Description
Applications of Quantum and Classical Connections in Modeling Atomic, Molecular and Electrodynamical Systems is a reference on the new field of relativistic optics, examining topics related to relativistic interactions between very intense laser beams and particles. Based on 30 years of research, this unique book connects the properties of quantum equations to corresponding classical equations used to calculate the energetic values and the symmetry properties of atomic, molecular and electrodynamical systems. In addition, it examines applications for these methods, and for the calculation of properties of high harmonics in interactions between very intense electromagnetic fields and electrons.
This resource is the only one of its kind, a valuable tool for scientists and graduate students interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics, as well as applied scientists interested in accurate atomic and molecular models.
- Features detailed explanations of the theories of atomic and molecular systems, as well as wave properties of stationary atomic and molecular systems
- Provides periodic solutions of classical equations, semi-classical methods, and theories of systems composed of very intense electromagnetic fields and particles
- Offers models and methods based on 30 years of research

Person
Alexandru Popa received a Physicist Engineer degree at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1966, a Master of Science degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1972, and a Ph.D. from the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1974. He was a Senior Researcher at the Laser Department, National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics, Institute of Atomic Physics, Bucharest. Since 2016 he has been retired but still works in the field of physical systems modeling.
Among his achievements, over a period of more than 50 years, are a connection between quantum equations and classical equations of physical systems, a wave model for atomic and molecular systems, whose accuracy is comparable to the accuracy of the standard Hartree-Fock model and accurate models of relativistic and ultra-relativistic interactions between laser beams and electrons. The wave model is extended to new fields such as molecular biology and the generation of electromagnetic waves and very short pulses in the attosecond domain.
