Excellent book and price!!!.......2005-10-12

Even after 15 years of its original publication, this book is THE most complete reference concerning the application of advanced random functions in earth science problems. Unlike most statistics books, it combines a deep understanding of both statistics and earth sciences. I used it for many years in my research and now, at its very low price, I use it in my courses as well. Kudos!!!

Book Description

Quantum mechanics has evolved from a subject of study in pure physics to one with a wide range of applications in many diverse fields. The basic concepts of quantum mechanics are explained in this book in a concise and easy-to-read manner emphasising applications in solid state electronics and modern optics. Following a logical sequence, the book is focused on the key ideas and is conceptually and mathematically self-contained. The fundamental principles of quantum mechanics are illustrated by showing their application to systems such as the hydrogen atom, multi-electron ions and atoms, the formation of simple organic molecules and crystalline solids of practical importance. It leads on from these basic concepts to discuss some of the most important applications in modern semiconductor electronics and optics. Containing many homework problems and worked examples, the book is suitable for senior-level undergraduate and graduate level students in electrical engineering, materials science and applied physics.

Student's Perspective.......2007-01-10

I purchased this book as a student hoping to learn more about Quantum Mechanics. Unfortunately, I was more confused about Quantum before I read this book than afterwards. It contains a number of typos, especially in equations, that are easy to spot with prior knowledge on the subject but will confuse the new reader. The writing is very dense, and can be difficult to understand. A strong understanding of linear algebra is also a requirement for understanding this book. This isn't a terrible book, but I won't recommend it and have found better resources simply by searching google for "quantum mechanics."

Good response.......2006-11-06

I got the book in a damaged condition. But the seller was very good in accepting the mishap and responded in a very positive manner.

A good introductory book.......2006-01-29

This slim and affordable book gives a gentle introduction to quantum mechanics, then applies these concepts and tools to examine the fundamental electronic properties of atoms and molecules, including their interaction with photons. It concludes with an analysis of the electronic properties of semiconductors and the pn junction, and the nonlinear response of optical materials to intense light.

Rather than presenting a reiteration of its historical development to motivate the introduction of QM, the author takes the direct approach of showing why Newtonian mechanics cannot be applied to analyzing the dynamics of particles on an atomic scale. In early chapters the author makes a systematic comparison of how the motion of particles is described in QM and in classical mechanics so that the reader unfamiliar with QM can make the necessary conceptual leaps from familiar ground. Periodically the book presents both the classical and quantum views of a particular problem to show the more detailed and subtle effects predicted by quantum mechanics.

I found presentation of the material was logical and with just enough depth to get a basic understanding of semiconductor and opto-electronic material properties. Although it is succinctly reviewed in the early chapters, a prior familiarity with the concepts of linear algebra will make for easier going in some sections.

Lectures on Quantum Information (Physics Textbook)

ASIN: 354034571X

Book Description

This book is an introduction to the two closely related subjects of quantum optics and quantum information. Essentially, the physical aspects of quantum information processing have now become an integral part of quantum optics. The book gives a simple, self-contained introduction to both subjects, while illustrating the physical principles of quantum information processing using quantum optical systems. It thus has an interdisciplinary character. For the benefit of a wider audience and to make the subject matter of the book accessible to those with backgrounds other than physics, the authors also include a brief review of quantum mechanics. Although much of the material used here can also be found in other books, discussed at various depths, the particular combination of the topics covered in this book is unique. Furthermore, some aspects of quantum information, for example those pertaining to recent experiments on cavity QED and quantum dots, are described here for the first time in book form.

The Physics of Low-dimensional Semiconductors: An Introduction

ASIN: 0127426809

Book Description

In its original form, this widely acclaimed primer on the fundamentals of quantized semiconductor structures was published as an introductory chapter in Raymond Dingle's edited volume (24) of Semiconductors and Semimetals. Having already been praised by reviewers for its excellent coverage, this material is now available in an updated and expanded "student edition." This work promises to become a standard reference in the field. It covers the basics of electronic states as well as the fundamentals of optical interactions and quantum transport in two-dimensional quantized systems. This revised student edition also includes entirely new sections discussing applications and one-dimensional and zero-dimensional systems.

Key Features
* Available for the first time in a new, expanded version
* Provides a concise introduction to the fundamentals and fascinating applications of quantized semiconductor structures

Book Description

This set of lecture notes provides a detailed and up-to-date description of a field undergoing explosive growth, that of confined photon systems in the shape of microcavities or photonic crystals. Bringing together world leaders in the field, it provides all the basic tools needed to master a subject which will have both major impact in fundamental studies and widescale applications. Confined photon systems enable the study of low-dimensional photonic systems, modified light-matter interaction, e.g. between excitons and photons in all-solid-state semiconductor microcavities, and of many phenomena of quantum optics, including single photon generation, squeezed light, quantum state entanglement, non-local quantum measurements, and, potentially, quantum computation. They are also on the verge of yielding new, high performance optical devices for large-scale industries such as telecommunications and display technology.

Book Description

This book is the first collection of tutorials on nonlinear dynamics of lasers. The International Spring School on Fundamental Issues of Nonlinear Laser Dynamics was aimed at young researchers who are interested in working at the forefront of applied nonlinear mathematics and nonlinear laser dynamics. In a highly interdisciplinary spirit, there were tutorial presentations from 14 internationally recognized top experts from applied mathematics, theoretical and experimental physics, and engineering disciplines.
Topics included are: bifurcation theory, the notion of chaos, multiple time scale systems, and delay equations. The dynamics of lasers with optical injection and optical feedback, and lasers with spatio-temporal dynamics are discussed from the theoretical, experimental, and device simulation points of view. Applications of lasers include secure communications, pulse generation and telecommunication through optical fibers. This mixture of introductory material will benefit an inderdisciplinary readership of researchers, lecturers and students in the fields of applied mathematics, physics, and electrical engineering.
