Product Description: This multi-authored textbook addresses graduate students with a background in physics, mathematics or computer science. No research experience is necessary. Consequently, rather than comprehensively reviewing the vast body of knowledge and literature gathered in the past twenty years, this book concentrates on a number of carefully selected aspects of quantum information theory and technology...read more

Product Description: This book offers a self-contained overview of the entropic approach to quantum dynamical systems. In it, complexity in quantum dynamics is addressed by comparison with the classical ergodic, information, and algorithmic complexity theories.
