“Having reviewed and synthesized his theoretical work in a companion volume, Popa here presents the applications of the theory to modeling the properties of atomic, molecular, and electrodynamic systems. For atomic and molecular systems, his calculation is based on the fact that the wave function and geometric elements of the wave described by the Schrödinger equation are mathematical objects that describe the same physical system and depend on its constants of motion.” —ProtoView.com, February 2014
From the Back Cover
Applications of Quantum and Classical Connectiosn in Modeling Atomic, Molecular and Electrodynamical Systems is intended for scientists and graduate students interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics, and on the other to applied scientists interested in accurate atomic and molecular models. This is a reference to those working in the new field of relativistic optics, in topics related to relativistic interactions between very intense laser beams and particles, and is based on 30 years of research. The novelty of this work consists of accurate connections between the properties of quantum equations and corresponding classical equations used to calculate the energetic values and the symmetry properties of atomic, molecular and electrodynamical systems, as well as offering applications using methods for calculating the symmetry properties and the energetic values of systems and the calculation of properties of high harmonics in interactions between very intense electromagnetic field and electrons.
About the Author
Alexandru Popa received a Physicist Engineer degree at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1966, a Master of Science degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1972, and a Ph.D. from the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1974. He was a Senior Researcher at the Laser Department, National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, Institute of Atomic Physics, Bucharest. Since 2016 he has been retired but still works in the field of physical systems modeling.
Among his achievements, over a period of more than 50 years, are a connection between quantum equations and classical equations of physical systems, a wave model for atomic and molecular systems, whose accuracy is comparable to the accuracy of the standard Hartree–Fock model and accurate models of relativistic and ultra-relativistic interactions between laser beams and electrons. The wave model is extended to new fields such as molecular biology and the generation of electromagnetic waves and very short pulses in the attosecond domain.
