| Title | Quantum Chance : Nonlocality, Teleportation and Other Quantum Marvels |
| Author(s) | Gisin, Nicolas |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Copernicus
2. Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XXIII, 109 p. 12 illus., 3 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Quantum physics, which offers an explanation of the world on??the smallest??scale, has fundamental implications that pose a serious challenge to ordinary logic. Particularly counterintuitive is the notion of entanglement, which has been explored for the past 30 years and posits an ubiquitous randomness capable of manifesting itself simultaneously in more than one place. This amazing 'non-locality' is more than just an abstract??curiosity or paradox: it has entirely down-to-earth applications in cryptography, serving for example??to protect financial information; it also has enabled the demonstration of 'quantum teleportation', whose infinite possibilities even science-fiction writers can scarcely imagine. This delightful and concise??exposition does not??avoid the??deep logical difficulties of quantum physics, but gives the reader the insights needed to appreciate them??. From 'Bell's Theorem' to experiments in quantum entanglement, the reader will gain a??solid understanding of one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary physics |

| Title | It From Bit or Bit From It? : On Physics and Information |
| Author(s) | Aguirre, Anthony;Foster, Brendan;Merali, Zeeya |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | VIII, 240 p. 50 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The essays in this book look at the question of whether physics can be based on information, or ??? as John Wheeler phrased it ??? whether we can get ???It from Bit???.?? They are based on the prize-winning essays submitted to the FQXi essay competition of the same name, which drew over 180 entries. The eighteen contributions address topics as diverse as quantum foundations, entropy conservation, nonlinear logic and countable spacetime. Together they provide stimulating reading for all physics aficionados interested in the possible role(s) of information in the laws of nature. The Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi, catalyzes, supports, and disseminates research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology, particularly new frontiers and innovative ideas integral to a deep understanding of reality, but unlikely to be supported by conventional funding sources |

| Title | Introduction to Quantum Information Science |
| Author(s) | Hayashi, Masahito;Ishizaka, Satoshi;Kawachi, Akinori;Kimura, Gen;Ogawa, Tomohiro |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015. |
| Description | XIV, 332 p. 31 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents the basics of quantum information, e.g., foundation of quantum theory, quantum algorithms, quantum entanglement, quantum entropies, quantum coding, quantum error correction and quantum cryptography. The required knowledge is only elementary calculus and linear algebra. This way the book can be understood by undergraduate students. In order to study quantum information, one usually has to study the foundation of quantum theory. This book describes it from more an operational viewpoint which is suitable for quantum information while traditional textbooks of quantum theory lack this viewpoint. The current?? book bases on Shor's algorithm, Grover's algorithm, Deutsch-Jozsa's algorithm as basic algorithms. To treat several topics in quantum information, this book covers several kinds of information quantities in quantum systems including von Neumann entropy. The limits of several kinds of quantum information processing are given. As important quantum protocols,this book contains quantum teleportation, quantum dense coding, quantum data compression. In particular conversion theory of entanglement via local operation and classical communication are treated too. This theory provides the quantification of entanglement, which coincides with von Neumann entropy. The next part treats the quantum hypothesis testing. The?? decision problem of two candidates of the unknown state are given. The asymptotic performance of this problem is characterized by information quantities. Using this result, the optimal performance of classical information transmission via noisy quantum channel is derived. Quantum information transmission via noisy quantum channel by quantum error correction are discussed too. Based on this topic, the secure quantum communication is explained. In particular, the quantification of quantum security which has not been treated in existing book is explained.?? This book treats quantum cryptography from a more practical viewpoint |

| Title | Information & On-Line Data in Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Egret, D;Albrecht, M.A |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1995. |
| Description | XI, 291 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The ability of storing, managing, and giving access to the huge quantity of data collected by astronomical observatories is one of the major challenges of modern astronomy. At the same time, the growing complexity of data systems implies a change of concepts: the scientist has to manipulate data as well as information. Recent developments of the `WorldWideWeb' bring interesting answers to these problems. The book presents a wide selection of databases, archives, data centers, and information systems. Clear and up-to-date descriptions are included, together with their scientific context and motivations. Audience: This volume provides an essential tool for astronomers, librarians, data specialists and computer engineers |
