From the publisher

This book gives an overview for practitioners and students of quantum physics and information science. Unlike other books in quantum information and computing, this book is intended to be concise and to the point. This makes it useful in practical context of reading journal articles, performing research calculations or problems in graduate courses in physics and engineering. It is designed to provide ready access to essential information on quantum information processing and communication, such as definitions, protocols and algorithms. Quantum information science is a rapidly expanding area of technology and research containing a diverse spectrum of mathematical tools rarely found in clear and concise form. This book brings together this information from its various sources. It allows researchers and students in a broad range of areas to have this vital material directly at hand when needed. This is made possible by a concise and thorough format.

From the rear cover

This book is a comprehensive yet concise overview of quantum information science, which is a rapidly developing area of interdisciplinary investigation that now plays a significant role in physics, information technology and engineering. It is a handy reference for practitioners and students covering quantum mechanics, quantum key distribution, quantum computation and quantum communication, as well as explicating foundational issues of these topics. Specific protocols for quantum coding, quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution, quantum data compression and entanglement purification are discussed, as are quantum algorithms, including the Deutsch-Jozsa, Shor and Grover algorithms. Appendices on the mathematics of quantum information science and postulates of quantum mechanics are included. The book contains more than 25 illustrations that encapsulate essential ideas and fundamental constructs of quantum information science. The bibliography contains more than 400 articles from the literature of quantum mechanics and information science. Foreword by Prof. Tommaso Toffoli.

About the author

Dr. Jaeger is a professor at Boston University, where he earned his Ph.D. in Physics with Abner Shimony in 1995. He has published in a number of areas, including quantum computing, quantum cryptography, foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum metrology, and the history and philosophy of science. He was worked in academia and industry in the United States and Europe as a research director and investigator in quantum information science and quantum metrology. As a member of the Quantum Imaging Laboratory at Boston University's Photonics Center, along with colleagues at Harvard University and BBN Technologies, he helped build the world's first practical metropolitan area quantum cryptographic network, the DARPA Quantum Network Test-bed, serving as principal quantum entanglement theorist.
