The aim of this book is to develop from the ground up" all of the major exciting preand post millenium developments in the general area of study known as quantum Shannon theory As such we spend a signicant amount of time on quantum mechanics fo
A relativistic quantum-mechanical descr iption of guided waves is given, based on which we present an alternative way to describe and interpret the propagation of electromagnetic wave packets through an undersized waveguide. In particular, we show th
