  Quantum information science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quantum information science concerns information science that depends on quantum effects in physics.
The term quantum information theory is sometimes used, but it fails to encompass experimental research in the area.
Quantum teleportation is one well-known quantum information processing operation which reliably transfers an unknown quantum state from one point to another distant point, destroying the original state in the process.

 21st-Quantum Information Science & Technology
Quantum computing and communications are a huge paradigm shift that is going to cause massive disruptions in numerous social, economic and industrial areas.
Fig.1 When information is represented as a quantum state rather than in terms of classical bits, quantum information science is described as being generalizations or extensions of classical theory.
There is quantum teleportation (yep, it’s been proven to exist) which offers a convenient and safe way to pass quantum information from one part of a quantum computer to another, and even between quantum computers.

 Page of my Quantum Information Science Group
Quantum Information Science is a novel area of physics that has emerged from the idea of bringing together information theory and quantum mechanics.
Research in Quantum Information Science employs techniques and ideas from these areas but at the same time tries to investigate them further by viewing them from the hitherto unexplored perspective of information theory.
This includes a detailed quantitative understanding of quantum entanglement as a resource, the impact of ideas from information theory on other areas of physics such as statistical mechanics, the development of innovative quantum applications and the investigation of novel ways to implement quantum information processing in quantum optical or condensed matter systems.

 INFORMATION SCIENCE: ON QUANTUM ERROR CORRECTION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
She cannot generate copies of it (that is, prepare further atoms in the same state) because no method to do that is physically possible (the "no-cloning" theorem, which if broken would lead to various contradictions involving non-local correlations).
These parameters are related to the quantum parameters of Alice's atom, and when the three-atom group is perturbed by an error, the function of error-correction is to manipulate the group until the quantum parameters of Alice's atom are restored.[2,3]
He demonstrated the essential unity of all information media, pointing out that text, telephone signals, radio waves, pictures, film, and every other mode of communication could be encoded in the universal language of binary digits, or "bits" -- a term that first appeared in that Shannon 1948 paper.

An interactive proof system is a notion in computer science concerned with the following problem: A verifier V wants to decide whether a string x belongs to a language L. Sadly, V is polynomial time bounded which makes it difficult for him to solve this problem.
One of the biggest puzzles in the foundations of quantum computing is to determine which specific feature of quantum theory is responsible for the exponential speedup with respect to classical computing.
Whilst the attempt is not entirely successful, in that quantum computations cannot be thought of as merely tests of propositions in SQL, a method for deciding the truth of a proposition in SQL with nonzero probability of success on a quantum computer does exist.
