Quantum Continuous Variables 2nd Edition

Quantum Continuous Variables, 2nd Edition by Alessio Serafini — a definitive, up-to-date guide to continuous-variable quantum information that speaks directly to graduate students, researchers, and experimentalists worldwide.

Dive into a clear, mathematically rigorous yet accessible presentation of Gaussian states, symplectic methods, entanglement criteria, quantum channels, and measurement theory. This second edition refines core concepts and expands on applications in quantum optics, quantum information processing, and sensing, making it an essential reference for those working on photonic platforms, superconducting circuits, and hybrid quantum systems.

You’ll appreciate lucid derivations and practical insights that bridge abstract theory and laboratory practice. Chapters build systematically from fundamentals to advanced topics: phase-space methods, covariance-matrix techniques, resource theories for continuous variables, and protocols for communication and cryptography. Worked examples and intuitive discussions help translate formalism into tools you can use for research, coursework, or experiment design.

Whether you’re a graduate student seeking a comprehensive textbook, an instructor designing an advanced course, or a researcher needing a reliable reference, this edition delivers depth without sacrificing clarity. Its global relevance makes it suitable for readers across Europe, North America, Asia, and beyond, reflecting current developments in continuous-variable quantum technologies.
