As we get better at controlling materials and fabricating devices on the atomic scale, we’ll need more “quantum engineers” to tackle the inherent challenges of technologies that exploit quantum effects. Although many modern devices rely on quantum mechanics in one way or another—for example, on population inversion in lasers or electron tunneling in transistors—most of those quantum effects can be described semiclassically and are accessible to engineers who have taken the standard courses on solid state devices. This book is intended to provide a comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of quantum mechanics. The book could be used at schools that offer interdisciplinary but focused training for future workers in the semiconductor industry and for the increasing number of related nanotechnology firms, and even practicing people could use it when they need to learn related concepts ER -
