The book serves as a vital bridge connecting the evolution of mathematical models with the emergence of stochastic (Monte Carlo) methods for simulating current transport in electronic devices. In terms of models, it traces the historical trajectory, beginning from classical charge carrier transport models for microelectronics to current quantum-based nanoelectronics. This comprehensive journey elucidates the solution methods, ranging from early phenomenological single particle algorithms suitable for stationary homogeneous physical conditions to complex algorithms for quantum transport, which involve particle generation and annihilation. By bridging the gap between monographs that focus on the theoretical development, physical aspects, applications, and solution methods of models, as well as those that solely employ theoretical approaches for finding stochastic solutions of Fredholm integral equations, the book provides a comprehensive and insightful resource for researchers and practitioners in the field.
