Mathematical Quantum Physics for Engineers and Technologists: Governing equations [Hardcover]

Continuing size reduction in mesoscopic and nanoscopic electronic, photonic, and plasmonic devices makes the employment of quantum physics (QP) and quantum electrodynamics (QED) inevitable. Engineers at the forefront of these fields increasingly need to have a working knowledge of QP and, more importantly, feel confident to manoeuver through the intricate calculations involved. However, electrical engineers and applied physicists are typically unfamiliar with the sophisticated mathematical apparatus in QP and QED, which is generally perceived to be formidably abstract.

TheMathematical Quantum Physics for Engineers and Technologistsvolumes aim to explain the mathematical foundation of QP and QED to engineers using an engineer's mindset as the starting point, and following a new line of thinking based on clarity and obviousness. Written for an audience of researchers and advanced students in electrical engineering, computer science, applied mathematics and applied physics, theMathematical Quantum Physics for Engineers and Technologistsvolumes guide readers towards acquiring a solid understanding of the mathematical intricacies of quantum physics and quantum electrodynamics.

Volume 2 covers topics including the ideal and perturbed quantum harmonic oscillator, the displacement operator, squeezed states, single electron systems, the Schrödinder picture, the Heisenberg picture, the Interaction picture, the Feynman path integral, the standard and generalized Trotter product formula, and quantum electrodynamics.

Size reduction in mesoscopic and nano-scoping electronic and plasmonic devices makes classical quantum mechanics (QM) and electrodynamics (QED) in electronics inevitable. Electronics engineers are unfamiliar with the mathematical apparatus in QM and QED, which can be formidably abstract. This book explains QM and QED to engineers.
