker you can “hear” the quanta of light, single photons! Experts will be around to answer and discuss all your questions – for instance on how we detect single photons, how bright single photons are, the wave-particle duality of light, and how classical light can contain a random number of photons.
