Quantum Information (Oxford Master Series in Physics Book 16) 1st Edition by Stephen Barnett | (PDF) Free Download

Description

Quantum information- the subject- is a new and exciting area of science, which brings together physics, information theory, computer science and mathematics. “Quantum Information”- the book- is based on two successful lecture courses given to advanced undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students in physics. The intention is to introduce readers at this level to the fundamental, but offer rather simple, ideas behind ground-breaking developments including quantumcryptography, teleportation and quantum computing. The text is necessarily rather mathematical in style, but the mathematics nowhere allowed priority over the key physical ideas. My aim throughout was to be as complete and self- contained but to avoid, as far as possible, lengthy and formalmathematical proofs. Each of the eight chapters is followed by about forty exercise problems with which the reader can test their understanding and hone their skills. These will also provide a valuable resource to tutors and lectures.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The content is very concise and dry. I have a background in physics but not in information theory. I particularly appreciate that the book starts with an introduction of Bayesian inference and information theory, establishing a very helpful link to quantum mechanics in the latter chapters. The book can be organized better for example with more section titles. I’m half into the book and often find that the topics are switched too quickly, with new concepts suddenly appearing within a paragraph. I have to go back and forth between sections and go to other references for better understanding. However this is not a severe problem once I am used to the author’s style. Strongly recommend.

⭐Super good pedagogy on generalized measurements.I gained a TON from these topics whereas mike and ike were less clear.Pleasure to read!

⭐Approximately masters student level, very intuitive explanations, very readable. Would recommend to anyone starting to study the field. This does not feel like a text book, rather a long introduction book, if you require a reference text this will be a good companion to one, but you should seek that elsewhere. Also a very reasonable price for the amount of content!

⭐Great book. Slow paced and clear explanation. Suitable for a newbie in this area.

⭐I wanted a book at the senior undergraduate level that would give me the background to understand what is happening in this field. “Quantum Information” has given me exactly what I wanted. So far I have read through the first two chapters and worked a number of the problems at the end of chapter one. The problems are relatively easy, right at the level I can handle, and help consolidate and extend my understanding of what was covered in the chapter.

⭐pages are printed too close to the binding. unreadable! bought this book twice, three months apart, same problem. all copies have this defect, stay away. oxford university press, shame on you: almost 40 euros for this print-on-demand junk.
