Features: This book starts with quantum information and uses classical information theory as a reference. By comparing the properties of classical bits and quantum bits (qubits), it introduces the concept of quantum computing, explains the fundamental transformation rules of quantum information, and introduces basic quantum logic gates. Building on quantum-classical information, it focuses on explaining the basic rules and principles of quantum information computing, as well as the fundamental methods of information computation in quantum information transmission. The content of this book covers the principles of quantum error correction coding and its coding construction principles, quantum entanglement states and their applications in quantum communication, purification protocols for quantum entanglement states and their applications, as well as an introduction to quantum communication channels and quantum channel capacity. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in disciplines such as information and computing, applied mathematics, communication engineering, and information engineering, or as a self-study reading material for senior university students and graduate students. It can also be used as an introductory reading for general readers interested in this field.
