Quantum Information Theory
[Versión en Castellano]
Quantum Information is a multidisciplinary and growing scientific arena where quantum physics meets
fields as diverse as mathematical statistics, cryptography, computer science, and nana-technology,
among others. “Information is physical” (Landauer, 1962), and therefore it can be stored and processed
by quantum systems, which follow the rules of Quantum Mechanics. There is a plethora of new possibilities
beyond the classical world and many puzzling and counterintuitive effects. Quantum Information Theory is
the theoretical body that extends classical information theory into this new framework.
Recent advances in experimental techniques, which have enabled us to study elementary systems such as
single atoms trapped in cavities, individual photons, etc, have been offering an extraordinary scenario for
testing many predictions of quantum mechanics that had remained unchecked since the thirties. Most of the related
theoretical work has been receiving renewed interest.
