About this title

Synopsis

This book gives an overview for practitioners and students of quantum physics and information science. Unlike other books in quantum information and computing, this book is intended to be concise and to the point. This makes it useful in practical context of reading journal articles, performing research calculations or problems in graduate courses in physics and engineering. It is designed to provide ready access to essential information on quantum information processing and communication, such as definitions, protocols and algorithms. Quantum information science is a rapidly expanding area of technology and research containing a diverse spectrum of mathematical tools rarely found in clear and concise form. This book brings together this information from its various sources. It allows researchers and students in a broad range of areas to have this vital material directly at hand when needed. This is made possible by a concise and thorough format.

About the Author

Dr. Jaeger is Associate Professor at Boston University. He research focus has been in quantum mechanics, particularly quantum computing, quantum cryptography, quantum metrology and the foundations of quantum mechanics. He was worked in academia and industry in the United States and Europe as a research director, theorist and experimentalist. He participated in the building of the world's first practical metropolitan area quantum cryptographic network, the DARPA Quantum Network Test-bed, as a member of the Quantum Imaging Laboratory (and more recently the Quantum Communication and Measurement Laboratory) with Boston University's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the BU Photonics Center, along with colleagues at Harvard University and BBN Technologies.
