abstract: Advanced and mature computer simulation methods exist in fluid dynamics, elec-
tromagnetics, semiconductors, chemical transport, and even chemical and material
electronic structure. However, few general or accurate methods have been developed
for quantum photonic devices. Here, a novel approach utilizing phase-space quantum
mechanics is developed to model photon transport in ring resonators, a form of en-
tangled pair source. The key features the model needs to illustrate are the emergence
of non-classicality and entanglement between photons due to nonlinear effects in the
ring. The quantum trajectory method is subsequently demonstrated on a sequence
of elementary models and multiple aspects of the ring resonator itself. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Electrical Engineering 2020
