An Applied Approach to Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is vitally important in the study and design of semiconductor devices. The latest electronic and photonic devices have quantum mechanics at their core, and the emergence of quantum computing further increases the engineering importance of the subject. In contrast to the usual theoretical or experimental treatments of quantum physics, Introductory Applied Quantum and Statistical Mechanics approaches the subject from the point of view of an electrical engineer or materials scientist.
Equally useful as a reference for the practitioner and as a text, Introductory Applied Quantum and Statistical Mechanics introduces the reader to the fundamental concepts of quantum physics and their applications to electrical engineering, applied physics, and materials science. Developed from an introductory graduate course in the EECS Department at MIT, this book is structured with an eye towards how the laws enable one to design and build new and better devices. Throughout, theoretical results are supported with real-world systems and applications, and mastery of the material is assisted by worked examples and self-study questions.
A unique and useful resource, this book is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to apply the principles of quantum mechanics to the development of practical technical solutions.
