Quantum Systems, Channels, Information: A Mathematical Introduction / Edition 2

by Alexander S. Holevo

Overview

Written by one of the founding fathers of Quantum Information, this book gives an accessible (albeit mathematically rigorous), self-contained introduction to quantum information theory. The central role is played by the concept of quantum channel and its entropic and information characteristics.

In this revised edition, the main results have been updated to reflect the most recent developments in this very active field of research.

Editorial Reviews

"Written in a mathematically rigorous way, the book gives an accessible and self-contained introduction to quantum theory of information and presents fundamental results in the subject." Mathematical Reviews "The book is suited for researchers, and lecturers who find the respective matter worked out and well ordered, as well as for students who may check their grasp, since any step is accompanied by task-oriented exercises. […] This book mediates the origins and the development up to the present state of art in a very instructive manner. It can be best recommended." Zentralblatt für Mathematik
