As electronic, photonic, and plasmonic devices continue to shrink to mesoscopic and nanoscopic scales, understanding quantum physics (QP) and quantum electrodynamics (QED) becomes essential. Engineers working in these advanced fields increasingly need practical knowledge of QP and the ability to handle its complex calculations. However, many electrical engineers and applied physicists find the mathematics of QP and QED daunting and abstract.
The Mathematical Quantum Physics for Engineers and Technologists series is designed to explain the mathematical foundations of QP and QED from an engineer’s perspective, emphasizing clarity and intuitive understanding. Aimed at researchers and advanced students in electrical engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, and applied physics, these volumes help readers build a solid grasp of the mathematical complexities of quantum physics and quantum electrodynamics.
Volume 2 covers topics such as the ideal and perturbed quantum harmonic oscillator, displacement operator, squeezed states, single electron systems, the Schrödinger, Heisenberg, and Interaction pictures, the Feynman path integral, standard and generalized Trotter product formulas, and quantum electrodynamics.
