Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd Semiconductor Quantum Bits
Book SynopsisThis book highlights state-of-the-art qubit implementations in semiconductors and provides an extensive overview of this newly emerging field. Semiconductor nanostructures have huge potential as future quantum information devices as they provide various ways of qubit implementation (electron spin, electronic excitation) as well as a way to transfer quantum information from stationary qubits to flying qubits (photons). Therefore, this book unites contributions from leading experts in the field, reporting cutting-edge results on spin qubit preparation, read-out and transfer. The latest theoretical as well as experimental studies of decoherence in these quantum information systems are also provided. Novel demonstrations of complex flying qubit states and first applications of semiconductor-based quantum information devices are given, too.Trade Review"Undoubtedly the book represents the interest for scientists working in this field and related physics fields.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Generalized Optomechanics And Its Applications:
Book SynopsisA mechanical oscillator coupled to the optical field in a cavity is a typical cavity optomechanical system. In our textbook, we prepare to introduce the quantum optical properties of optomechanical system, i.e. linear and nonlinear effects. Some quantum optical devices based on optomechanical system are also presented in the monograph, such as the Kerr modulator, quantum optical transistor, optomechanical mass sensor, and so on. But most importantly, we extend the idea of typical optomechanical system to coupled mechanical resonator system and demonstrate that the combined two-level structure and resonator system can serve as a generalized optomechanical system. The quantum optical properties, which exist in typical system, are also presented in the combined two-level structure and resonator system.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Theoretical Treatments in Generalized Optomechanical Systems; Light Propagation in Cavity Optomechanical System; Cavity Optomechanical System with Bose - Einstein Condensate; The Smallest Generalized Optomechanical System - A Single Quantum Dot; Nanomechanical Resonator Coupled to a Single Quantum Dot; Nanomechanical Resonator Coupled to a Hybrid Nanostructure; Optomechanical System with a Carbon Nanotube Resonator; A Circuit Cavity Electromechanical System; A Hybrid Optomechanical System Based on Quantum Dot and DNA Molecules.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Waves In Gradient Metamaterials
Book SynopsisThis book opens a new avenue to an engendering field of applied physics, located at the “crossing” of modern photonics, electromagnetics, acoustics and material science. It also highlights the concept of “non-locality”, which proves to be not a special feature of quantum phenomena, but is shown to have an important counterpart in classical physics and its engineering applications too. Furthermore, it visualizes the physical results by means of simple analytical presentations, reduced sometimes to the elementary functions.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Non-Local Dispersion of Heterogeneous Dielectrics; Gradient Photonic Barriers: Generalizations of the Fundamental Model; Resonant Tunneling of Light Through Gradient Dielectric Nanobarriers; Interaction of Electromagnetic Waves with Continuously Structured Dielectrics; Polarization Phenomena in Gradient Nanophotonics; Gradient Optics of Surface EM Waves in Metamaterials; Acoustic Barriers in Gradient Solids; Shear Acoustic Waves in Gradient Elastic Solids; Gradient Acoustics of Surface Waves in Metamaterials.

Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd Handbook of Optical Microcavities
Book SynopsisAn optical cavity confines light within its structure and constitutes an integral part of a laser device. Unlike traditional gas lasers, semiconductor lasers are invariably much smaller in dimensions, making optical confinement more critical than ever. In this book, modern methods that control and manipulate light at the micrometer and nanometer scales by using a variety of cavity geometries and demonstrate optical resonance from ultra-violet (UV) to infra-red (IR) bands across multiple material platforms are explored.The book has a comprehensive collection of chapters that cover a wide range of topics pertaining to resonance in optical cavities and are contributed by leading researchers in the field. The topics include theory, design, simulation, fabrication, and characterization of micrometer- and nanometer-scale structures and devices that support cavity resonance via various mechanisms such as Fabry–Pérot, whispering gallery, photonic bandgap, and plasmonic modes. The chapters discuss optical cavities that resonate from UV to IR wavelengths and are based on prominent III-V material systems, including Al, In, and Ga nitrides, ZnO, and GaAs.Trade Review"Optical micro- and nano-cavities underpin many of the major developments in current photonic science and technology. Given the sheer diversity of materials, wavelengths, cavity configurations, and applications being investigated, the organised overview provided by Dr. Choi’s excellent Handbook of Optical Microcavities is particularly timely. The judiciously selected chapters cover all the key themes and will provide an invaluable and accessible reference to students, researchers, academics, and those working in applied science."—Prof. Martin Dawson, University of Strathclyde, UK"This edited volume provides a snapshot of the achievements and challenges of the development and application of optical microcavities. It covers topics ranging from photonic crystal microcavities for lighting applications to optomechanical resonators, as well as simulation of planar photonic resonators and MOCVD material growth, among others. The experts who contributed the 13 chapters have produced a highly readable, well-illustrated book. Apart from the chapter on resonator simulation, the authors keep mathematical content to a minimum and emphasize the physical aspects. The editor doesn’t explicitly identify a target audience, but this volume will be a useful first point of contact for those just beginning research in this field as well as more experienced practitioners who require a clear introduction to the basic ideas." —K.
