Abstract
Understanding of light-matter interaction is a keystone in mastering classical and quantum optics. This paper gives an overview of the fundamental principles used in these two fields for description of light-matter interaction. By exploring the simplest type of matter composed of charge-free particles bearing magnetic moments only, differences in the fundamental principles of classical and quantum optics are discussed and clarified.
