Quantum computing, particularly in conjunction with a high level of interconnectivity facilitated by quantum connectivity, can facilitate a host of new, previously unattainable applications—these include blind quantum computation, (information) teleporting, clock synchronization, quantum key distribution, secure access to remote quantum computers, superdense coding, secure identification, quantum-secure encryption, distributed sensors, and other scientific and commercial applications, including new drug development.

Quantum Communication and Quantum Internet Applications is a basic introduction to quantum computing and presents the emerging foundations of quantum communications and applications. Written for telecommunications professionals, the book explains basic principles of quantum mechanics and strives to make quantum science accessible with a minimal mathematical investment. This book is a point of departure into the application of quantum computing and mechanics to communications. Features include:

An introductory overview of quantum communications
Basic and advanced mathematical concepts in quantum physics
Basic physical technologies
An overview of quantum computers and their role as nodes in the quantum internet (i.e., the Quaint)
Quantum communications, including logical architectures and the Quaint
Quantum-based security
Software tools to develop networked quantum applications.
Glossaries of terms and concepts.

The book synthetizes background material on quantum computing so that telecom managers and other telecom professionals can get a basic understanding of this fast-emerging computing discipline and its application to telecom. It is a guide to the newly emerging fields of quantum communications, quantum internet, remote connectivity, and networking.
