Theoretical foundations of nanoscale quantum devices /
Premaratne, Malin,author.
Agrawal, G. P.(Govind P.),1951-author.
"In this book, we build a toolset useful for designing, controlling, and understanding the operation of such devices. Understanding of nature is based on simplified models with varying degrees of complexity that can be easily manipulated and observed. Our motivation behind this book is to show that such models of nanoscale quantum devices can be used to understand their operation and to optimize their performance. We achieve this goal by adopting quantum mechanics for the description of nanoscale devices. This book is an attempt to bring widely spread diverse theoretical tools under a single volume that should prove useful for both graduate students and scientists or engineers interested in using nanoscale quantum devices for various applications. Many books cover distinct areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology separately. This book is not intended to replace them but to complement them. The book content is the toolset that authors use in their day-to-day research work as active researchers in the field of nanophtonics"--
