Nanoelectrodynamics: Electrons and Electromagnetic Fields in Nanometer-Scale Structure

Many books on mesoscopic systems have been published as progress has con­ tinued in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The focus in these books is mainly on quantum mechanical behavior in artificial electronic sys­ tems fabricated by nanometer-scale structuring. Such quantum mechanical behavior is projected to macroscopic observers and the quantum nature can be utilized in practical devices. Quantum computers, another hot topic nowa­ days, are characterized by excitation coherenc...
