The book is designed for a one-semester graduate course in quantum mechanics for electrical engineers. It can also be used for teaching quantum mechanics to graduate students in materials science and engineering departments as well as to applied physicists. The selection of topics in the book is based on their relevance to engineering applications. The book provides the theoretical foundation for graduate courses in quantum optics and lasers, semiconductor electronics, applied superconductivity and quantum computing. It covers (along with traditional subjects) the following topics: resonant and Josephson tunneling; Landau levels and their relation to the integer quantum Hall effect; effective mass Schrodinger equation and semi-classical transport; quantum transitions in two-level systems; Berry phase and Berry curvature; density matrix and optical Bloch equation for two-level systems; Wigner function and quantum transport; exchange interaction and spintronic.
Contents:
- Basics of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics
- Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics
- Tunneling
- Problems with Discrete Energy Spectrum
- Periodic Potentials
- Matrix Form of Quantum Mechanics. Perturbation Theory. Density Matrix
- Spin. Identical Particles. Second Quantization. Quantization of Electromagnetic Field
Readership: Graduate students, professionals and researchers interested in electrical and electronic engineering, computer engineering and materials engineering.
Key Features:
- The book is specifically designed as a graduate course for electrical engineers. It can also be used for teaching quantum mechanics to graduate students in materials science and engineering departments and to applied physicists
- The book covers the topics which form the theoretical foundation for courses in quantum optics and lasers, semiconductor electronics, applied superconductivity and quantum computing
- It is a relatively short book that can be used for one semester course in quantum mechanics
