商品描述
This book employs a pedagogical approach that facilitates access to the fundamentals of quantum photonics. Beginning with a review of the quantum properties of photons and electrons, this book then introduces the concept of non-locality at the quantum level. It presents a determination of electronic band structure using the pseudopotential method, enabling the student to directly compute the band structures of most group IV, group III-V, and group II-VI semiconductors. This book devotes further in-depth discussion of second quantization of the electromagnetic field that describes spontaneous and stimulated emission of photons, quantum entanglement and introduces the topic of quantum cascade lasers, showing how electrons and photons interact in a quantum environment to create a practical photonic device.
This extensively updated third edition introduces major new material on squeezing and parametric amplification, offering a unified view of classical and non-classical optics. It presents a novel treatment of squeezed states of light, including their experimental detection using optical homodyne techniques, and expands the discussion of coherent states to include a broader class of minimum uncertainty states. This book also addresses foundational questions in quantum photonics--such as wavefunction collapse and tunneling time--that are rarely explored in textbooks, encouraging students to engage with open problems in the field. These additions make the third edition both a scientific and conceptual advancement over previous versions.
Pearsall's Quantum Photonics is supported by numerous numerical calculations that can be repeated by the reader, and every chapter features a reference list of state-of-the art research and a set of exercises. This book is an essential part of any graduate-level course dealing with the theory of nanophotonic devices or computational physics of solid-state quantum devices based on nanoscopic structures.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書採用一套有助於讀者掌握量子光子學（quantum photonics）基礎的教學方法。全書首先複習光子與電子的量子特性，接著介紹量子層級的非局域性（non-locality）概念。本書運用賓勢法（pseudopotential method）計算電子能帶結構，使讀者能夠直接計算大多數 IV 族、III-V 族與 II-VI 族半導體的能帶結構。書中進一步深入探討電磁場的二次量子化（second quantization），說明光子的自發發射與受激發射、量子糾纏，並介紹量子串級雷射（quantum cascade laser）主題，展示電子與光子如何在量子環境中交互作用，進而創造出實用的光子元件。
本次大幅更新的第三版新增了關於壓縮（squeezing）與參量放大（parametric amplification）的重要內容，提供經典光學與非經典光學的統一觀點。本書以新穎的方式處理光的壓縮態（squeezed states），包括使用光學同調偵測（optical homodyne techniques）進行實驗偵測，並擴充對同調態（coherent states）的討論，納入更廣泛的最小不確定性態（minimum uncertainty states）。本書也探討量子光子學中的基礎問題，例如波函數坍縮（wavefunction collapse）與穿隧時間（tunneling time）；這些主題在教科書中鮮少受到討論，能鼓勵學生投入該領域的開放性問題。這些新增內容使第三版相較於先前版本，在科學與概念層面都有進一步的提升。
Pearsall 的《Quantum Photonics》提供大量讀者可自行重現的數值計算；每章也都附有當代最先進研究成果的參考文獻，以及一組練習題。本書是任何探討奈米光子元件理論，或以奈米尺度結構為基礎之固態量子元件計算物理的研究所課程不可或缺的教材。
作者簡介
Thomas Pearsall has a distinguished career in photonic science and technology, where he has made major contributions to fiber-optic telecommunications and silicon photonics. A graduate of Cornell University, he worked in research at Thomson/CSF, and at Bell Labs for nearly two decades. In 1990, Pearsall was named Boeing-Johnson Chair and Professor at the University of Washington. From 1998 to 2002, he directed research on planar photonic crystals at Corning in Fontainebleau, France. Throughout his career, he has invented and developed the semiconductor materials, lasers, LEDs, and photodetectors that are ubiquitous in optical fiber telecommunication networks around the globe. He has also designed and demonstrated key elements of silicon-based photonics, using strained-silicon and silicon-based photonic crystal materials.
He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and a fellow of the IEEE.
