What is Quantum Electronics?
Quantum electronics is not exactly (as one might expect) the part of electronics where quantum effects play a role (in analogy with the term quantum optics). Instead, it is an area of physics which is the basis of optoelectronics, dealing with the interaction of light and matter at the quantum level. The field of quantum electronics overlaps to some extent with solid-state physics, laser physics, quantum optics and photonics.
