Title | Design and Analysis of Secure Quantum Communication Schemes |
Author(s) | Zhou, Ri-Gui;Zhang, Xiao-Xue;Du, Lin-Tao |
Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
Description | XIII, 289 p. 47 illus., 28 illus. in color : online resource |
Abstract Note | This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design and analysis of quantum secure communication schemes. While quantum computers may provide a platform for arithmetic calculations which threaten classical cryptosystems, the development of quantum information has also brought a corresponding solution: quantum cryptography, which is the basis of quantum secure communication. Quantum secure communication (QSC) uses quantum states for key agreement and information transmission, and uses the basic principles of quantum mechanics to discover eavesdropping behavior, and to ensure the security of information. It can overcome the security risks of classical encryption technology and can securely distribute keys in real time via public channels. Beginning in 1984 with the first conception of quantum key distribution (QKD) based on single-photon polarization states, subsequent innovations include quantum identity authentication (QIA), quantum secret sharing (QSS), quantum direct communication (QDC), quantum key agreement (QKA), quantum private query (QPQ), and quantum network coding (QNC). Each of these schemes is explored in detail based on different environments and structures, along with specific security and feasibility analyses. This book is essential reading for academic researchers and graduate students in quantum science and technology, as well as professionals and engineers in quantum industries and cybersecurity |

Title | Information Theory : An Exploration Across Disciplines |
Author(s) | Ben-Naim, Arieh;Dufour, Claude |
Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024. |
Description | XV, 248 p. 103 illus., 42 illus. in color : online resource |
Abstract Note | This monograph explores the interdisciplinary applications of information theory, focusing on the concepts of entropy, mutual information, and their implications in various fields. It explains the fundamental differences between entropy and Shannon???s Measure of Information (SMI), presents the application of information theory to living systems and psychology, and also discusses the role of entropy in art. It critically overviews the definition of correlations and multivariate mutual information.These notions are used to build a new perspective for understanding the irreversibility of processes in macroscopic systems, while the dynamical laws governing the microscopic components are reversible. It also delves into the use of mutual information in linguistics, cryptography, steganography, and communication systems. The book details the theoretical and practical aspects of information theory across a spectrum of disciplines and is a useful tool for any scientist interested in what is usually called entropy |

Description | XI, 153 p. 70 illus., 16 illus. in color : online resource |
Abstract Note | This book introduces a comprehensive framework tailored for dissecting complex systems across diverse disciplines. What defines a complex system? How can we harness information to quantify its order, structure, and intricacy? Delving into phenomena from the intricate processes in physical systems to the dynamic behaviours in cellular automata and pattern formation, readers will uncover the profound interplay between physics and information theory. This intricate relationship provides fresh insight into physical phenomena, reimagining them through the lens of information. Notably, the book demystifies how seemingly opposing forces???rising order and increasing disorder???coexist, ultimately shedding light on the second law of thermodynamics as an outcome of deterministic, reversible dynamics beneath the surface. Geared towards graduate students, this book presumes an undergraduate foundation in mathematics and physics, ensuring a deep, engaging exploration for its readers |

Title | A Quantum Computation Workbook |
Author(s) | Choi, Mahn-Soo |
Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2022. |
Description | X, 436 p. 135 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource |
Abstract Note | Teaching quantum computation and information is notoriously difficult, because it requires covering subjects from various fields of science, organizing these subjects consistently in a unified way despite their tendency to favor their specific languages, and overcoming the subjects??? abstract and theoretical natures, which offer few examples of actual realizations. In this book, we have organized all the subjects required to understand the principles of quantum computation and information processing in a manner suited to physics, mathematics, and engineering courses as early as undergraduate studies.In addition, we provide a supporting package of quantum simulation software from Wolfram Mathematica, specialists in symbolic calculation software. Throughout the book???s main text, demonstrations are provided that use the software package, allowing the students to deepen their understanding of each subject through self-practice. Readers can change the code so as to experiment with their own ideas and contemplate possible applications. The information in this book reflects many years of experience teaching quantum computation and information. The quantum simulation-based demonstrations and the unified organization of the subjects are both time-tested and have received very positive responses from the students who have experienced them |

