Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is a comprehensive overview of quantum information, including computation, communication and cryptography. … The bibliography is extremely comprehensive. The book can be recommended as a useful resource for researchers in any area of quantum information, including those who are familiar with one topic and wish to enter another." (Simon J. Gay, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 c)
"As the title states, this book provides a concise overview over quantum information theory … . This is … a nice book which can be recommended to researchers in other fields who wants to get a fast and sound overview over the subject. It is also suitable for students learning quantum information theory … . For researchers working in quantum information theory it … can serve as a compact reference book." (Michael Keyl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1166, 2009)
