- under the heading: "Catching The Quantum Sound Wave",
Ruskov & Tahu mention....

"That light is composed of photons is made clear when a single atom is
shown to radiate one photon at a time." cited from Kimble, Degenais,
Mandel, Phys Rev Lett (1977).

I expect this will appeal to the "Light [i.e. E-M waves] is quantized"
band of enthusiasts.
