N2  - A modern introduction to quantum information with emphasis on quantum entanglement.

Discusses the physics behind introduced concepts at great length and favours this to mathematical formalism.

Covers a number of non-standard topics, such as Maxwell's demon, Landauer's erasure, the Bekenstein bound, and Caratheodory's view of the Second Law of thermodynamics.

Includes an explanation of the basic rules of quantum mechanics as well as the more advanced topics of mixed states and completely positive maps.

Includes an introduction to classical information theory
