For modeling a Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL), a user is seeking software options, preferably free or low-cost. A recommended tool is MonacoQC, which is Matlab-based and available on the TU Munich computational photonics group's GitHub repository. The versatility and ease of use of this tool are uncertain, but it may serve as a good starting point. Additional academic papers from the group may provide further insights into the modeling process. Exploring these resources could assist in the personal project effectively.

TL;DR
For a personal project, I am looking for computer software, free or for a small fee, that models a QCL laser, if possible.
Hi

For a personal project, I am looking for software that models a QCL laser. It can be free or for a small fee.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

There are some openly available tools (called MonacoQC, Matlab-based) for simulating quantum cascade structures on the Github of the computational photonics group of TU Munich:

I have no idea how versatile or easy to use they are, but maybe this is a reasonable starting point. I am quite sure there are also some papers by that group that describe the model in more detail, but I do not have a link available.
 
We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
