Exact Methods in Low-Dimensional Statistical Physics and Quantum Computing/ Ecole d'ete de physique des houches: Lecture Notes of the Les Houches Summer School: Volume 89, July 2008

Low-dimensional statistical models are instrumental in improving our understanding of emerging fields, such as quantum computing and cryptography, complex systems, and quantum fluids. This book of lectures by international leaders in the field sets these issues into a larger and more coherent theoretical perspective than is currently available.
