Description

Quantum information science is a rapidly developing field that not only promises a revolution in computer sciences but also touches deeply the very foundations of quantum physics. This book consists of a set of lectures by leading experts in the field that bridges the gap between standard textbook material and the research literature, thus providing the ne- cessary background for postgraduate students and non-specialist researchers wishing to familiarize themselves with the subject thoroughly and at a high level. This volume is ideally suited as a course book for postgraduate students, and lecturers will find in it a large choice of material for bringing their courses up-to-date.

First Sentence

Abstract. I present a tutorial review of the behavior of a simple 2-state quantum system ("qubit") in interaction with a dissipative environment, with particular attention to the questions of when we can regard the system as effectively isolated and of "true" versus "false" decoherence.
