Scientific paper

We introduce photon theory following the same principles as for introduction of the quantum theory of a single particle, using a C*-algebraic approach based on covariance systems. The basic symmetries are additivity of the fields and additivity of test functions. We write down in explicit form a state of this covariance system. It turns out to reproduce the traditional Fock representation of the free photon field, with a Lorentz invariant vacuum. Properties of smeared-out photons are discussed.
