Abstract

We present a viewpoint of the transport process in quantum cascade laser structures in which spatial transport of charge through the structure is a property of coherent quantum mechanical wave functions. In contrast, scattering processes redistribute particles in energy and momentum but do not directly cause spatial motion of charge.
