Fundamentals of Quantum Information

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 587))

Abstract

It is generally recognized that all the microscopic phenomena that we observe can be described and explained by the principles of Quantum Mechanics. These principles have been extensively tested, and some of them are commonly used in several technological applications. Other principles, like the ones related to the measurement process and the superposition principle, have only recently become important in some applications. In particular, they form the basis of what is called quantum communication and quantum computation. These two fields have been strongly developed during the last few years, and they may well give rise to a technological revolution in the fields of communication and computation [1].
