![Book cover: Photonic Crystals](images/10586.jpg)
by Alireza Bananej (ed.) - InTech , 2015
In photonic circuits photons play the dominant role and they transfer the optical data. With the growth of technology, a new area started to grow as photonic crystals which now play an important role in designing and manufacturing compact devices ...

![Book cover: Interferometry with Atoms](images/10528.jpg)
by J.-F. Schaff, T. Langen, J. Schmiedmayer - arXiv , 2015
Optics and interferometry with matter waves is the art of coherently manipulating the translational motion of particles like atoms. Coherent atom optics is an extension of techniques that were developed for manipulating internal quantum states.

![Book cover: Photons, Schmotons](images/blank.gif)
by John Baez, Michael Weiss - University of California , 2002
What the heck is a photon, anyway? You need to understand Maxwell's equations and quantum mechanics, and to understand how they fit together. This text won't teach you quantum electrodynamics. But they'll give you a nudge in the right direction.

![Book cover: Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics](images/8299.jpg)
by DominikMarx, Juerg Hutter - John von Neumann Institute , 2000
The aim of molecular dynamics is to model the detailed microscopic dynamical behavior of many different types of systems. Molecular dynamics is a technique to investigate equilibrium and transport properties of many–body systems.

![Book cover: Optical Properties of Solids](images/5115.jpg)
by Frederick Wooten - Academic Press , 1972
The present book attempts to fill a need for a fundamental textbook which explains the optical properties of solids. It is meant to explain a number of important concepts rather than present a complete survey of experimental data.

![Book cover: The Theory of Electrons and its Applications to the Phenomena of Light](images/217.jpg)
by H. A. Lorentz - B.G. Teubner , 1916
Based on a course of lectures delivered at Columbia University by Nobel laureate H. A. Lorentz, this texte remains remarkably modern. Its outstanding discussion of general principles and experimental facts keep it vital.
