Principles of Quantum Communication Theory: A Modern Approach

Understand

This is a preliminary version of a book in progress on the theory of quantum communication.

• We adopt an information-theoretic perspective throughout and give a comprehensive account of fundamental results in quantum communication theory from the past decade (and earlier), with an emphasis on the modern one-shot-to-asymptotic approach that underlies much of today's state-of-the-art research in this field.
• In Part I, we cover mathematical preliminaries and provide a detailed study of quantum mechanics from an information-theoretic perspective.
• We also provide an extensive and thorough review of quantum entropies, and we devote an entire chapter to the study of entanglement measures.
