Quantum information theory has revolutionized our view on the true
nature of information and has led to such intriguing topics as
teleportation and quantum computation. The field - by its very
nature strongly interdisciplinary, with deep roots in the
foundations both of quantum mechanics and of information theory and
computer science - has become a major subject for scientists
working in fields as diverse as quantum optics, superconductivity
or information theory, all the way to computer engineers. The aim
of this book is to provide guidance and introduce the broad
literature in all the various aspects of quantum information
theory. The topics range from the fundamental aspects of the
theory, like quantum algorithms and quantum complexity, to the
technological aspects of the design of
quantum-information-processing devices. Each section of the book
consists of a selection of key papers (with particular attention to
their tutorial value), chosen and introduced by leading scientists
in the specific area. An entirely new introduction to quantum
complexity has been specifically written for the book.
