Theory of Semiconductor Quantum Devices : Microscopic Modeling and Simulation Strategies Primary goal of this book is to provide a cohesive description of the vast field of semiconductor quantum devices with special emphasis on basic quantum mechanical phenomena governing the electro optical response of new generation nanomaterials. The book will cover within a common language different types of optoelectronic nanodevices including quantum cascade laser sources and detectors few electron exciton quantum devices and semiconductor based quantum logic gates. The distinguishing feature of the present volume is a unified microscopic treatment of quantum transport and coherent optics phenomena on ultrasmall space and time scales as well as of their semiclassical counterparts.
