✦ Synopsis

warmly. It comes from the highly respected Hewlett-Packard stable in Bristol and covers all one is liable to need to catch up with this rapidly growing "eld. All the quantum type requirements are at least introduced: quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, quantum error correction as well as some of their experimental aspects.

The book is based on a series of lectures given under the auspices of the Basic Research Institute in the Mathematical (`BRIMSa), part of the Hewlett-packard Laboratories, Bristol.

The authors are experts and we wish the book well.
