Introduction To Quantum Computation And Informationby H K Lo; T Spiller; S Popescu
World Scientific 1998; US$ 80.60
This book aims to provide a pedagogical introduction to the subjects of quantum information and quantum computation. Topics include non-locality of quantum mechanics, quantum computation, quantum cryptography, quantum error correction, fault-tolerant quantum computation as well as some experimental aspects of quantum computation and quantum cryptography. Only knowledge of basic quantum mechanics is assumed. Whenever more advanced concepts and techniques are used, they are introduced carefully. This book is meant to be a self-contained overview. While basic concepts are discussed in detail, unnecessary technical details are excluded. It is well-suited for a wide audience ranging from physics graduate students to advanced researchers. more...
Problems And Solutions In Quantum Computing And Quantum Informationby Willi-Hans Steeb; Yorick Hardy
World Scientific 2004; US$ 109.20
Quantum computing and quantum information are two of the fastest-growing and most exciting research areas in physics. The possibilities of using non-local behaviour of quantum mechanics to factorize integers in random polynomial time have added to this new interest. This invaluable book provides a collection of problems in quantum computing and quantum information together with detailed solutions. It consists of two parts: in the first part finite-dimensional systems are considered, while the second part deals with finite-dimensional systems. All the important concepts and topics are included, such as quantum gates and quantum circuits, entanglement, teleportation, Bell states, Bell inequality, Schmidt decomposition, quantum Fourier transform, magic... more...

Quantum Information Processingby D.G. Angelakis; M. Christandl; A. Ekert
IOS Press 2006; US$ 105.00
The knowledge that nature can be coherently controlled and manipulated at the quantum level was perceived as both a powerful stimulus and one of the greatest challenges facing experimental physics. Fortunately the exploration of quantum technology has many staging posts along the way, each of which will yield scientifically and technologically useful results and some of them are described in this volume. more...
Protecting Informationby Susan Loepp; William K. Wootters
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 34.00
In the transmission of information storage, preventing noise and/or eavesdropping is essential. This undergraduate introduction to quantum computing focuses on error correction and cryptography, providing a context in which ideas about mathematics, computer science and physics meet together, and students can understand the current thinking in quantum information theory. more...

NMR Quantum Information Processingby Ivan Oliveira; Roberto Sarthour Jr.; Tito Bonagamba; Eduardo Azevedo; Jair C. C. Freitas
Elsevier 2007; US$ 165.00
Quantum Computation and Quantum Information (QIP) deals with the identification and use of quantum resources for information processing. This includes three main branches of investigation: quantum algorithm design, quantum simulation and quantum communication, including quantum cryptography. Along the past few years, QIP has become one of the most active area of research in both, theoretical and experimental physics, attracting students and researchers fascinated, not only by the potential practical applications of quantum computers, but also by the possibility of studying fundamental physics at the deepest level of quantum phenomena. NMR Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Processing describes the fundamentals of NMR QIP, and the... more...
