Quantum information- the subject- is a new and exciting area of science, which brings together physics, information theory, computer science and mathematics. "Quantum Information"- the book- is based on two successful lecture coursesgiven to advanced undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students in physics. The intention is to introduce readers at this level to the fundamental, butoffer rather simple, ideas behind ground-breaking developments including quantum cryptography, teleportation and quantum computing. The text is necessarilyrather mathematical in style, but the mathematics nowhere allowed priority over the key physical ideas. My aim throughout was to be as complete and self- contained but to avoid, as far as possible, lengthy and formal mathematical proofs. Each of the eight chapters is followed by about forty exercise problems with which the reader can test their understanding and hone their skills. Thesewill also provide a valuable resource to tutors and lectures. ÍNDICE: 1. Probability and Information; 2. Elements of Quantum Theory; 3. Quantum Cryptography; 4. Generalized Measurements; 5.
