This lecture covers the quantization of the harmonic oscillator, introducing creation and annihilation operators, normalizing the Hamiltonian, and deriving wavefunctions for excited states. It also explores Fock states, vacuum energy, and the effects due to vacuum energy on the electromagnetic field.
