Quantum information theory is a branch of science at the frontier of physics, mathematics,
and information science, and offers a variety of solutions that are impossible using classical
theory. This book provides a detailed introduction to the key concepts used in processing
quantum information and reveals that quantum mechanics is a generalisation of classical
probability theory. The second edition contains new sections and entirely new chapters: the
hot topic of multipartite entanglement; in-depth discussion of the discrete structures in finite …

A long journey to a distant destination can be tedious but, keeping the anticipated pleasure
of arrival in mind, we stoically make our way forward. On the other hand, there are travels for
which the journey itself is more rewarding than the destination. The subtitle of this book,” An
introduction to quantum entanglement”, is in fact the subject of the last of fifteen chapters.
While this is a worthwhile destination, it is the preceding fourteen chapters that make this
book a delight to read and to savour. In his recent book The Mathematician's Brain …
