New Textbook Introduces Readers to the Fundamental Concepts of Information Theory and Quantum Entanglement.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c47548) has announced the addition of Lectures on Quantum Information In quantum mechanics, quantum information is physical information that is held in the "state" of a quantum system. The most popular unit of quantum information is the qubit, a two-state quantum system. to their offering. Quantum Information Processing is a young and rapidly growing field of research at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and computer science. Its ultimate goal is to harness quantum physics quantum physics n. (used with a sing. verb) The branch of physics that uses quantum theory to describe and predict the properties of a physical system. quantum physics See quantum mechanics. to conceive -- and ultimately build -- "quantum" computers that would dramatically overtake the capabilities of today's "classical" computers. One example of the power of a quantum computer (computer) quantum computer - A type of computer which uses the ability of quantum systems, such as a collection of atoms, to be in many different states at once. In theory, such superpositions allow the computer to perform many different computations simultaneously. is its ability to efficiently find the prime factors of a larger integer, thus shaking the supposedly secure foundations of standard encryption schemes. This comprehensive textbook on the rapidly advancing field introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of information theory and quantum entanglement Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual objects may be spatially separated. , taking into account the current state of research and development. It thus covers all current concepts in quantum computing quantum computing Experimental method of computing that makes use of quantum-mechanical phenomena. It incorporates quantum theory and the uncertainty principle. Quantum computers would allow a bit to store a value of 0 and 1 simultaneously. , both theoretical and experimental, before moving on to the latest implementations of quantum computing and communication protocols. With its series of exercises, this is ideal reading for students and lecturers in physics and informatics, as well as experimental and theoretical physicists The following is a partial list of theoretical physicists: Ancient Times
Author information Dagmar BruU graduated at RWTH RWTH Rheinisch Westfälische Technische Hochschule (Aachen, Germany) University Aachen, Germany, and received her PhD in theoretical particle physics from the University of Heidelberg in 1994. As a research fellow at the University of Oxford she started to work in quantum information theory. Another fellowship at ISI ISI International Sensitivity Index, see there Torino, Italy, followed. While being a research assistant at the University of Hannover she completed her habilitation habilitation, n See rehabilitation. . Since 2004 Professor BruU has been holding a chair at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the Heinrich-Heine-University Dusseldorf, Germany. Gerd Leuchs studied physics and mathematics at the University of Cologne The University of Cologne (German Universität zu Köln) is one of the oldest universities in Europe and, with over 44,000 students, the largest university in Germany. , Germany, and received his Ph.D. in 1978.
