About The Book:
Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor by Supriyo Datta provides a thorough introduction to the atomistic theory of matter, focusing particularly on the concepts related to current flow. The book explores some of the most advanced ideas in non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics without assuming prior knowledge of quantum mechanics.

The first chapter offers an accessible description of quantum transport for beginners, gradually building up from fundamental concepts. The text then progresses from hydrogen atoms to more complex nanostructures, with a strong emphasis on understanding current flow across various systems. The final chapter summarizes key equations for quantum transport and demonstrates how conductors evolve from the atomic scale to the ohmic regime as they increase in size.

Packed with numerical examples and corresponding Matlab code, the book provides practical insights into the subject. Additionally, videostreamed lectures that align with specific sections of the book are available online, enhancing the learning experience. This book is primarily designed for senior and graduate students looking to deepen their understanding of quantum transport.