Title | Information Dynamics : In Classical and Quantum Systems |
Author(s) | Dittrich, Thomas |
Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2022. |
Description | XV, 557 p. 195 illus., 124 illus. in color : online resource |
Abstract Note | This wide-ranging book introduces information as a key concept not only in physics, from quantum mechanics to thermodynamics, but also in the neighboring sciences and in the humanities. The central part analyzes dynamical processes as manifestations of information flows between microscopic and macroscopic scales and between systems and their environment. Quantum mechanics is interpreted as a reconstruction of mechanics based on fundamental limitations of information processing on the smallest scales. These become particularly manifest in quantum chaos and in quantum computing. Covering subjects such as causality, prediction, undecidability, chaos, and quantum randomness, the book also provides an information-theoretical view of predictability. More than 180 illustrations visualize the concepts and arguments. The book takes inspiration from the author's graduate-level topical lecture but is also well suited for undergraduate studies and is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals |

Author(s) | Wolf, Ramona |
Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
Description | XI, 229 p. 56 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource |
Abstract Note | This textbook introduces the non-specialist reader to the concepts of quantum key distribution and presents an overview of state-of-the-art quantum communication protocols and applications. The field of quantum cryptography has advanced rapidly in the previous years, not least because with the age of quantum computing drawing closer, traditional encryption methods are at risk. The textbook presents the necessary mathematical tools without assuming much background, making it accessible to readers without experience in quantum information theory. In particular, the topic of classical and quantum entropies is presented in great detail. Furthermore, the author discusses the different types of quantum key distribution protocols and explains several tools for proving the security of these protocols. In addition, a number of applications of quantum key distribution are discussed, demonstrating its value to state-of-the-art cryptography and communication. This book leads the reader through the mathematical background with a variety of worked-out examples and exercises. It is primarily targeted at graduate students and advanced undergraduates in theoretical physics. The presented material is largely self-contained and only basic knowledge in quantum mechanics and linear algebra is required |

Title | Powers of Two : The Information Universe ??? Information as the Building Block of Everything |
Author(s) | Valentijn, Edwin A |
Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
Description | XVI, 173 p. 116 illus : online resource |
Abstract Note | Is everything Information? This is a tantalizing question which emerges in modern physics, life sciences, astronomy and in today???s information and technology-driven society. In Powers of Two expert authors undertake a unique expedition - in words and images - throughout the world (and scales) of information. The story resembles, in a way, the classic ???Powers of Ten??? journeys through space: from us to the macro and the micro worlds. However, by following Powers of Two through the world of information, a completely different and timely paradigm unfolds: The Information Universe in nature and in our society. In this book, we experience how information lies at the very foundation of our understanding of the Universe. |

Author(s) | Bergou, J??nos A;Hillery, Mark;Saffman, Mark |
Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
Description | XVII, 305 p. 50 illus : online resource |
Abstract Note | This new edition of a well-received textbook provides a concise introduction to both the theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum information at the graduate level. While the previous edition focused on theory, the book now incorporates discussions of experimental platforms. Several chapters on experimental implementations of quantum information protocols have been added: implementations using neutral atoms, trapped ions, optics, and solidstate systems are each presented in its own chapter. Previous chapters on entanglement, quantum measurements, quantum dynamics, quantum cryptography, and quantum algorithms have been thoroughly updated, and new additions include chapters on the stabilizer formalism and the Gottesman-Knill theorem as well as aspects of classical and quantum information theory. To facilitate learning, each chapter starts with a clear motivation to the topic and closes with exercises and a recommended reading list. Quantum Information Processing: Theory and Implementation will be essential to graduate students studying quantum information as well as and researchers in other areas of physics who wish to gain knowledge in the field. |
