-Descripcion Original:

This largely self-contained book on the theory of quantum information focuses on precise mathematical formulations and proofs of fundamental facts that form the foundation of the subject. It is intended for graduate students and researchers in mathematics, computer science, and theoretical physics seeking to develop a thorough understanding of key results, proof techniques, and methodologies that are relevant to a wide range of research topics within the theory of quantum information and computation. The book is accessible to readers with an understanding of basic mathematics, including linear algebra, mathematical analysis, and probability theory. An introductory chapter summarizes these necessary mathematical prerequisites, and starting from this foundation, the book includes clear and complete proofs of all results it presents. Each subsequent chapter includes challenging exercises intended to help readers to develop their own skills for discovering proofs concerning the theory of quantum information. Review ‘This is a great book that fulfills a vital need: a unified, precise, and complete presentation of the most important topics in quantum information … Reading the book in detail (verifying the proofs all the while) gave me a solid, confident understanding of the techniques used by those in the field - an understanding that I am eager to apply in the future.’ Stephen A. Fenner, SIGACT News Book Description Formal development of the mathematical theory of quantum information with clear proofs and exercises. For graduate students and researchers. Book Description Intended for graduate students and researchers, this book presents a formal development of the mathematical theory of quantum information. Largely self-contained, with clear proofs and a wide range of exercises, it will help the reader grasp the fundamental facts and techniques that form the mathematical foundations of the subject.
