Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

It is unanimously accepted that the quantum and the classical descriptions of the physical reality are very different, although any quantum process is "mysteriously" transformed through measurement into an observable classical event. Beyond the conceptual differences, quantum and classical physics have a lot in common. And, more important, there are classical and quantum phenomena that are similar although they occur in completely different contexts. For example, the Schrödinger equation has the same mathematical form as the Helmholtz equation, there is an uncertainty relation in optics very similar to that in quantum mechanics, and so on; the list of examples is very long. Quantum-classical analogies have been used in recent years to study many quantum laws or phenomena at the macroscopic scale, to design and simulate mesoscopic devices at the macroscopic scale, to implement quantum computer algorithms with classical means, etc. On the other hand, the new forms of light – localized light, frozen light – seem to have more in common with solid state physics than with classical optics. So these analogies are a valuable tool in the quest to understand quantum phenomena and in the search for new (quantum or classical) applications, especially in the area of quantum devices and computing.

Mircea Dragoman was born in Bucharest in 1955. He graduated the Polytechnical Institute in Bucharest, Electronic Faculty, in 1980. He received the doctoral degree in electronics in 1991. He is a senior researcher I at the National Research Institute in Microtechnologies, since 1996. He is teaching since 2008 at Univ. Poltehnica Bucharest ,Romania a course termed Advanced Technological Processes which related to nanotechnologies and advanced materials. He has realized the first carbon nanotube and graphene devices and circuits for high frequency applications enriching the novel area of Carbon-based Electronics. In the period 1992-1994 he was the recipient of the Humbold Fellowship award and he has followed postdoctoral studies at Duisburg University, Germany. He was invited professor at : CNR- Istituto di Electtronica dello Stato Solido-Roma (1996), Univ. Saint-Etienne -Franta (1997), Univ. Mannheim (1998-1999, 2001-2002), Univ. Frankfurt (2003), Univ. Darmstadt (2004); in the period 2005-2006, 2008-2010 he was nominated directeur de recherche at CNRS LAAS Toulouse. He has published more than 250 scientific papers in the following areas : nanoelectronics, microwaves, MEMS, optoelectronics. He eceived the "Gheorghe Cartianu" award of the Romanian Academy in 1999.He is co-author of the following books: D. Dragoman, M. Dragoman "Advanced Optoelectronic Devices", Springer (1999),D. Dragoman, M. Dragoman, "Optical Characterization of Solids, Springer (2002),st edition,420 pages i,( 2006), second edition (2008).D.Dragoman, M.Dragoman, Bionanoelectronics, Springer 2012.

Daniela Dragoman graduated the University of Bucharest, Physics Faculty, in 1989 and received the PhD degree from the University of Limerick, in 1993. She is Professor at the Physics Faculty, University of Bucharest. She teaches Solid State Physics and Nanophysics courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Her areas of interests include the physics and applications of nanostructures, with a particular emphasis of carbon nanotubes and graphene, and modeling of quantum nanoscale devices. She was the recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt fellowship during Feb. 1998-June 1999 and Sept. 2001-March 2002, when she worked at the Univ. of Mannheim, Germany, and occupied the position of Directeur de Recherche at LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France during July-September 2008, 2009, and 2010. She was also visiting professor at several universities in France, Germany, and Italy. Daniela Dragoman has published more than 270 scientific papers in areas including quantum and classical optics, quantum mechanics, and nanostructures. She co-authored the books Advanced Optoelectronic Devices (1999), Optical Characterization of Solids (2002), Quantum-Classical Analogies (2004) and Bionanoelectronics (2012, with an edition in 2014 at China Science Publishing and Media Inc.) published by Springer, and Nanoelectronics: Principles and Devices (1^st edition in 2006 and 2^nd edition in 2008) published by Artech House, as well as other book chapters. She received the "Gheorghe Cartianu" award of the Romanian Academy in 1999, for the book Advanced Optoelectronic Devices (Springer).
