Synopsis

Second edition of the successful textbook which has emerged from a lecture series. The compact introduction addresses graduate students with a reasonably good background in physics, notably in quantum mechanics, plus some knowledge in introductory statistical mechanics and solid-state physics.
The authors explain basic concepts from quantum mechanics and computer science which are used throughout the whole field of quantum computing and quantum communication. This second edition reflects the rapid development of the main ideas and techniques, e.g. by including the most recent experiments on cold atoms.

About this title

From the Back Cover

"The book gives an impressive description of current experiments. Despite of the high density of information, the authors succeeded to describe the fundamental concepts and methods. As it contains numerous references and links, this book also forms a solid starting point for further studies."
