A new method for solution of the quantum electrodynamics equations is proposed. This method makes it possible to avoid the procedure of breaking the quantum correlators and bridges the gap between the theories of Maxwell gases and the theories of superconductivity and superfluidity. As an example, the quantum theory of the Fresnel reflection is considered. It is shown that, even outside the scattering layer, there are the photon states correlated with the scattering layer by means of the quantum correlations. In particular, such photons form two reflected beams previously unknown.
