      Quantum Communication and Cryptography introduces readers to the theory of quantum cryptography, with a focus will on quantum key distribution (QKD) and more advanced quantum cryptographic protocols beyond QKD. It contains a brief introduction to the field of modern cryptography that is needed to fully appreciate and understand how quantum cryptographic systems are proven secure, and how they can be safely used in combination with current day classical systems. Readers are then introduced to quantum key distribution (QKD) - perhaps the most celebrated, and currently the most practical, of quantum cryptographic techniques.Basic protocols are described, and security proofs are given, providing readers with the knowledge needed to understand how QKD protocols are proven secure using modern, state- of-the-art definitions of security. Following this, more advanced QKD protocols are discussed, along with alternative quantum and classical methods to improve QKD performance. Finally, alternative quantum cryptographic protocols are covered, along with a discussion on some of the practical considerations of quantum secure communication technology. Throughout, protocols are described in a clear and consistent manner that still provides comprehensive, theoretical proofs and methods.

      Quantum Process Algebra introduces readers to the algebraic properties and laws for quantum computing. The book provides readers with all aspects of algebraic theory for quantum computing, including the basis of semantics and axiomatization for quantum computing. With the assumption of a quantum system, readers will learn to solve the modeling of the three main components in a quantum system: the unitary operator, quantum measurement, and quantum entanglement, with full support of quantum and classical computing in closed systems. Next, the book establishes the relationship between probabilistic quantum bisimilarity and classical probabilistic bisimilarity, including strong probabilistic bisimilarity and weak probabilistic bisimilarity, which makes an axiomatization of quantum processes possible. With this framework, quantum and classical computing mixed processes are unified with the same structured operational semantics. Finally, the book establishes a series of axiomatizations of quantum process algebras. These process algebras support nearly all the main computation properties. Quantum and classical computing in closed quantum systems are unified with the same equational logic and the same structured operational semantics under the framework of ACP-like probabilistic process algebra. This unification means that the mathematics in the book can be used widely for verification of quantum and classical computing mixed systems, for example, most quantum communication protocols. ACP-like axiomatization also inherits the advantages of ACP, for example, and modularity means that it can be extended in an elegant way.

      Since its inception in the famous 1936 paper by Birkhoff and von Neumann entitled “The logic of quantum mechanics” quantum logic, i.e. the logical investigation of quantum mechanics, has undergone an enormous development. Various schools of thought and approaches have emerged and there are a variety of technical results.Quantum logic is a heterogeneous field of research ranging from investigations which may be termed logical in the traditional sense to studies focusing on structures which are on the border between algebra and logic. For the latter structures the term quantum structures is appropriate. The chapters of this Handbook, which are authored by the most eminent scholars in the field, constitute a comprehensive presentation of the main schools, approaches and results in the field of quantum logic and quantum structures. Much of the material presented is of recent origin representing the frontier of the subject. The present volume focuses on quantum structures. Among the structures studied extensively in this volume are, just to name a few, Hilbert lattices, D-posets, effect algebras MV algebras, partially ordered Abelian groups and those structures underlying quantum probability.
