Quantum information
Material type: TextLanguage: English Series: Oxford master series in atomic, optical and laser physics ; 16Publication details: Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009 Description: xi, 300p. PbkISBN: 9780198527633Subject(s): Quantum computers | Quantum theory | Information theoryDDC classification: 530.145 Summary: Quantum information- the subject- is a new and exciting area of science, which brings together physics, information theory, computer science and mathematics. Quantum Information- the book- is based on two successful lecture courses given to advanced undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students in physics. The intention is to introduce readers at this level to the fundamental, but offer rather simple, ideas behind ground-breaking developments including quantum cryptography, teleportation and quantum computing. The text is necessarily rather mathematical in style, but the mathematics nowhere allowed priority over the key physical ideas. My aim throughout was to be as complete and self- contained but to avoid, as far as possible, lengthy and formal mathematical proofs. Each of the eight chapters is followed by about forty exercise problems with which the reader can test their understanding and hone their skills. These will also provide a valuable resource to tutors and lectures.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
