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.
