Classical and Quantum Information Theory
An Introduction for the Scientist
Information theory lies at the heart of modern technology, underpinning muni-
cations, networking, and data storage systems. This book sets out, for the first time, a
complete overview of both classical and quantum information theory. Throughout, the
reader is introduced to key results without ing lost in mathematical details.
The opening chapters deal with the basic concepts and various applications of
Shannon’s entropy. The core features of quantum information and puting
are then presented. Topics such as coding, compression, error correction, cryptography,
and channel capacity are covered from both classical and quantum viewpoints. Employ-
ing an informal yet scientifically accurate approach, Desurvire provides the reader with
the knowledge to understand quantum gates and circuits.
Highly illustrated, with numerous practical examples and end-of-chapter exercises,
this text is ideal for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering and
computer science, and also for scientists and practitioners in the munications
industry.

Emmanuel Desurvire is Director of the Physics Research Group at Thales Research
and Technology, and has held previous positions at Stanford University, AT&T Bell
Laboratories, Columbia University, and Alcatel. With over 25 years’ experience in the
field of munications, he has received numerous recognitions for his scientific
contributions, including the 1994 Prize from the mission for Optics,
the 1998 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Engineering, the 2005 William Streifer Scientific
Achievement Award, and, in 2007, the IEEE/LEOS John Tyndall Award, Engineer of
the Year Award, and the France- Prize of the Academie´ des Sciences. He is also
Laureate of the 2008 Millennium Technology Prize.
