Abstract:
This text, for the first time, introduces quantum theory from the perspective of both the physical foundations and practical applications - from quantum computers to secure communication. It requires minimal mathematics and virtually no prior knowledge of physics, and is accessible to beginning undergraduates and students of related disciplines.

Publisher Synopsis
It is time to present quantum theory in a different way in the light of all the recent work in Quantum Information. Rau has thought this through in great detail. The content is road-tested, and looks compelling. * Lucien Hardy, Perimeter Institute, Waterloo * Fills an important gap in the market, and could be used in a variety of departments (such as computer science) as a first introduction to quantum theory. * Philip Goyal, University of Albany * An amazing book, introducing both the underlying physics and the math in a beautifully comprehensive way. * Bart Selman, Cornell University * Read more...
