With the rapid development of nanoscience and nano-engineering, quantum mechanics can no longer be considered exclusively the interest of physicists. Indeed, a fundamental understanding of physical phenomena at the nanoscale will require future electronic engineers, condensed-matter physicists and material scientists to master the fundamental principles of quantum theory.
Noticing that many textbooks on quantum mechanics are not meant for a wide audience of scientists, in particular those interested in practical applications and technologies at the nanoscale, the authors decided to fill this gap. In particular, they focus on the solution of problems that students and researchers working on state-of-the-art material and device applications might have to face. The problems are grouped by theme in 13 chapters, each completed by a section of further readings.
An ideal resource for graduate students, the book is also of value to professionals who need to update their knowledge or to refocus their expertise towards nanotechnologies.
