  • 9781108842587
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • Ref 530.12 K83q 2023
Contents:
1. Quantum-enabled technologies -- 2. Electron waves and Schrödinger's equation -- 3. Mathematical machinery and conceptual foundations -- 4. Basics of quantum information processing -- 5. Propagating electron waves in engineered potentials -- 6. Light-matter interaction -- 7. Quantum states in technological materials.
Summary: "Discover the foundations of quantum mechanics, and explore how these principles are powering a new generation of advances in quantum engineering, in this ground-breaking undergraduate textbook. It explains physical and mathematical principles using cutting-edge electronic, optoelectronic and photonic devices, linking underlying theory with real-world applications; focuses on current technologies and avoids historic approaches, getting students quickly up-to-speed to tackle contemporary engineering challenges; provides an introduction to the foundations of quantum information, and a wealth of real-world quantum examples, including quantum well infrared photodetectors, solar cells, quantum teleportation, quantum computing, band gap engineering, quantum cascade lasers, low-dimensional materials, and van der Waals heterostructures; and includes pedagogical features such as objectives and end-of-chapter homework problems to consolidate student understanding, and solutions for instructors. Designed to inspire the development of future quantum devices and systems, this is the perfect introduction to quantum mechanics for undergraduate electrical engineers and materials scientists." -- description from publisher's website
