Fundamentals of Quantum Information Quantum Computation, Communication, Decoherence and All That

Quantum information science is a rapidly developing field that not only promises a revolution in computer sciences but also touches deeply the very foundations of quantum physics. This book consists of a set of lectures by leading experts in the field that bridges the gap between standard textbook material and the research literature, thus providing the ne- cessary background for postgraduate students and non-specialist researchers wishing to familiarize themselves with the subject thoroughly and at a high level. This volume is ideally suited as a course book for postgraduate students, and lecturers will find in it a large choice of material for bringing their courses up to date.Heiss, Dieter is the author of 'Fundamentals of Quantum Information Quantum Computation, Communication, Decoherence and All That', published 2002 under ISBN 9783540433675 and ISBN 3540433678.
