Abstract:

Mathematical methods, statistical and quantum mechanical theorems, and circuit models of various noisy systems are reviewed. The first part of the text covers fundamentals of statistics, Fourrier analysis, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and linear and nonlinear　circuit theory. The second part describes the noise properties of various devices and systems such as a macroscopic conductor, mesoscopic　conductor, macroscopic pn junction, mesoscopic pn junction, transistor, laser amplifier/oscillator, parametric amplifier/oscillator, classical optical　communication and quantum communication systems.
