Assuming only knowledge of elementary probability, complex analysis and optics, the book guides its reader through the fundamentals of vector and Hilbert spaces and the necessary quantum-mechanical ideas, simply formulated in four postulates. A turn to practical matters begins with and is then developed by: · development of the concept of quantum decision, emphasizing the optimization of measurements to extract useful information from a quantum system; · general formulation of a transmitter?receiver system · particular treatment of the most popular quantum communications systems?OOK, PPM, PSK and QAM; · more realistic performance evaluation introducing thermal noise and system description with density operators; · consideration of scarce existing implementations of quantum communications systems and their difficulties with suggestions for future improvement; and · separate treatment of quantum information with discrete and continuous states. Quantum Communications develops the engineering student?s exposure to quantum mechanics and shows physics students that its theories can have practically beneficial application in communications systems. The use of example and exercise questions (together with a downloadable solutions manual for instructors) will help to make the material presented really sink in for students and invigorate subsequent research. 000726573 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 16, 2015). 000726573 650_0 $$aQuantum communication. 000726573 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319155999 000726573 830_0 $$aSignals and communication technology. 000726573 852__ $$bebk 000726573 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-15600-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000726573 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:726573$$pGLOBAL_SET 000726573 980__ $$aEBOOK 000726573 980__ $$aBIB 000726573 982__ $$aEbook 000726573 983__ $$aOnline 000726573 994__ $$a92$$bISE
