Quantum information

This article treats quantum information as such. For the relevant subject that is dealt with in institutes for quantum information , see Quantum Informatics .

Under quantum information is understood in quantum mechanical systems suspected information that is not with the laws of classical information theory can be described. It could play a central role in phenomena such as superposition and entanglement of states . Different definitions of the term quantum information are discussed. So far (2020) none of them could find general acceptance.
