Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Like the first one this second volume is written in an outstanding clear and instructive manner and covers the main fields of quantum information processing ... this excellent textbook guides the reader on a straight way to understand and work on quantum computing and information. It can be best recommended to students as well as to lecturers. -- Zentralblatt MATH

The presentation is lucid and well-planned. The detailed explanations of classical concepts such as data compression and encoding help put the quantum analogues in context. There are copious worked examples, and all exercises have full solutions given at the rear of the book ... their treatment of more mainstream parts of quantum information is clear, concise and comprehensive. This book deserves a home on many a bookshelf. -- Australian Physics

The second volume provides a great deal more depth on subjects vital to understanding quantum computers as a possible technology, as well as covering some side topics that are not so directly relevant, but that may be interesting for a sophisticated reader. This new volume also updates and greatly expands the discussion of current experimental techniques ... the two volumes of this text are also worthy entries, and could serve admirably in a graduate-level introductory course, particularly one with a significant experimental component, or one that also touches on quantum chaos. For professionals in quantum mechanics from certain backgrounds, this book may also work as an introduction to quantum computing. Certainly the authors are to be commended for producing such a well-written and accessible textbook. -- Mathematical Reviews
