Quantum Information Theory: Concepts and Methods, Paperback/Joseph Renes

If the carriers of information are governed by quantum mechanics, new principles for information processing apply. This graduate textbook introduces the underlying mathematical theory for quantum communication, computation, and cryptography. A focus lies on the concept of quantum channels, understanding fi gures of merit, e.g. fidelities and entropies in the quantum world, and understanding the interrelationship of various quantum information processing protocols. Dr. Joseph M. Renes Graduated in physics from Caltech in 1999 before pursuing research in quantum information theory at the University of New Mexico. He was awarded the PhD in physics in 2004 and habilitated at TU Darmstadt in 2011. He then joined ETH Zürich, where he is currently a Senior Scientist.
