If the carriers of information are governed by quantum mechanics, new principles for information processing apply. This graduate textbook introduces the underlying mathematical theory for quantum communication, computation, and cryptography. A focus lies on the concept of quantum channels, understanding fi gures of merit, e.g. fidelities and entropies in the quantum world, and understanding the interrelationship of various quantum information processing protocols.

Learn how and when to use the right data structures in any situation, strengthening your computational thinking, problem-solving, and programming skills in the process.This accessible and entertaining book provides an in-depth introduction to computational thinking through the lens of data structures - a critical component in any programming endeavor. You'll learn how to work with more than 15 key data structures, from stacks, queues, and caches to bloom filters, skip lists, and graphs. You'll also master linked lists by virtually standing in line at a cafe, hash tables by cataloging the history of the summer Olympics, and Quadtrees by neatly organizing your kitchen cabinets, all while becoming familiar with basic computer science concepts, like recursion and running time analysis.

Data storage has grown such that distributed storage over a number of systems is now commonplace. This has given rise to an increase in the complexity of ensuring data loss does not occur, particularly where failure is due to the failure of individual nodes within the storage system. Redundancy was the main tool to combat this, but with huge increases in data, minimization of the overhead associated with this technique caused major concern. In a large data center, a third concern arose, namely the need for efficient recovery from the failure of a single storage unit. In this monograph, the authors give a comprehensive overview of the role of differing types of codes in addressing the issues in large distributed storage systems. They introduce the reader to regenerative codes, locally recoverable codes and locally regenerative codes; the three main classes of codes used in such systems. They give an exhaustive overview of how these codes were created, their uses and the developments and improvements of the codes in the last decade. This in-depth review gives the reader an accessible and complete overview of the modern codes used in distributed storage systems today. It is a one-stop source for students, researchers and practitioners working on any such system.

Common information measures the amount of matching variables in two or more information sources. It is ubiquitous in information theory and related areas such as theoretical computer science and discrete probability. However, because there are multiple notions of common information, a unified understanding of the deep interconnections between them is lacking. In this monograph the authors fill this gap by leveraging a small set of mathematical techniques that are applicable across seemingly disparate problems. The reader is introduced in Part I to the operational tasks and properties associated with the two main measures of common information, namely Wyner's and Gács-Körner-Witsenhausen's (GKW). In the subsequent two Parts, the authors take a deeper look at each of these. In Part II they discuss extensions to Wyner's common information from the perspective of distributed source simulation, including the Rényi common information. In Part III, GKW common information comes under the spotlight. Having laid the groundwork, the authors seamlessly transition to discussing their connections to various conjectures in information theory and discrete probability. This monograph provides students and researchers in Information Theory with a comprehensive resource for understanding common information and points the way forward to creating a unified set of techniques applicable over a wide range of problems.

In Silico Chemistry and Biology: Current and Future Prospects provides a compact overview on recent advances in this highly dynamic branch of chemistry. Various methods of protein modelling and computer-assisted drug design are presented, including fragment- and ligand-based approaches. Many successful practical applications of these techniques are demonstrated. The authors also look to the future and describe the main challenges of the field.

Rank-metric codes date back to the 1970s and today play a vital role in many areas of coding theory and cryptography. In this survey the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the known properties of rank-metric codes and their applications. The authors begin with an accessible and complete introduction to rank-metric codes, their properties and their decoding. They then discuss at length rank-metric code-based quantum resistant encryption and authentication schemes. The application of rank-metric codes to distributed data storage is also outlined. Finally, the constructions of network codes based on MRD codes, constructions of subspace codes by lifting rank-metric codes, bounds on the cardinality, and the list decoding capability of subspace codes is covered in depth. Rank-Metric Codes and Their Applications provides the reader with a concise, yet complete, general introduction to rank-metric codes, explains their most important applications, and highlights their relevance to these areas of research.

A New York Times BestsellerAn audacious, irreverent investigation of human behavior-and a first look at a revolution in the making Our personal data has been used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us stuff we don't need. In Dataclysm, Christian Rudder uses it to show us who we truly are. For centuries, we've relied on polling or small-scale lab experiments to study human behavior. Today, a new approach is possible. As we live more of our lives online, researchers can finally observe us directly, in vast numbers, and without filters. Data scientists have become the new demographers. In this daring and original book, Rudder explains how Facebook "likes" can predict, with surprising accuracy, a person's sexual orientation and even intelligence; how attractive women receive exponentially more interview requests; and why you must have haters to be hot. He charts the rise and fall of America's most reviled word through Google Search and examines the new dynamics of collaborative rage on Twitter. He shows how people express themselves, both privately and publicly. What is the least Asian thing you can say? Do people bathe more in Vermont or New Jersey? What do black women think about Simon & Garfunkel? (Hint: they don't think about Simon & Garfunkel.) Rudder also traces human migration over time, showing how groups of people move from certain small towns to the same big cities across the globe. And he grapples with the challenge of maintaining privacy in a world where these explorations are possible. Visually arresting and full of wit and insight, Dataclysm is a new way of seeing ourselves-a brilliant alchemy, in which math is made human and numbers become the narrative of our time.
