Springer Advances in One-Dimensional Wave Mechanics: Towards A Unified Classical View

This book examines the motion of microscopic particles in one-dimensional, arbitrary-shaped potentials based on the analogy between Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism. Covers scattered sub-waves and new results using the Analytical Transfer Matrix method. Review From the book reviews: “The motion of microscopic particles in one-dimensional, arbitrary-shaped potentials is studied in this book by using the analogy between the quantum mechanics and the electromagnetism theory. … The book is of interest for graduate students learning quantum theory and for researchers in electromagnetism, and in particular in the field of optical waveguide and integrated optics.” (Gheorghe Zet, zbMATH, Vol. 1297, 2014) From the Back Cover Advances in One-Dimensional Wave Mechanics provides a comprehensive description of the motion of microscopic particles in one-dimensional, arbitrary-shaped potentials based on the analogy between Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism. Utilizing a deeper understanding of the wave nature of matter, this book introduces the concept of the scattered sub-waves and a series of new analytical results using the Analytical Transfer Matrix (ATM) method. This work will be useful for graduate students majoring in physics, mainly in basic quantum theory, as well as for academic researchers exploring electromagnetism, particle physics, and wave mechanics and for experts in the field of optical waveguide and integrated optics.
