Quantum information science

Quantum information science is an area of study based on the idea that information science depends on
quantum effects in physics. It includes theoretical issues in computational models as well as more
experimental topics in quantum physics including what can and cannot be done with quantum
information. The term quantum information theory is sometimes used, but it fails to encompass
experimental research in the area and can be confused with a subfield of quantum information science
that studies the processing of quantum information.

Subfields include:

Quantum computing: Studies of how and whether a quantum computer can be built and the
algorithms that harness its power (see quantum algorithm)
Quantum error correction
Quantum information theory
Quantum complexity theory
Quantum cryptography and its generalization, quantum communication
Quantum communication complexity
Quantum entanglement, as seen from an information-theoretic point of view
Quantum dense coding
Quantum teleportation is a well-known quantum information processing operation, which
can be used to move any arbitrary quantum state from one particle (at one location) to
another.
