Introduction to Quantum Information Theory

Following the first and second quantum revolutions, quantum information theory has expanded beyond the field of physics into numerous other interdisciplinary areas. This book provides a comprehensive philosophical exploration of quantum mechanics and quantum information.

Key Concepts Explored

The author examines key concepts such as quantum reality, quantum entanglement, quantum information, the quantum world, quantum computing, and quantum matter, while also extending quantum mechanical theory to encompass phenomenology, hermeneutics, and trans-empirical philosophy.

Philosophical Foundations

Drawing on Kant's transcendental idealism and neo-Kantianism, the author introduces the concept of trans-empirical — that which transcends experience without abandoning it and which, in fact, enables it. The book skillfully demonstrates how trans-empirical reality and cognition offer valuable analytical frameworks for contemporary quantum philosophy.

Intended Audience

This work will appeal to scholars and graduate students in various disciplines, including the philosophy of science and technology, analytical philosophy, the philosophy of language, phenomenology, and hermeneutics.
