Resumen

Classical model of light in helicity formalism is presented. Then quantum mechanical point of view at photons – construction and interpretation of two equivalent photon wave functions are proposed. Quantum mechanics of photon is investigated. The Białynicki – Birula scalar product (Formula presented.) and the generalized Hermitian conjugation (Formula presented.) of linear operator (Formula presented.) are discussed. Quantum description of light on a phase space based on the Weyl – Wigner – Moyal approach is developed. A photon Wigner function is built. Some explicit photon Wigner functions for different kernels are obtained.
