Quantum Electronics in Research
Catalog Description: 746 Quantum Electronics. (Crosslisted with ECE 746.) I,Even Yrs; 3cr. Elementary aspects of Lagrange theory of fields and field quantization; Bose, Fermi and Pauli operators; interaction of fields; quantum theory of damping and fluctuations; applications to lasers, nonlinear optics, and quantum optics. P:ECE-Physics 546; Physics 721 or ECE 740.
Course Prerequisite(s)

See catalog description above.
Textbook(s) and/or other required material

'Quantum Heterostructures', Mitin, Kochelap, Stroscio and optionally 'Quantum Electronics' by A. Yari
Course objectives

Gain a strong foundation in quantum physics and engineering of quantum devices. The course is intended for students from ECE, MS&E, and physics with an interest in quantum mechanics and its application to semiconductors.
Topics covered

The topics discussed start with operators, Hamiltonians, Schr�dinger equation, and second quantization. Analysis of transport in mesoscale and nanoscale systems will be performed and the electron-phonon and electron-photon interaction in detail investigated. Current research in the fields of quantum computing, nano-electromechanical systems, nanotubes and others will be reviewed.
