Classical and Quantum Information Theory Hardback: An Introduction for the Telecom Scientist - Hardcover

'The book would make an excellent text for an upper division graduate course in Electrical Engineering that might run one or two semesters. Meaningful problems, with a range of difficulty, are provided (answers are available from the publisher). The format and style of the book also make it a great choice for self-study. I recommend it highly.' Ivan P. Kaminow, University of California, Berkeley

'The most interesting presentation on quantum cryptography I have read. I really enjoyed reading the book and learned a lot. I am confident that readers will discover an original and interesting viewpoint on information theory.' Ivan Favero, Université Paris Diderot - CNRS

'The entire work is well and clearly presented with a mathematical background, and can be a good handbook for those which study the quantum information theory domain.' Zentralblatt MATH
