Editors
Giulio Chiribella (The University of Hong Kong)
Robert W. Spekkens (Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics)
Content
Provides the first unified overview of the research area at the interface between Quantum Foundations and
Quantum Information.
Features 14 contributions from leading experts in the field.
Intended audience
The book is directed at researchers in physics, computer science, mathematics, and philosophy.
