Quantum electronics may be loosely defined as the areas of concern to both electronics and physics which deal with atomic, molecular, or nuclear resonance phenomena. It combines the techniques of electronics and of spectroscopy, and it examines the resonant behavior of individual atoms or molecules by the utilization of coherent electromagnetic radiation. It has resulted in the invention of the maser, with its subsequent development in varied forms and for varied applications, ranging from commercial communications to erudite investigations of cosmological theory.
