Abstract

We show that there is only one operator having some minimal properties enabling it to be a one photon position operator. These proerties are stated, and the solution is shown to be the photon position operator proposed by Pryce. This operator has non-commuting components. Nevertheless, it is shown that one can find states localized with an arbitrary precision.
