Integrated Quantum Photonics
暫譯: 整合量子光子學

這本教科書全面涵蓋了整合量子光子學（IQP）的基本原理及其關鍵應用。雖然在量子、整合及非線性光學領域已有相關書籍，但並沒有一本書能在統一的背景下廣泛涵蓋IQP的基本原理，以便理解該領域及其在新興研究和工業領域的應用。這本書基於作者在全球各地授課的經驗，採用教學方法，從基本原則出發，並增強了練習題，以磨練讀者的基本理解能力和應用核心概念的能力。由於IQP預計在量子信息科學和技術的未來中將扮演重要角色，這本書將為初學者或進階讀者提供急需的基本和實用知識。這本教科書非常適合用於高年級本科生或初級研究生的整合量子光子學課程，也可作為更有經驗的研究人員的參考資料，以及希望提升技能和知識的行業研究人員的自學資源。

Prof. Thyagarajan is a multicultural educator with more than four decades of experience as a Professor of Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) and then at Bennett University (Times Media Group). He has played multiple roles across teaching, research, and administration, as a professor, Head of the Department and the Officiating Director (IITD). Prof. Thyagarajan has germinated novel ideas and demonstrated high impact scientific results in the fields of fiber optics, optical telecommunication, quantum optics and integrated optoelectronics, in projects funded both by federal (Asia, Europe, USA) and commercial sources. During his career, he has held numerous prestigious visiting scientist positions across the globe including in USA, France, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, and Poland, and has been decorated by multiple governments (India, France, USA) and industrial organizations for his outstanding contributions to science and education. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He is also a recipient of the Officier dans L'ordre des Palmes académiques from the French Government. He has held key positions in national and international federal committees overseeing funding allocations and scientific work in the areas of quantum optics, optical telecommunication, and integrated photonics. With more than 175 research papers, several patents, authorship of 10 internationally acclaimed textbooks, and creating 73 nationally acclaimed physics education videos on Quantum Electronics and Electromagnetics to his name, Prof. Thyagarajan strives to bridge cutting-edge scientific research and STEM education to motivate future generations of scientists to pursue their passion in science and technology.

泰雅卡拉教授是一位多元文化的教育者，擁有超過四十年的經驗，曾任印度德里科技大學（IITD）物理學教授，後來在班奈特大學（Times Media Group）任教。他在教學、研究和行政管理方面扮演了多重角色，包括教授、系主任及代理主任（IITD）。泰雅卡拉教授在光纖、光學電信、量子光學和整合光電學等領域孕育了新穎的想法，並展示了高影響力的科學成果，這些項目均由聯邦（亞洲、歐洲、美國）和商業來源資助。在他的職業生涯中，他曾在全球多個國家擔任多個著名的訪問科學家職位，包括美國、法國、加拿大、日本、香港和波蘭，並因其對科學和教育的卓越貢獻而受到多個政府（印度、法國、美國）和工業組織的表彰。他是美國光學學會和印度國家工程院的院士，並獲得法國政府頒發的學術榮譽軍官勳章（Officier dans L'ordre des Palmes académiques）。他在國內外的聯邦委員會中擔任關鍵職位，負責監督量子光學、光學電信和整合光子學領域的資金分配和科學工作。泰雅卡拉教授擁有超過175篇研究論文、數項專利、10本國際知名的教科書的著作，以及創作了73部國內知名的量子電子學和電磁學物理教育視頻，致力於將尖端科學研究與STEM教育相結合，以激勵未來的科學家追求他們在科學和技術方面的熱情。
