Quantum Approach to Informaticsby Stig Stenholm; Kalle-Antti Suominen
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 120.00An essential overview of quantum information Information, whether inscribed as a mark on a stone tablet or encoded as a magnetic domain on a hard drive, must be stored in a physical object and thus made subject to the laws of physics. Traditionally, information processing such as computation occurred in a framework governed by laws of classical physics. However, information can also be stored and processed using the states of matter described by non-classical quantum theory. Understanding this quantum information, a fundamentally different type of information, has been a major project of physicists and information theorists in recent years, and recent experimental research has started to yield promising results.

Handbook of Quantum Logic and Quantum Structuresby Kurt Engesser; Dov M. Gabbay; Daniel Lehmann
Elsevier 2007; US$ 250.00Since its inception in the famous 1936 paper by Birkhoff and von Neumann entitled ?The logic of quantum mechanics? quantum logic, i.e. the logical investigation of quantum mechanics, has undergone an enormous development. Various schools of thought and approaches have emerged and there are a variety of technical results. Quantum logic is a heterogeneous field of research ranging from investigations which may be termed logical in the traditional sense to studies focusing on structures which are on the border between algebra and logic. For the latter structures the term quantum structures is appropriate. The chapters of this Handbook, which are authored by the most eminent scholars in the field, constitute a comprehensive presentation... more...
Symmetries in Quantum Physicsby U. Fano; A. R.P. Rau
Elsevier 1996; US$ 78.00This text focuses on the physics of symmetries, developing symmetries and transformations through concrete physical examples and contexts rather than presenting the information axiomatically, mathematically, and abstractly. Readers are introduced gradually to advanced mathematical procedures, including the Wigner and Racah algebras and their applications to various symmetry groups. The book also includes some of the latest research on the use of non-invariance and non-compact groups in the consideration of relativistic and many-particle problems of atoms and nuclei. This book is an updated replacement for the text Irreducible Tensorial Sets (Academic Press, 1959). Parts A and B of the present book grew out of occasional lectures in the... more...
Operational Quantum Theory IIby Heinrich Saller
Springer 2006; US$ 160.00Deals with quantum theory at an advanced algebraic level. This work features many structures, which allow the reader to better understand the applications of operational quantum theory, and to provide conceptually appropriate descriptions of the subject. It aims to understand more deeply what one is working with in nonrelativistic quantum theory. more...
Handbook of Quantum Logic and Quantum Structuresby Kurt Engesser; Dov M. Gabbay; Daniel Lehmann
Elsevier 2008; US$ 220.00Quantum mechanics is said to be the most successful physical theory ever. It is, in fact, unique in its success when applied to concrete physical problems. On the other hand, however, it raises profound conceptual problems which are equally unprecedented. Quantum logic, the topic of this volume, can be described as an attempt to cast light on the puzzle of quantum mechanics from the point of view of logic. Since its inception in the famous 1936 paper by Birkhoff and von Neumann entitled ?The logic of quantum mechanics?, quantum logic has undergone an enormous development. Various schools of thought and approaches have emerged and there are a variety of technical results. The chapters of this volume constitute a comprehensive presentation... more...
Categorical Quantum Models and Logicsby Chris Heunen
Amsterdam University Press 2009; US$ 50.00This dissertation studies the logic behind quantum physics, using category theory as the principal tool and conceptual guide more...
