Overview

Quantum computation and information is a new, rapidly developing interdisciplinary field. Its fundamental concepts and central results may not be easily understood without facing numerous technical details.Building on the basic concepts introduced in Vol I, this second volume deals with various important aspects, both theoretical and experimental, of quantum computation and information in depth. The areas include quantum data compression, accessible information, entanglement concentration, limits to quantum computation due to decoherence, quantum error-correction, and the first experimental implementations of quantum information protocols. This volume also includes a selection of special topics: chaos and quantum to classical transition, quantum trajectories, quantum computation and quantum chaos, and the Zeno effect.

Reviews

The book by Benenti, Casati and Strini is an excellent introduction to the fascinating field of quantum computation and information. The reader is gently introduced to this field starting from the basics in computation and quantum mechanics to the more advanced topics of quantum computation of dynamical systems. The book is written in a very clear way, accessible both to undergraduate and graduate students in physics, computer science and engineering.

The authors have not only considered the students and young researchers in their field, but, without explicitly saying so and with great tact, they have also thought of professors in other fields, who desperately try to keep up-to-date and to understand the formidably concise and technical articles which appear in Physical Review Letters, Nature and Science These two volumes, which I recommend to all colleagues in the aforementioned situation, take us back to the solid ground of sound quantum mechanics. -- II Nuovo Saggiatore II Nuovo Saggiatore
