Overview

This short and concise primer takes the vantage point of theoretical physics and the unity of physics. It sets out to strip the burgeoning field of quantum information science to its basics by linking it to universal concepts in physics. An extensive lecture rather than a comprehensive textbook, this volume is based on courses delivered over several years to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, but essentially it addresses anyone with a working knowledge of basic quantum physics. Readers will find these lectures a most adequate entry point for theoretical studies in this field.

Reviews

From the reviews: <p> The best things about this book are its brevity and clarity. In around 100 pages it provides a tutorial introduction to quantum information theory, including problems and solutions. a ] ita (TM)s worth a look if you want to quickly get up to speed with the language and central concepts of quantum information theory, including the background classical information theory. (Craig Savage, Australian Physics, Vol. 44 (2), 2007) <p> This book presents a short introduction to the basic concepts of quantum information theory. The organization of the chapters is rather original since the concepts and methods are presented first in the classical and then in the quantum language. This expository trick efficiently highlights the differences between the two a ~worldsa (TM) and the advantages provided by quantum information processing. a ] it is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students. (Dario Tamascelli, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 d)
