The Wigner function in science and technology /
This book is designed to give a background on the origins and development of Wigner functions, as well as its mathematical underpinnings. Along the way the authors emphasise the connections, and differences, from the more popular non-equilibrium Green's function approaches. But, the importance...

| 520 | 3 | |a This book is designed to give a background on the origins and development of Wigner functions, as well as its mathematical underpinnings. Along the way the authors emphasise the connections, and differences, from the more popular non-equilibrium Green's function approaches. But, the importance of the text lies in the discussions of the applications of the Wigner function in various fields of science, including quantum information, coherent optics, and superconducting qubits. These disciplines approach it differently, and the goal here is to give a unified background and highlight how it is utilized in the different disciplines. | |

| 545 | |a David Ferry is Regents' Professor Emeritus in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. He was also graduate faculty in the Department of Physics and the Materials Science and Engineering program at ASU, as well as Visiting Professor at Chiba University in Japan. He came to ASU in 1983 following shorter stints at Texas Tech University, the Office of Naval Research, and Colorado State University. In the distant past, he received his doctorate from the University of Texas, Austin, and spent a postdoctoral period at the University of Vienna, Austria. He enjoys teaching (which he refers to as 'warping young minds') and research. The latter is focused on semiconductors, particularly as they apply to nanotechnology and integrated circuits, as well as quantum effects in devices. In 1999, he received the Cledo Brunetti Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and is a Fellow of this group as well as the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics (UK). He has been a Tennessee Squire since 1971 and an Admiral in the Texas Navy since 1973. He is the author, co-author, or editor of some 40 books and about 900 refereed scientific contributions. Mihail (Mixi) Nedjalkov received his doctoral (PhD) degree in Physics in 1990 and his doctor of science (DSc) degree in Mathematics in 2011 at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS). He is Associate Professor with the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, BAS. He held visiting research positions at the University of Modena (1994), Arizona State University (2004) and mainly at the Institute for Microelectronics, TU-Wien (1998-date), supported by national and European projects. He has served as a lecturer at the 2004 International School of Physics 'Enrico Fermi', Varenna, Italy. His research interests include physics and modeling of classical and quantum carrier transport in semiconductor materials, devices and nanostructures, collective phenomena, theory and application of Monte Carlo methods. | ||
