Das ”freie” Photon der Quantenelektrodynamik
Im Physikunterricht steht 羹blicherweise ein Doppel-spalt-Versuch mit Laser-Licht im Zentrum, wobei in der Regel sehr viele Photonen beteiligt sind. Aber was geschieht, wenn jeweils nur ein Photon durch den Doppelspalt geschickt wird? Zur Veranschaulichung von Grundfakten der Quantenphysik (Unbestimmtheit, Komplementarit瓣t, ...) werden in der Schule in Ermangelung teurer Einzelphotonen-Ger瓣te Polarisationsexperimente mit Laser-Licht durchgef羹hrt. Stellen solche Experimente nur eine Analogie zum Verhalten eines einzelnen Photons dar, oder verhalten sich Einzelphotonen tats瓣chlich wie klassische elektromagnetische Wellen? Welcher-Weg-Information (WWI) und Interferenz schlie?en sich gegenseitig aus. Bei einem modifizierten Doppelspaltversuch mit Licht soll der Durchtrittsspalt an der Polarisation jedes Photons mittels eines Analysators abgelesen werden. Die Sch羹ler lernen dabei den Begriff des Quantenradierers kennen, denn durch die Orientierung eines Analysators k繹nne WWI gewonnen werden, oder sie k繹nne entfernt (ausradiert) werden, worauf Interferenz wieder sichtbar wird. Kann die Analysatorstellung wirklich den Durchtrittsort nachtr瓣glich und r羹ckwirkend beeinflussen (verz繹gerte Entscheidung, Retrokausalit瓣t)? Ein Hohlraum-Resonator f羹r elektromagnetische Wellen ger瓣t in Resonanz, wenn Wellen mit einer der Eigenfrequenzen des Resonators eingestrahlt werden. Kann der Hohlraum bereits mit einem einzigen Photon in Resonanz geraten? Mit Hohlraum-Resonatoren vor jedem Spalt k繹nnte man so bei einem Doppelspalt-Experiment mit Atomen den Durchtrittsort registrieren und WWI zu erhalten, ohne den Zustand des Atoms zu st繹ren. Zu solchen Fragen gibt das vorliegende Buch Antworten im Sinne der Quantenelektrodynamik, allerdings f羹r freie, nicht an Ladungen gekoppelte elektromagnetische Felder.

Density Matrix Theories in Quantum Physics
In Density Matrix Theories in Quantum Physics, the author explores new possibilities for the main quantities in quantum physics - the statistical operator and the density matrix. The starting point in this exploration is the Lindblad equation for the statistical operator, where the main element of influence on a system by its environment is the dissipative operator. Bondarev has developed the theory of the harmonic oscillator, in which he finds the density matrix and proves the Heisenberg relation. Bondarev has written the dissipative diffusion and attenuation operators and proven the equivalence of the Wigner and Fokker-Planck equations using them. He further develops theories of the light-emitting diode and ball lightning. Bondarev also derives equations for the density matrix of a single particle and a system of identical particles. These equations have a remarkable property: when the density matrix has a diagonal shape they turn into a quantum kinetic equation for probability. Additional chapters in the book present new theories of experimentally discovered phenomena, such as the step kinetics of bimolecular reactions in solids, superconductivity, superfluidity, the energy spectrum of an arbitrary atom, lasers, spasers, and graphene.Density Matrix Theories in Quantum Physics is an informative reference for theoretical physicists interested in new theories on the subject of complex physical phenomena, quantum theory and density matrices.

Information Metamaterials
Metamaterials have attracted enormous interests from both physics and engineering communities in the past 20 years, owing to their powerful ability in manipulating electromagnetic waves. However, the functionalities of traditional metamaterials are fixed at the time of fabrication. To control the EM waves dynamically, active components are introduced to the meta-atoms, yielding active metamaterials. Recently, a special kind of active metamaterials, digital coding and programmable metamaterials, are proposed, which can achieve dynamically controllable functionalities using field programmable gate array (FPGA). Most importantly, the digital coding representations of metamaterials set up a bridge between the digital world and physical world, and allow metamaterials to process digital information directly, leading to information metamaterials. In this Element, we review the evolution of information metamaterials, mainly focusing on their basic concepts, design principles, fabrication techniques, experimental measurement and potential applications. Future developments of information metamaterials are also envisioned.

Theoretical Foundations of Nanoscale Quantum Devices
Nanooptics which describes the interaction of light with matter at the nanoscale, is a topic of great fundamental interest to physicists and engineers and allows the direct observation of quantum mechanical phenomena in action. This self-contained and extensively referenced text describes the underlying theory behind nanodevices operating in the quantum regime for use both in advanced courses and as a reference for researchers in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and materials science. Presenting an extensive theoretical toolset for design and analysis of nanodevices, the authors demonstrate the art of developing approximate quantum models of real nanodevices. The rudimentary mathematical knowledge required to master the material is carefully introduced, with detailed derivations and frequent worked examples allowing readers to gain a thorough understanding of the material. More advanced applications are gradually introduced alongside analytical approximations and simplifying assumptions often used to make such problems tractable while representative of the observed features.

Electrically Driven Quantum Dot Based Single-Photon Sources
Semiconductor quantum optics is on the verge of moving from the lab to real world applications. When stepping from basic research to new technologies, device engineers will need new simulation tools for the design and optimization of quantum light sources, which combine classical device physics with cavity quantum electrodynamics. This thesis aims to provide a holistic description of single-photon emitting diodes by bridging the gap between microscopic and macroscopic modeling approaches. The central result is a novel hybrid quantum-classical model system that self-consistently couples semi-classical carrier transport theory with open quantum many-body systems. This allows for a comprehensive description of quantum light emitting diodes on multiple scales: It enables the calculation of the quantum optical figures of merit together with the simulation of the spatially resolved current flow in complex, multi-dimensional semiconductor device geometries out of one box. The hybrid system is shown to be consistent with fundamental laws of (non-)equilibrium thermodynamics and is demonstrated by numerical simulations of realistic devices.
