Quantum Computation and Quantum Information
TL;DR: In this article, the quantum Fourier transform and its application in quantum information theory is discussed, and distance measures for quantum information are defined. And quantum error-correction and entropy and information are discussed.
Quantum Computation and Quantum Information
TL;DR: This chapter discusses quantum information theory, public-key cryptography and the RSA cryptosystem, and the proof of Lieb's theorem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum Cryptography
TL;DR: The author revealed that quantum teleportation as “Quantum one-time-pad” had changed from a “classical teleportation” to an “optical amplification, privacy amplification and quantum secret growing” situation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A scheme for efficient quantum computation with linear optics.
TL;DR: It is shown that efficient quantum computation is possible using only beam splitters, phase shifters, single photon sources and photo-detectors and are robust against errors from photon loss and detector inefficiency.

The quantum theory of light
TL;DR: In this paper, the Planck's radiation law and the Einstein coefficients were used to describe the atom-radiation interaction and the quantum mechanics of optical fluctuations and coherence, respectively.
