Transitions from Digital Communications to Quantum Communications: Concepts and Prospects

This book addresses the move towards quantum communications, in light of the recent technological developments on photonic crystals and their potential applications in systems.

The authors present the state of the art on extensive quantum communications, the first part of the book being dedicated to the relevant theory; quantum gates such as Deutsch gates, Toffoli gates and Dedekind gates are reviewed with regards to their feasibility as electronic circuits and their implementation in syste...
