Engineering Quantum Mechanics

Ahn (quantum electronics, U. of Seoul) and Park (electronic engineering, Catholic U. of Daegu, Korea) present a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in electrical engineering, physics, and materials science and engineering on quantum mechanics as it is increasingly being used in these fields. It also provides the necessary theoretical background for researchers in optoelectronics or semiconductor devices. The text covers basic quantum mechanics, basic quantum statistical mechanics, the elementary theory of electronic band structure in semiconductors, and applications in quantum information science and modern semiconductor laser theory.
