Modern quantum theory : from quantum mechanics to entanglement and quantum information /

"Based on a series of courses taught by the authors, this theoretical-physics textbook takes the reader on a journey from the beginnings of quantum theory in the early twentieth century to the realm of quantum-information processing in the twenty-first. It provides an introductory text on quant...
