This book offers a comprehensive examination of ongoing advancements in theoretical and experimental approaches to Maxwell's equations. It focuses on three key aspects: quantum effects, scale effects, and kinetic effects, which exert subtle influences at microscopic levels. Addressing pressing challenges for future progress, the text explores the interplay of these phenomena within classical electromagnetism.

The evolution of data communication and information technology has led to a demand for high-density, minimization, ultra-compact nano-photo-electronic integration. As electronic devices scale down to nanometer and sub-nanometer levels, classical Maxwell's equations reveal quantum effects. This book provides insights into these advancements, focusing on potential applications in nano-scale electronic and optic devices.

Tailored for physicists, engineering scientists, electronics engineers, and developers, this text serves as a valuable resource. It guides readers from classical Maxwell's equations to their quantum-affected counterparts, providing essential insights for electromagnetic simulation and the design of nano-scale electronic and optic systems. With its blend of theoretical foundations and practical applications, this book equips professionals with the knowledge needed to apply these advancements in real-world scenarios.

Summarizes the latest research in electromagnetic theory, focusing on recent advancements in Maxwell's equations Serves as a comprehensive guide to emerging studies in the field, providing a roadmap for cutting-edge research Provides technological pathways and practical insights for nano-scale electronic and optical device applications
