The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

All our former experience with application of quantum theory seems to say that what is
predicted by quantum formalism must occur in the laboratory. But the essence of quantum …

Finally, here is a modern, self-contained text on quantum information theory suitable for
graduate-level courses. Develo** the subject'from the ground up'it covers classical results …

One of the best signatures of nonclassicality in a quantum system is the existence of
correlations that have no classical counterpart. Different methods for quantifying the …

We review the theory of entanglement measures, concentrating mostly on the finite
dimensional two-party case. Topics covered include: single-copy and asymptotic …

The study of Gaussian states has arisen to a privileged position in continuous variable
quantum information in recent years. This is due to vehemently pursued experimental …

The second law of thermodynamics places constraints on state transformations. It applies to
systems composed of many particles, however, we are seeing that one can formulate laws of …

Quantum coherence and quantum correlations are of fundamental and practical significance
for the development of quantum mechanics. They are also cornerstones of quantum …

Statistical mechanics is one of the most successful areas of physics. Yet, almost 150 years
since its inception, its foundations and basic postulates are still the subject of debate. Here …

Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …
