In addition to treating quantum communication, entanglement and algorithms, this book also addresses a number of miscellaneous topics, such as Maxwell's demon, Landauer's erasure, the Bekenstein bound and Caratheodory's treatment of the Second law of thermodyanmics.

This book gives an overview for practitioners and students of quantum physics and information science.
The authors provide an introduction to quantum computing. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in these disciplines, this text is illustrated with diagrams and exercises.
This book, first published in 2006, gives a self-contained introduction to the field for physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists who want to know more about this exciting subject.
Design a coding scheme that provides near-optimal compression. (a) Calculate the entropy for a sequence of letters occurring with same frequencies as in the English language. These frequencies are given in Table 3.1. Morse code replaces ...
This is not possible since ∇· E = 0 so there can be no local maximum or minimum of φ, only a saddle point. This result is known as Earnshaw's theorem. A saddle point can be generated in a quadrupole configuration as in Fig. 13.8.
With its careful development of concepts and thorough explanations, the book makes quantum computing accessible to students and professionals in mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
The text provides a unified viewpoint of quantum information theory and lucid explanations of those basic results, so that the reader fundamentally grasps advances and challenges.
When the transverse momentum is small we can treat the beam in the 'paraxial approximation'. We start with the Helmholtz ... In particular, it will allow us to derive the orbital angular momentum properties of paraxial light beams.
In that case, the only way they'll lose is if both of the coins land heads. Exercise: Prove that this is optimal. In other words, any strategy of Alice and Bob will win at most 75% of the time. Now for the punchline: suppose that Alice ...
