THE PHYSICS OF COMMUNICATION
Proceedings of the XXII Solvay Conference on Physics
Delphi Lamia, Greece 24 - 29 November 2001

edited by I Antoniou (International Solvay Institutes for Physics and Chemistry, Belgium & Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece), V A Sadovnichy (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia) & H Walther (University of Munich, Germany & Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics, Germany)

This volume presents the state of the art in the research on new possibilities for communication and computation based on quantum theory and nonlocality, as well as related directions and problems. It discusses challenging issues: decoherence and irreversibility; nonlocality and superluminosity; photonics; quantum information and communication; quantum computation.


Contents:

  • Decoherence and Irreversibility
  • Non-Locality and Superluminosity
  • Photonics
  • Quantum Information and Communication
  • Quantum Computation


Readership: Researchers, lecturers and PhD students in atomic physics, condensed matter physics and optics.
