Book Description
This book is the second volume in the series New Era Electronics, a compilation of lecture notes defining the important concepts tied to the electronics transition happening in the 21st century. Quantum communication is introduced in this volume through the coverage of relevant, basic concepts of quantum mechanics and the introduction of quantum elements of a quantum optical communication system. Also included is a quantum description of electromagnetic fields and its interaction with atoms to generate, store, measure and control quantum optical information encoded onto optical fields. By taking a conceptual and less mathematical approach to quantum optics and quantum information, this book becomes accessible to broader audiences and engineers working actively in the technical field. The reader is only required to have a basic understanding of undergraduate linear algebra.

About the Author
Mahdi Hosseini is Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and Northwestern University. He completed his PhD and postdoctoral studies at the Australian National University (2012) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2016), respectively, where he studied quantum interactions of light with room-temperature and laser-cooled atomic gases. His research group investigates rare-earth photonics and room-temperature light-atom interfaces for quantum optical communication and sensing. He is a recipient of the 2022 National Science Foundation Career Award and the Director of the IQPARC (iqparc.com), a DoD-funded institute on quantum education.
