Abstract: This is the 10th and final chapter of my book on Quantum Information, based on the course I have been teaching at Caltech since 1997. An earlier version of this chapter (originally Chapter 5) has been available on the course website since 1998, but this version is substantially revised and expanded. Topics covered include classical Shannon theory, quantum compression, quantifying entanglement, accessible information, and using the decoupling principle to derive achievable rates for quantum protocols. This is a draft, pre-publication copy of Chapter 10, which I will continue to update. See the URL on the title page for further updates and drafts of other chapters, and please send me an email if you notice errors.

Quantum data learning for quantum simulations in high-energy physics [55.41644538483948]
We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

Quantum Representations of Sound: from mechanical waves to quantum circuits [0.0]
This chapter introduces the state of the art in quantum audio and discusses methods for the quantum representation of audio signals. No quantum representation strategy claims to be the best one for audio applications. It can be argued that future quantum audio representation schemes will make use of multiple strategies aimed at specific applications.

We will study channels and their properties, and then go on to formulate quantum error correction in terms of quantum channels. We will see how a handful of problems in high energy physics, such as the black hole information problem and bulk reconstruction in AdS/CFT, can be cast in the information-theoretic language being set up.

Quantum information spreading in a disordered quantum walk [50.591267188664666]
We design a quantum probing protocol using Quantum Walks to investigate the Quantum Information spreading pattern. We focus on the coherent static and dynamic disorder to investigate anomalous and classical transport. Our results show that a Quantum Walk can be considered as a readout device of information about defects and perturbations occurring in complex networks.
