Product Description
Review
"The book is a good, techincal read, with many pithy or whimsical footnotes sprinkled throughout." --Jonathan R. Friedman, Physics Today
Product Description
This book offers a concise and up-to-date introduction to the popular field of quantum information. It has originated in a series of invited lecture courses at various universities in different countries. This is reflected in its informal style of exposition and presentation of key results in the subject. In addition to treating quantum communication, entanglement and algorithms in great depth, this book also addresses a number of interesting miscellaneous topics, such as Maxwell's demon, Landauer's erasure, the Bekenstein bound and Caratheodory's treatment of the Second law of thermodyanmics. All mathematical derivations are based on clear physical pictures which make even the most involved results - such as the Holevo bound - look comprehensible and transparent. The book is ideal as a first introduction to the subject, but may also appeal to the specialist due to its unique presentation.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good Book but dense and hard to get through,
This review is from: Introduction to Quantum Information Science (Oxford Graduate Texts) (Hardcover)
I was looking forward to get into entanglement workings but I hit a brick wall. I am mathematical but not familiar with Dirac notation so I found chapter 2 dense and very hard to get through. Few more pages and clear examples in this chapter would have made this book easier to read. Unless you are very familiar (formally taught) with bra-ket principles you will find that this is more advanced than you would wish for. However the exposition of Bell inequalities is well written and easy to follow. I haven't given up yet although its taken my initial enthousiasm away.
