Talk:Quantum electronics

Clarity
In the 1950s to the 1970s the field was seen as what has now become the part of quantum optics that draws not from atomic physics but from solid-state physics.

To this educated Englishman, this sentence is completely devoid of meaning.

Solid State Physics and Electrons
"Solid-State Physics regularly takes Quantum Mechanics into account, and is usually concerned with electrons."

I'm a little uncertain about the above quote for the following reasons:
 * A lot of work copes pretty well with semi-classical models.
 * The second part ("is usually concerned with electrons") is a bit unclear. Phonons are a good example of Solid-State Physics, not concerned with electrons.

Can anyone think of a more accurate replacement for this sentence? --djsik 11:08, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Quantum electronics
I'm interested in quantum electronics, but this page only talks about its loss of focus because of its migration in to simular subjects but nothing about quantum electronics itself. Seb-Gibbs (talk) 13:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
