Short description Quantum processing and communication is emerging as a challenging technique at the beginning of the new millennium. This revised and enlarged edition provides an up-to-date insight into the current research of quantum superposition, entanglement, and the quantum measurement process - the key ingredients of quantum information processing. The contributions - written by leading experts - bring together the latest results in quantum information as well as addressing all the relevant questions.
