This textbook provides a complete course in quantum mechanics for
students of semiconductor device physics and electrical
engineering. It provides the necessary background to quantum theory
for those starting work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures and
is particularly useful for those going on to work with
semiconductors and lasers.

This book was developed from a course the author has taught for
many years with a style and order of presentation of material
specifically designed for this audience. It introduces the main
concepts of quantum mechanics which are important in everyday
solid-state physics and electronics. Each topic includes examples
which have been carefully chosen to draw upon relevant experimental
research. It also includes problems with solutions to test
understanding of theory. For the second edition significant new
material has been added to each chapter, providing updated
connections with relevant experiments and device concepts. New
references and new problems are included.
