Notes

  1. 1.

    Also called optical Bloch equation or Liouville-von Neumann equation in literature [2].

  2. 2.

    The current \(\mathbf{}{j}(\mathbf{}{r})= -i\frac{\wp \hbar }{2m} \left[ \psi _{\mathbf{e}}^{*}\left( \mathbf {r}\right) \nabla \psi _{\mathbf{g}}\left( \mathbf{{r}}\right) - \psi _{\mathbf{g}}\left( \mathbf{{r}}\right) \nabla \psi _{\mathbf{e}}^{*}\left( \mathbf{{r}}\right) \right] \), and the density \(\rho (\mathbf{{r}})=\wp \psi _{\mathbf{e}}^{*}\psi _{\mathbf{g}}\), where \(\wp \) is the charge and \(m\) is mass of the charged particle [7].

  3. 3.

    Also called Maxwell-Schrödinger equations in literature.
