Assuming only knowledge of elementary probability, complex analysis and optics, the book guides its reader through the fundamentals of vector and Hilbert spaces and the necessary quantum-mechanical ideas, simply formulated in four postulates. A turn to practical matters begins with and is then developed by:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edevelopment of the concept of quantum decision, emphasizing the optimization of measurements to extract useful information from a quantum system;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egeneral formulation of a transmitter–receiver system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eparticular treatment of the most popular quantum communications systems—OOK, PPM, PSK and QAM;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emore realistic performance evaluation introducing thermal noise and system description with density operators;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econsideration of scarce existing implementations of quantum communications systems and their difficulties with suggestions for future improvement; and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseparate treatment of quantum information with discrete and continuous states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuantum Communications \u003c\/i\u003edevelops the engineering student’s exposure to quantum mechanics and shows physics students that its theories can have practically beneficial application in communications systems.
