There has been growing interest in the model of semiconductor lasers with non-Markovian relaxation. Introducing senior and graduate students and research scientists to quantum mechanics concepts, which are becoming an essential tool in modern engineering, Engineering Quantum Mechanics develops a non-Markovian model for the optical gain of semiconductor, taking into account the rigorous electronic band-structure and the non-Markovian relaxation using the quantum statistical reduced-density operator formalism. Example programs based on Fortran 77 are provided for band-structures of zinc-blende and wurtzite quantum wells.

Reviews

"The present book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering, physics, and material science. It also provides the necessary theoretical back-ground for researchers in optoelectronics or semiconductor devices." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2012)

"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." (Book News, 1 October 2011)
