Quantum information is an emerging field which has attracted a lot
of attention in the last couple of decades. It is a broad subject
which extends from the most applied questions (e.g. how to build
quantum computers or secure cryptographic systems) to the most
theoretical problems concerning the formalism and interpretation of
quantum mechanics, its complexity, and its potential to go beyond
classical physics. This book is an introduction to quantum
information with special emphasis on continuous-variable systems
(such as light) which can be described as collections of harmonic
oscillators. It covers a selection of basic concepts, focusing on
their physical meaning and mathematical treatment. It starts from
the very first principles of quantum mechanics, and builds up the
concepts and techniques following a logical progression. This is an
excellent reference for students with a full semester of standard
quantum mechanics and researchers in closely related fields.
Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) died at only 35 of pancreatic cancer
and has since become a cult figure of late 20th-century art.
Trained in architecture at Cornell, he went on to question the
field's conventions in vivid projects--performance and recycling
pieces, space and texture works and word games--some of which
excised holes into existing buildings or assembled deeds to New
York City alleys and curbs. The artist used a variety of media to
document his work, including film, video and photography. His work
and words, while sophisticated enough to make him an artist's
artist, and colossal and outgoing enough to draw public attention
and affection, were always also grounded in social or political
convictions. In the early 1970s, Matta-Clark developed the idea of
anarchitecture, which encompassed his interest in voids, gaps and
left-over spaces. Gordon Matta-Clark: Experience Becomes the Object
collects five essays and ten individual interviews with various
friends and family members of Matta-Clark's. Together, they outline
a biographical profile and offer an analysis of the historical
period in which the artist developed his short but successful
career. New, never-before-published material and photographs as
well as an exclusive link to the documentary Crosswords:
Matta-Clark's Friends by Matias Cardone are also included.
