Thomas P. Pearsall Books

Focusing on the interplay between electrons and photons, this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum photonics. It begins with the quantum properties of these particles, exploring their non-locality and the electronic band structure through the pseudopotential method. The text delves into second quantization of the electromagnetic field, covering phenomena such as spontaneous and stimulated emission, quantum entanglement, and quantum cascade lasers, illustrating the practical applications of these concepts in photonic devices.
