Quantum Information and Computation
by John Preskill
Publisher: California Institute of Technology 1998
Number of pages: 481
Description:
In this course, we will study the properties that distinguish quantum information from classical information. And we will see how these properties can be exploited in the design of quantum algorithms that solve certain problems faster than classical algorithms can.

Quantum Information Theoryby Renato Renner - ETH Zurich
Processing of information is necessarily a physical process. It is not surprising that physics and the theory of information are inherently connected. Quantum information theory is a research area whose goal is to explore this connection.
