Download or read book Principles Of Quantum Computation And Information - Volume Ii: Basic Tools And Special Topics written by Giuliano Benenti and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007-03-21 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum computation and information is a new, rapidly developing interdisciplinary field. Its fundamental concepts and central results may not be easily understood without facing numerous technical details.Building on the basic concepts introduced in Vol I, this second volume deals with various important aspects, both theoretical and experimental, of quantum computation and information in depth. The areas include quantum data compression, accessible information, entanglement concentration, limits to quantum computation due to decoherence, quantum error-correction, and the first experimental implementations of quantum information protocols. This volume also includes a selection of special topics: chaos and quantum to classical transition, quantum trajectories, quantum computation and quantum chaos, and the Zeno effect.
