Quantum nanoelectronics : an introduction to electronic nanotechnology and quantum computing / Edward L. Wolf. - Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, c2009. - xvi, 456 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. - Physics textbook .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

1 Introduction and Review of Electronic Technology -- 2 From Electronics to Nanoelectronics: Particles, Waves, and Schrödinger's Equation -- 3 Quantum Description of Atoms and Molecules -- 4 Metals, Semiconductors, and Junction Devices -- 5 Some Newer Building Blocks for Nanoelectronic Devices -- 6 Fabrication and Characterization Methods -- 7 The Field Effect Transistor: Size Limits -- Devices Based upon Electron Tunneling: Resonant Tunnel Diodes -- 9 Single-Electron Transistors, Molecular and Hybrid Electronics -- 10 Devices Based on Electron Spin and Ferromagnetism for Storage and Logic -- 11 Qubits Versus Binary Bits in a Quantum Computer -- 12 Applications of Nanoelectronic Technology to Energy Issues -- 13 Future of Nanoelectronic Technology.

Here, the experienced author, Ed Wolf, introduces the current situation and presents a guide to the new possibilities for computing technology. This textbook is the first to handle those important areas not covered in existing books on nanoelectronics, such as quantum computing and alternative energy technology. Intended to be self-contained for students with two years of calculus-based college physics, with corresponding fundamental knowledge in mathematics, computing and chemistry.
