SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the study of Fano resonances, particularly the original paper by U. Fano titled "Effects of Configuration Interaction on Intensities and Phase Shifts," published in PR 124, 6 (1961). Participants express the need for more accessible resources to understand the complex theoretical aspects of Fano resonances. A recommended compendium is the MIT review titled "BIC review," which provides a comprehensive overview of the topic. Fano resonances are relevant across various fields, including physics, electrical engineering (EE), and mechanical engineering (ME).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fano resonances in quantum mechanics
  • Familiarity with configuration interaction in quantum systems
  • Basic knowledge of phase shifts in wave phenomena
  • Awareness of applications in electrical and mechanical engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Read U. Fano's original paper for foundational knowledge
  • Explore the MIT review on Bound States in the Continuum (BIC)
  • Investigate applications of Fano resonances in electrical engineering
  • Study the implications of Fano resonances in mechanical engineering contexts
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, electrical engineers, and mechanical engineers interested in the theoretical and practical applications of Fano resonances.

Good evening.
I wanted to study the theory about Fano resonances. I tried to read the paper but it doesn't seem very pedagogical to me and I coudn't understand all the details. Are there any notes or any good book where I can find a more precise theoretical description?
Thank you

Fano resonances show up in almost every branch of physics...also EE and probably ME. So it would be helpful to know what motivates this interest.

Yes sorry.. the paper I'm talking about is the original one from Fano,
U. Fano, "Effects of Configuration Interaction on Intensities and Phase Shifts", PR 124, 6 (1961).

For now I only want to study the theory to understand all the physics behind, is for this that I wrote this post!
