Principles Of Quantum Computation And Information - Volume Ii: Basic Tools And Special Topics

by Benenti Giuliano, Giulio Casati, Giuliano Strini

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 chaos and quantum to classical transition, quantum trajectories, quantum computation and quantum chaos, and the Zeno effect.
