An Introduction to the Formalism of Quantum Information with Continuous Variables

By (author) Carlos Navarrete-Benlloch

This book is an introduction to quantum information with special emphasis on continuous-variable systems (such as light) that can be described as collections of harmonic oscillators. It covers a selection of basic concepts, focusing on their physical meaning and mathematical treatment. It starts from the very first principles of quantum mechanics, and builds up the concepts and techniques following a logical progression. This is an excellent reference for students with a full semester of standard quantum mechanics and researchers in closely related fields. View details

Electrostatic Phenomena on Planetary Surfaces

By (author) Carlos I Calle

The diverse planetary environments in the solar system react in different ways to the influence of the Sun. These different interactions define the electrostatic phenomena that take place on and near planetary surfaces and they have enormous implications for both humans and robotic exploration of the solar system. Recent and current planetary missions from international agencies have provided unprecedented information on the electrostatic environments of planets and moons. This book introduces electrostatics and then details what is known and what is being learned today. View details

The Globular Star Clusters of the Andromeda Galaxy

By (author) Charli M Sakari

This book presents a brief compilation of results from nearly a century of research on the globular star clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It explores the techniques and limitations of the observations, the successes and challenges of the models, and the paradigm for the formation of M31 that has gradually emerged. These results will eventually be superseded by new data, better analysis techniques, and more complex models. However, the emphasis of this book is on the techniques, thought processes, and connections with other studies.

Semiconductor Integrated Optics for Switching Light (Second Edition)

By (author) Charlie Ironside

This book covers the technology of switching or modulating light in semiconductor optical waveguides. Currently, a key function for optical communications systems is the conversion of data from an electrical signal to an optical signal for transmission in very low loss optical fibres and the converse process of optical to electrical conversion the O/E/O data conversion. It focuses on all-optical switching using second/third order optical nonlinearities in AIGaAs optical waveguides while covering a variety of device configurations including integrated nonlinear couplers and Mach-Zehnder interferometers.

Resonant Tunneling Diode Photonics

By (author) Charlie Ironside, Bruno Romeira, Jose Figueiredo

This book brings together two broad themes that have generated a great deal of interest and excitement in the scientific and technical community in the last 100 years or so: quantum tunnelling and nonlinear dynamical systems. It applies these themes to nanostructured solid state heterostructures operating at room temperature to gain insight into novel photonic devices, systems and applications.
