In other words, they are not thought of as independent of matter, to tell the truth. | |

Or do you just find wikipedia unsatisfying?: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon#The_photon_as_a_gauge_boson . As to the first question, one striking difference is that the duality refers to actual particles whereas excitations are not real particles (hence the term 'quasi'). | |
