Introduction to Special Topic Forum Management Theory and Social Welfare: Contributions and Challenges

In this Introduction to the Special Topic Forum on Management Theory and Social Welfare, we first provide an overview of the motivation behind the special issue. We then highlight the contributions of the six articles that make up this forum and identify some common themes. We also suggest some reasons why social welfare issues are so difficult to address in the context of management theory. In...

Quantum computing and communications - Introduction and challenges

Article history: Available online 30 October 2013 Computer engineers are continuously seeking new solutions to increase available processing speed, achievable transmission rates, and efficiency in order to satisfy users’ expectations. While multi-core systems, computing clouds, and other parallel processing techniques dominate current technology trends, elementary particles governed by quantum ...

Introduction to quantum information theory

My name is Michael Nielsen, and I work at the University of Queensland on quantum information theory, which is the subject of my talk today. It’s part of a larger subject known as quantum information science, which is being investigated by many people at the University of Queensland as part of the activities of the Center for Quantum Computer Technology. Technical work on quantum information ge...

Introduction to Quantum Information Theory

Quantum computation and information studies how information is encoded in nature according to the laws of quantum mechanics and what this means for its computational power. In this note, we present a short and rather schematic introduction to quantum information theory by drawing comparisons to classical probability theory. For more details on quantum information theory and computation we refer...
