Quantum computation and information is a new, rapidly developing interdisciplinary field. Building on the basic concepts introduced in Volume I, this second volume deals with various important aspects, both theoretical and experimental, of quantum computation and information in depth. The areas include quantum data compression, accessible information, entanglement concentration, limits to quantum computation due to decoherence, quantum error-correction, and the first experimental implementations of quantum information protocols. This volume also includes a selection of special topics, including quantum trajectories, quantum computation and quantum chaos, and the Zeno effect.
