Cover of Quantum Information Theory
The field of quantum information theory hardly existed ten years ago, as an area of research. Advances in recent years now make it possible to create a textbook. The book is intended for undergraduates, in physics, computer science and related fields, and requires only linear algebra. The book is structured into five parts: introduction to the basic structure of quantum mechanics; classical information theory; information carrying capacities of quantum channels; review of quantum cryptography; and, algorithms and error correcting schemes for quantum computers.
