| Title | What is quantum information? / edited by Olimpia Lombardi, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sebastian Fortin, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, Federico Holik, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Cristian Lopez Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (x, 263 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 17 Jul 2017). |
| Contents | About the concept of information / Sebastian Fortin and Olimpia Lombardi -- Representation, information, and theories of information / Armond Duwell -- Information, communication and manipulability / Olimpia Lombardi and Cristian Lopez -- Quantum versus classical information / Jeffrey Bub -- Quantum information and locality / Dennis Dieks -- Pragmatic information in quantum mechanics / Juan Roederer -- Interpretations of quantum theory: a map of madness / Adan Cabello -- On the tension between ontology and epistemology in quantum probabilities / Amit Hagar -- Inferential versus dynamical conceptions of physics / David Wallace -- Classical models for quantum information / Federico Holik and Gustavo Martin Bosyk -- On the relative character of quantum correlations / Guido Bellomo and Angel Ricardo Plastino. |
| Summary | Combining physics and philosophy, this is a uniquely interdisciplinary examination of quantum information science which provides an up-to-date examination of developments in this field. The authors provide coherent definitions and theories of information, taking clearly defined approaches to considering information in connection with quantum mechanics, probability, and correlations. Concepts addressed include entanglement of quantum states, the relation of quantum correlations to quantum information, and the meaning of the informational approach for the foundations of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the mathematical concept of information in the communicational context, and the notion of pragmatic information are considered. Suitable as both a discussion of the conceptual and philosophical problems of this field and a comprehensive stand-alone introduction, this book will benefit both experienced and new researchers in quantum information and the philosophy of physics. |
