"This is a fantastic book, with one of the authors no less than the very inventor of the word and idea of a qubit. When I opened the book for the first time, I found I couldn't stop reading through it and working out some of the problems. I should be ashamed to admit, but after 15 years as a professional quantum information theorist, I was still learning some elementary aspects of quantum mechanics. There's no book out there I would recommend more for learning the mechanics of this quantum world." Chris Fuchs, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, "With its comprehensive presentation of both quantum mechanics and QIC, this book, written by two pioneers of this emerging new approach to computing, is really one of a kind, something that the glowing editorial reviews on the book's back cover, written by well-known experts, are eager to point out. Most concepts that one would find in traditional nonrelativistic quantum mechanics physics books are presented in a clear and well thought-out manner (but be prepared for a bit more work when dealing with subtle notions such as quantum relative entropy or mutual information). Quantum mechanics concepts introduced in traditional physics books that have been left out here, such as particle scattering, S-matrix, and Heisenberg's formalism, are indeed less relevant in an introduction to QIC. The brilliant pedagogical approach taken by the authors, who are able to present quite abstract notions using a clear and sprightly style, together with the quality of the editing (I found very few typographical errors), will provide both students and researchers interested in the growing field of QIC with a pleasant and informative read. A final note, relevant in these days of e-reading craze: the quality of the paper chosen by the publisher for the hardcover edition of this book is a real visual and tactile treat." P. Jouvelot, Computing Reviews, "This textbook is, on the whole, a very impressive piece of work. It has clearly been refined over some time; the explanations and proofs that are scattered throughout the text are clearly written and elegant, and common themes are picked up repeatedly with increasing sophistication as the book goes along, without the earlier explanations seeming dumbed-down or inadequate. The exercises and problems are well-chosen to illustrate the ideas being explained. Overall, I found this book very impressive, and I think it could be adapted for a variety of undergraduate classes on quantum mechanics and quantum information. Moreover, I think it strongly shows that the case for teaching quantum mechanics by starting with simple, finite-dimensional systems is both practical and compelling. This book may well be the model for quantum mechanics classes of the future." Todd A. Brun, Mathematical Reviews, 'With its comprehensive presentation of both quantum mechanics and QIC, this book, written by two pioneers of this emerging new approach to computing, is really one of a kind … Most concepts that one would find in traditional nonrelativistic quantum mechanics physics books are presented in a clear and well thought-out manner (but be prepared for a bit more work when dealing with subtle notions such as quantum relative entropy or mutual information) … The brilliant pedagogical approach taken by the authors, who are able to present quite abstract notions using a clear and sprightly style, together with the quality of the editing … will provide both students and researchers interested in the growing field of QIC with a pleasant and informative read.' Computing Reviews, 'This superb new book by Ben Schumacher and Mike Westmoreland is perfectly suited for a modern undergraduate course on quantum mechanics that emphasizes fundamental notions from quantum information science, such as entanglement, Bell's theorem, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, and quantum error correction. The authors, who are themselves important contributors to the subject, have complete mastery of the material, and they write clearly and engagingly.' John Preskill, California Institute of Technology, 'This is a wonderful book! It covers the usual topics of a first course in quantum mechanics and much more, and it does so with an unusual conceptual depth. The inclusion of information theoretic ideas not only enriches the presentation of the basic theory - for example in helping to articulate the conditions under which quantum coherence is lost - it also opens up the large area of physics in which both quantum mechanical and information theoretic concepts play central roles.'

Schumacher and Westmoreland are equally effective at covering the more standard material included in other texts.

Throughout the book, the writing is clear and engaging and the mathematics is treated carefully. Original insights abound." William K Wootters, Williams College

Synopsis
A new and exciting approach to the basics of quantum theory, this undergraduate textbook contains extensive discussions of conceptual puzzles and over 800 exercises and problems. Beginning with three elementary 'qubit' systems, the book develops the formalism of quantum theory, addresses questions of measurement and distinguishability, and explores the dynamics of quantum systems. In addition to the standard topics covered in other textbooks, it also covers communication and measurement, quantum entanglement, entropy and thermodynamics, and quantum information processing. This textbook gives a broad view of quantum theory by emphasizing dynamical evolution, and exploring conceptual and foundational issues. It focuses on contemporary topics, including measurement, time evolution, open systems, quantum entanglement, and the role of information., A new and exciting approach to the basics of quantum theory, this undergraduate textbook contains extensive discussions of conceptual puzzles and over 800 exercises and problems. In addition to the standard topics covered in other textbooks, it covers communication and measurement, quantum entanglement, entropy and thermodynamics, and quantum information processing., How do worshippers understand the poetic line and the life of the world to come" when they pray the creed? Are they thinking of a geographical destination? A celestial community they will ultimately join? A participation in the life of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?Questions like these inspired John Craghan to mine the biblical texts for insight and answers about heaven. His exploration of the Christian understanding of the "afterlife" moves through the understandings of ancient Israel to the synoptic Gospels and ultimately to the nascent beliefs of the early Christians as reflected in the letters of Paul and the book of Revelation. Grounded firmly in Scripture and written in a lively accessible style, "And the Life of the World to Come" is an intellectual and spiritual journey for readers that are willing to explore their own beliefs and anxieties about the heavenly home promised by Jesus."John F. Craghan is professor emeritus of religious studies at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. He is North American editor for "Scripture in Church" (Dominican Publications: Dublin, Ireland) and is the author of numerous books, including "Exodus" in the Collegeville Bible Commentary series, "Psalms for al Seasons," and "The Gospels of the Weekday Lectionary "(Liturgical Press). Craghan has lectured widely in the United States and Latin America. His chief interest is to make the best of biblical scholarship accessible to a wider audience.""

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
